Thor is a god who's lived in Asgard most all his life, but I think he still has a sense of awe and wonder about the place. I want us, as readers, to have that same sense of awe whenever we see, finally see, the golden spires of Realm Eternal.

I wrote and drew my own books on notebook paper, and I'd staple 'em together. I had my own fictional company, and we had our own thinly veiled offshoots of whatever was popular at Marvel and DC at the time.

It's not like what I do, how I write, changes depending on the nature of the project. I give each story my all, regardless of if there are a few thousand people reading it or a few hundred thousand.
Jason Aaron -
An important part of any good mystery story like 'Original Sin' is that it's not just a game of 'Clue' with surprise after surprise after surprise, but the goal is to tell a story in the midst of that. Even once you know the solution to the mysteries, it's far from the whole story.
Jason Aaron -
Especially those first few years of my comic book career, I had no idea what was going to happen the next day.
Jason Aaron -
I haven't really used Loki at all in 'Thor: God of Thunder' or the previous volume of Thor.
Jason Aaron -
As a kid, I was definitely a DC guy. I started reading big time in the '80s at the height of the Wolfman/Perez 'New Teen Titans.' That was definitely the book that hooked me.
Jason Aaron -
I love the Marvel movies, but I always feel like we should be a step ahead of the movies. One of the reasons those movies have been so good and so successful is that they've been very good at mining the comics.

Thankfully, I have a job where it does not matter in the least what I look like.
Jason Aaron -
I think it's our job as writers for Marvel Comics to continue to create those type of stories that can be mined instead of just trying to give readers exactly what they see on film.
Jason Aaron -
'Original Sin' is, for me, a murder mystery with a huge cast that plays out on a grand stage.

I just typed up three, four paragraphs of an idea and dropped it in a box at the Chicago Comic Con in the summer of 2000, I guess, or 2001 - I forget. I just dropped it on a stack of a giant pile of dozens of other entries. Months later, I was thrilled to get a call from a Marvel editor while I was working my crappy day-job.
Jason Aaron -
'Scalped' No. 1 was only the third comic script I'd ever written. I really learned a lot about writing on the fly with that series.
Jason Aaron -
I like to think I grow as a writer from every new experience.

From the get-go, 'Original Sin' was always as much a Nick Fury story as anything else.
Jason Aaron -
Yes, you know Luke Skywalker isn't going to die in issue #3. But that doesn't mean you've seen every Luke Skywalker story there is to tell.
Jason Aaron -
'Original Sin' is one of those ideas that has been circulating for several years at the Marvel retreats we have a couple times a year. We have all these ideas floating around for a bit before we figure out how to align them.
Jason Aaron -
You gotta trust your artist. I love writing pages without dialogue, which seems weird, I guess. But few things are as powerful in comics as a really strong silent page.
Jason Aaron -
I don't know about young Thor and King Thor getting their own series someday, although it would be nice if I could write three Thor series at the same time.
Jason Aaron -
'Ghost Rider' definitely has an appeal that's far beyond comics.
Jason Aaron
-
I love working at Marvel, but it was definitely DC that got me hooked as a reader.
Jason Aaron -
I love characters who are kind of haunted by their pasts, who struggle on despite their flaws, knowing that, at the end of the day, they're not going to shuffle off to those pearly gates.
Jason Aaron -
I think the oldest comic I got when I was a kid was an issue of 'World's Finest' - it had a Neal Adams cover with Batman where he had turned into a bat, and he was attacking Superman.
Jason Aaron -
I didn't get into comics as a stepping stone.
