Writer Brian Wood keeps busy. The "Demo" creator has "The Massive" and "Mara" scratching his creator-owned itch at Dark Horse and Image respectively, while he's dipping his toe into superhero comics with a stint on "Uncanny X-Men" (something it seems like he's still trying to wrap his mind around), plus he's got a "Conan the Barbarian" miniseries with his "Demo" collaborator Becky Cloonan and bringing the original trilogy "Star Wars" to life in a new series.
I got a couple of minutes with Wood during Emerald City Comic-Con to talk about why he's not bothered by the expanded universe, the love of Conan's life, and sex, athletics, and superheroes.

The creator of "30 Days of Night" and "Criminal Macabre" was wary about trying to make a monster story out of the golem. The many different stories about golems (there doesn't seem to be one key golem myth) are often about giving life to a lump of clay and seeing what happens, strange tales tied up in faith, alchemic science, and mysticism. "I've done my take on the Frankenstein myth, on Dracula, vampire, and werewolves, and the golem is always one that seemed really hard to tackle," Niles recently told me by phone "Because it was always so firmly entrenched in Jewish mysticism, it seemed like a hard thing to tell a straight monster from."
But even after getting several short stories about the creature out of his system, Niles couldn't quite exorcise the golem from his mind, ultimately teaming up with artist Dave Wachter ("The Hell-Bound Train") to bring to life his WWII-set miniseries about Jews enlisting the aid of the creature to protect them from the Nazis.
