During the discussion, Pak spoke about his time working for former Texas Governor Ann Richards, his first series at Marvel Warlock and translating his filmmaking skills to the comic book medium. While speaking on the subject of acclaimed authors Neil Gaiman and Grant Morrison, Pak had this to say:



"Few writers have had such a massive impact upon the genre and are as beloved by their fans as Gaiman and Morrison. So taking on a project in their wake is a pretty insane undertaking. At the same time, every single project I've done for Marvel has been following on the heels of giants—how dare any of us follow up on the classic stories of folks like Stan Lee and Jack Kirby? The answer is that of course we dare — that's our calling and our job."
