&lt;p&gt;While some comic writers and artists find inspiration in the past or the future or other artists or other genres, there are others that choose to jump platforms and find a muse in, say, television.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;span&gt;It was only recently that I figured out how much film critic Roger Ebert has influenced my work as a critic and writer. It wasn’t his passing last Thursday, although it was certainly a reminder. It was several months ago when I happened to go through an old stack of papers and found notes from my graduate thesis which was partially inspire by a review Roger Ebert wrote. You see, he and I shared one thing in common: we both love the Alex Proyas film &lt;/span&gt;&lt;em&gt;Dark City&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
