Will there be any tweak to the ending for publication?

How long had it been prior to your inking this since you had inked anything?

What was the feeling, sitting down to begin that process again?

Did it take long to get back into the groove?

My “retirement” lasted about two and a half years, so that long at least.

A mixture of trepidation and exhilaration.

Question of definition. The inks have been steadily improving, giving me George Lucas urges to start the whole thing over! (Realizing that if I did that I would just want to do it again when I “finished”.)

Some of the improvements spring from the pencils having gotten better as I went along.

I remember (IIRC) when you started this, it was a pencil experiment to see if
you could still do full pencils in the way you once did. Did you ever “answer”
that to your satisfaction?

JB, working on these panels really puts into focus the wonder of certain scenes. How do you make, for instance, a city street scene look like you actually took a snapshot of that location and drew it from reference? There's a down shot of Spider-Man swinging above the street and there's people reacting to what's happening with Nightcrawler, then you've got vehicles passing by and mannequins in shop windows (just an added touch that a bunch of artists probably wouldn't bother with). The building windows are not standard windows but have an art deco design - It all looks so natural. I may have asked before but is this just straight from your mind without reference?
