Moon hype

Entertainment Weekly has an interview up on their website with Charlie Huston, writer of the new Moon Knight series for Marvel:

How'd you learn the craft of comics scriptwriting?
Axel Alonso, who's editing the series, sent me sample scripts — specifically, he sent me Garth Ennis' script for Ghost Rider, thinking that it would good, because (a) Garth is a great writer, and (b) it was a situation where they took an old character and tried to reintroduce him to new audiences. Some writers will be specific about how they want a page to be paneled — they'll write into the script, ''Panel one: horizontal, spanning both pages...'' I've got no sense for that; in my mind every page is a grid. David Finch has a real gift for that, and the way he's arranged the art on the page is all him. It strengthens the storytelling in ways I couldn't have thought of.
