I just picked up a special pack of a Legion mini that came out awhile back at the shop this week, and it was plotted by none other than BARRY KITSON.
I'm a fan of your art, Barry; and I'm completely blown away ALREADY by the Legion preview & designs we've seen.
What process do you prefer: writing or drawing the characters? Which process do you feel more ownership over? What's been the most satisfying (as it relates to any project, but Legion in particular due to location)?
don't mean to bug -- i was just curious

Hi Andy - Before I answer, please just let me say that I'm more than happy answering as many questions as folks want to ask!
The great thing about working with Mark has always been that I have a real say in the story lines without having to do the hard bit (typing in my case). I really feel I get the best of both worlds as I get to come up with story ideas and discuss Mark's ideas AND draw the book (which is the best fun). I do enjoy writing and have really enjoyed seeing how other people interpretted my scripts in the past - my favorite probably being the L.E.G.I.O.N. annual Mike McKone and I did together. However it's the collaborative part of comics creation that I really enjoy so I don't often like to write and draw a book.
With LSH I feel I do have a real 'ownership' of the characters with Mark, but where he has control over their words I have control of their look and body language - it's a real partbership that I think works very well for both of us. It certainly adds an element of fun to the process! As you can probably tell from the notes on the character sketches I've posted we swap ideas without reservation.

yeah it does i do a lot of collaborative work with artists in different mediums (film, theater, starting to branch into comics this year) and i love the possibilities of collaboration and i'm always curious about how others deal with/structure their relationships to the work and each other in the process
if that makes sense
THANKS BARRY
