Author Details
Ambrose Tardive is a writer, editor, and life-long comic book reader. He earned his MFA from Randolph College and has published several short stories. As the lyricist for his high school punk band, he was referencing Doctor Manhattan way before it was cool.
Industry Focus
Ambrose picked his first comic book off the rack at 7-11 at age nine. Since then, he has written extensively about comic books, with a strong emphasis on independent titles. He believes that, as author Alan Moore recently said, "the medium can do anythig."
Favorite Media
Some of Ambrose's favorite comic books include Grant Morrison's New X-Men, Alan Moore's Swamp Thing run and V for Vendetta, Star Wars Tales, Brian Azzarello's 100 Bullets, Brian K. Vaughn's Ex Machina, and Frank Miller's RoboCop Versus The Terminator, which should totally be adapted.
