Ultimately, there's always been a link between comic books and video games, and comic books and movies, and then basically all three steadily becoming this sort of transmedia.

Troy Duffy

I used to think about video games, "This is clearly an amazing, new narrative medium, and it's going to be mind-blowing when people get to grips with what's possible within this medium." It took us a century to get really good at film. Video games are at a much earlier stage.

Alex Garland

I'm a total nerd. I love comic books and video games and most of all zombies!

Katie Leclerc

Comics are a dying art. If you ask a little kid to choose between a video game with insane graphics or comic books... you have to compete with cable, satellite TV with its thousands of channels, and with video games that are like movies, with CGI explosions where you can blow up worlds.

Glenn Danzig

Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games.

Aaron Ashmore

Kids don't even read comic books anymore. They've got more important things to do - like video games.

Ang Lee

When a medium like games or comic books whips up such a rapture of enthusiasm, naturally we look for lessons we should be learning.

Dave Morris

My family put a lot of emphasis on homework, so there weren't too many comic books or video games for me, when I was growing up.

Wentworth Miller

Films are pushing envelopes in terms of what is horrific, but also on other areas: in video games, in comic books and outside life.

David Slade

I'm into video games, but only real specific lame video games. In a more traditional nerd sense, I just read lots of books and I enjoyed school.

Emily Browning

I'm part of that original generation that came up playing video games, that pumped a lot of our allowance into video games. We financed the rise of video games. I started playing them in the Straw Hat Pizza Palace at the Carriage Square Mall in Oxnard, CA.

Rich Moore

I grew up reading comic books. Super hero comic books, Archie comic books, horror comic books, you name it.

Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa

I've said this before, but I don't like putting captions in my comic books. I feel, for me, they become a crutch, a way to ignore the essential fact that our medium is a visual medium, and the greatest pleasures to be derived from comics are how stories can be told with pictures.

Tom King

I'm a geek of all general types. I like a little bit of everything, I love comic books, I love pro-wrestling, I love video games.

Ron Funches

Personally, I really enjoy sci-fi. I watch it, I read comic books, and I play video games. I love this kind of world, so to be able to work in it is a dream. I enjoy it.

Aaron Ashmore

A lot of the main audience thinks video game-based movies are always horror movies but it's totally not true. In video games you have adventure, sci-fi, horror, action and even comedy. I think that people should accept more that video games are kind of like the best-selling books of the new generation.

Uwe Boll
