Kirkman and I worked together a lot when he was at Marvel, and we still get along fine. I’m happy for the success that he’s achieved, and I hope it continues. Doesn’t mean I agree with everything he says–but that wasn’t true when he was doing stuff for Marvel either.
And like anybody else, as soon as Brian’s books stop selling, his moment will have passed also. But he still seems to be camped out there at the top of the sales charts, so it hasn’t happened yet.
