Goodreads asked Gene Luen Yang:

How do you deal with writer’s block?

Gene Luen Yang 1) Take walks
2) Drink coffee
3) Force myself to write garbage. Usually the decent stuff will come after the garbage is out of my system.

Which story of "Avatar: the last airbender" you have written do you enjoy most?

Ethan Davis
Ethan Davis asked Gene Luen Yang:

Can you explain the process of collaborating with someone else on a graphic novel? For instance, how much of the story do you have written before the illustrator begins?

(Jen) The Artist Librarian
(Jen) The Artist Librarian asked Gene Luen Yang:

I recently began reading some of your original work. I really enjoyed "The Shadow Hero" and the intriguing history behind it. Are you planning to continue to write more stories with these characters? Also, have you ever thought of creating a contemporary Asian American superhero (or do you have any favorites that you'd recommend)? Thanks so much - I love your Avatar comics, I could easily see them as episodes.
