[BEGIN COMMENTARY] I’ve never actually developed a comics rivalry. Mostly I just hate everybody who’s better than me at comics, which is a lot of people. I think they need to return that hatred for a true rivalry to happen, but I don’t think the Better Comics People are aware of my existence, so here we are.
