October 19, 2012: Exclusive Interview with Bryan Q. Miller on "Smallville: Season 11"
By Marc PritchardIn this exclusive interview with the Superman Homepage, writer Bryan Q. Miller talks to us about writing the "Smallville: Season 11" comic book.
- Q: How much collaboration goes on between you and the artists in terms of story, breakdowns, etc.?
Brian: There's naturally lots of design work and back and forth on art in general, but as far as story goes, I try to give the artist as thorough a blueprint for the page as possible. Very detailed scripts. It's the TV writer in me - when an episode is being produced, you always walk through every inch of the script with every department to make sure the vision for the script is maintained.
Q: How well do you feel the book has succeeded in terms of staying true to how the show was written?
Brian: In spots, pretty true. In other spots, I can get a little lost in banter and chatter. Believe me, I ALWAYS have to cut a ton of off-point or irrelevant conversation before I turn in a script. So it's not as "me" as it COULD be. Process-wise, I absolutely still approach every story like we did on the show. I write the outline the same, and even write the scripts in the same way - then I rewrite them to fit comic format.
