In films there's more opportunities in the horror genre, so that's where most of the work shows up. I love visual filmmakers, and horror is a great way to get into film; it's creative, its visual, and it's visceral.

About his Iron Fist comic "The Living Weapon": I hope you all pick up the book and have as much fun reading it as I did creating it.

For me, martial arts movies are about a singular journey. I keep saying this, but Kung Fu isn't a team sport. It's about the enlightenment and journey of one man. Read Siddhartha, it's all in there. These are the origins of marital arts: One man versus another, one man versus a hundred,one man versus himself.

I've been kind of doing both movies and comic books in equal measure for a while now. I broke into comics first and started doing the movie stuff after that, so it's kind of a second career.

Comparing comics and films: It's really the yin and yang of creativity, and I like both of them. I love collaborating with people - artists, writers, actors and producers - but I also love just being able to have a medium where you can do everything yourself. In movies, every day is about compromise and negotiations and kind of persuasion. In comics, it's all you. You have to compromise with yourself and negotiate with yourself and persuade yourself. So it's two very opposite ways of doing things. I like being alone sometimes and just doing the work, and sometimes I like being around 100 people and collaborating. They're both cool.
