Will Salmon
I've written about comics, film, TV, and music for more than 15 years now. Consequently, I sometimes feel old and withered like Guy Pearce in Prometheus. I launched the late, lamented scary movie magazine Horrorville and the second run of Comic Heroes for Future. I've written about film and TV for every issue of SFX for over a decade, where I can usually be found covering stuff that's either arty and weird or made on a budget of about £10. As Comics Editor of GamesRadar/Newsarama I'm covering comics of every genre, from superheroes to the aforementioned arty/weird stuff. My favourite writer is Grant Morrison and my favourite artist is Frank Quitely, so I'm sure you can all guess what my best ever superhero book is.
