When Stan Lee did the first Spider-Man book, it was like he was talking directly to the reader and saying, “You may find Spider-Man a little bit corny, but stick with it.” I was kind of into that whole idea of the comic book talking to the reader and establishing this relationship, and then weaponizing that relationship and making it quite dark and fucked up. Multiversity is kind of about that, the ideas that we allow into our heads. We protect our money behind safes, we protect our security behind the Pentagon, behind giant walls. But we allow any kind of idea through our skulls into these private spaces. I wanted to write about that—why do we allow such intimate invasion?
