Is this what we can expect more going forward, with Nick giving you guys more leeway in terms of violence?

Nothing has changed internally-- we've had the same standards since after the first year, when things were a bit more closely monitored in terms of violence. I think both Tom and I have no interest in violence and gore for the sake of it in this book. But when the time is right, we'll let loose. If we had scenes of violence like in #67 all the time, we wouldn't have that nice element of surprise/shock for the moments that deserve it.
