“This is a pop book,” Morrison wrote, “as essential as the new Eminem release or the latest Keanu movie. We can rejoin the culture here and the only way to do it is to drop ’80s and ’90s notions of who our audience should be. The only way to get back in there is to deliver the stuff the movies and the games can’t. And what the mainstream audience wants from us (and I’ve asked a lot of ’em) is raw imagination, ready-made characters, outrageous spectacle, storming angst and emotional drama. Beautiful people with incredible powers doing startling, diverting things!”

All Mattel required of Marvel was that a big-event comic be launched to coincide with the toy line—and that the comic carry the title of Secret Wars, which, according to its market research, were two words that made kids go wild.

Hi Jamie. Thank you for friending me on Goodreads. It's so nice to meet you.
Hi, Jamie. I just finished reading your book in Indonesian translate. And I love it. It's so sweet yet sad.

Hi Jamie...I just finished reading Hotel on the Corner of Bitter and Sweet and I loved it!
Thanks for the add, Jamie. I feel all warm and fuzzy now :).
Thanks for the add, Jamie. I look forward to reading your book in 2011. All best wishes, Lisette
Just got my paperback of Hotel On the Corner . . Yay.
Wow! You have that many people where you live? We have about 200 people here, if that. If the rabbits joined together and raised a small army they could easily take over the village.
