Medium Hopping

Mike Carey's take on the X-Men
We’re talking about genre hopping, but we also have medium or format hopping. We have authors such as Mike Carey and Dan Abnett writing comics. Jim Butcher wrote a Dresden Files comic. Neil Gaiman is writing screenplays. George R. R. Martin’s Game of Thrones and Charlaine Harris’ True Blood are connected to HBO.
Bill Willingham, a highly regarded comics writer, recently took his stab at writing comics. So comics writers are coming over to the traditional book format, too.
Dan, Paul and Jeff, have you ever had an itch to write comics? If you had the chance, would you adapt your own work, work with an estished brand name or try something totally different? If not, is there another medium in which you’d like to tell your tales? Would you tackle a screenplay for your own books?
