If the bribe didn't work, I'm pretty sure your magnetic personality and charisma would have done the trick

: PJ: When the miniseries began coming out,
: people started asking me about doing an
: ongoing. I like the character very much and
: think he's got some legs, so I'd like to do
: the ongoing series very much. I think there
: is plenty of stuff I can work with within
: the Marvel universe.
:
: RT: How'd you like working with John Romita?
:
: PJ: Johnny is really brilliant. We worked
: together on "The Hulk" before and
: he's such a really good "big"
: actiony storyteller. But people
: underestimate John's ability to tell a story
: in the small moments as well. People don't
: recognize that kind of thing, though. People
: react to John as a "big" artist.
: He's done Spider-Man and The Hulk, but here
: he is doing the Sentry and doing it
: wonderfully. People complain that it's going
: to be Johnny, but in the end, who else would
: it be?
:
: RT: Let's talk about Senty's role in
: "New Avengers." Are you happy with
: the way it's being integrated into the main
: story? And how did you like your cameo?
:
: PJ: I'm really happy with what Brian
: [Bendis] does, no matter what he's doing,
: because he's such a good writer. The cameo
: thing was funny. I almost gave myself a
: cameo in the last issue of the miniseries:
: The Void imagined there was a comic book
: writer living somewhere in Atlanta who was
: coming around and the Void was going to have
: to take care of it.
:
: The buzzword seems to be decompression these
: days. I didn't even know what it was until I
: started reading a few posts about it, but
: apparently he does it and I do it.
:
: If you think "The Sentry" is
: decompressed, you are crazy! We put tons of
: new concepts every time you turn the page.
: Brian might disagree but he's doing some
: really solid stuff without decompression
: over on "New Avengers."
:
: If readers want it any quicker, it would be
: like a fast food restaurant.
:
: RT: I think a lot of it is that fans mistake
: decompression for characterization: They
: think the writer is just being lazy and
: writing pages of dialogue when it's actually
: essential to the story.
:
: PJ: Oh my God, yes! But doing pages of
: dialogue is really hard! You have to be
: pretty bold to do a story where people just
: walk through a mall and talk to set up the
: action stuff that comes up later.
