	Interviewing Brian K. Vaughan and Predicting the Future
		Brian K Vaughan: I've said it before and I'll say it again, I think most of the credit for Y's success belongs to penciller and co-creator Pia Guerra.
		Vaughan: Well, I started thinking about Y and doing research for the book about two years before I ever turned in the first script, but the idea's probably been percolating in the back of mind since third grade, when I realized that I could get that cute redhead to fall in love with me...
		Vaughan was able to complete this short interview on top of his full plate of scripting projects, and I would encourage everyone to give them all a read.

	AfterEllen.com - Interview with Brian K. Vaughan
		Brian Vaughan: I was born in Cleveland in 1976.
		Recently Brian was kind enough to take time out of his busy schedule and answer some questions about his life as a comic book creator, as well as his feelings about GLBT representation in comics.
		Considering the recent rush of badly perceived representation of lesbian and gay images of TV and film recently, it’s nice to know that some people out there are getting it right.

	Inlibris Bookstore - Runaways, Vol. 1 by Brian K Vaughan, Adrian Alphona, Takeshi Miyazawa
		by Brian K Vaughan, Adrian Alphona, Takeshi Miyazawa
		1 by Brian K Vaughan, Adrian Alphona, Takeshi Miyazawa
		The book, written by Brian K. Vaughan (one of Marvel's current "hot" artists), is not as mindblowing as many fans would have you believe -- there are numerous graphic novels that have more depth -- but it is a good, fun read.

	The SF Site Featured Review: Ex Machina: The First Hundred Days
		Brian K. Vaughan was born in 1976 in Cleveland, Ohio.
		Vaughan offers an intriguing look not only in the life of a would-be superhero, but in the dizzying and seemingly contradictory nature of public office.
		Rather than simply bombarding the reader with an overly complex plot, Vaughan carefully presents the story through a series of flash-backs, inner narratives, and brilliantly crafted present-tense scenes.

	Brian K. Vaughan on Runaways Season 2 - The Superhero Hype! Boards
		That said, Vaughan said he plans to keep Runaways as it was the first time around, with a key piece of the accessibility of the series being that, while it is set in the Marvel Universe, it’s not continuity heavy.
		Vaughan stressed that the relaunch isn’t just about making a small number of fans happy — Marvel sees potential, has the evidence it needs to feel that another go will be successful, and therefore, is moving forward.
		In restarting with a new #1, Vaughan is acutely aware of both the unique opportunity the series has, as well as the eyes on him and the book’s team to make this go of it a success.

	Bookshelf Comics Review: Runaways Vol. 1 Hardcover
		For Runaways, writer Brian K. Vaughan realized that at some point, all kids think their parents are evil.
		Vaughan throws this question into the realm of superheroes and runs with it.
		But while this is pretty heavy stuff to bear, Vaughan throws in some levity with a witty retort or a perfectly timed pop culture reference.

	RPGnet: Review of Runaways Vol. 1: Pride & Joy (Printable Version)
		Brian K. Vaughan has already proven himself a strong storyteller in his acclaimed series, Y: The Last Man.
		Vaughan isn't putting out this book just to pay the bills; instead he's putting in clear effort here to produce a comic that's more than just standard super-hero fare.
		Finally, I really appreciate how Vaughan is looking at the standard super-hero genre from a surprising angle--not just the villain's viewpoint, but the viewpoint of the kids of villains.

	Salt Lake City Weekly - Political Machine
		Brian K. Vaughan (Runaways, Y: the Last Man) has been top notch on just about everything he writes, and Ex Machina is no different.
		Brian K. Vaughan and Tony Harris explore that notion with Ex Machina, and take a hard look at New York in the process.
		Vaughanâs storytelling technique jumps back and forth in Hundredâs life, showing with amazing clarity how much thought has gone into these stories; this is clearly a title with a plan.

	Welcome to Hero Realm
		Brian K Vaughan’s Runaways was a critical success from the first issue, but it took time to build up a strong following, first on the series and later through the popularity of the digest editions.
		Brian K Vaughan sat down to talk about the book, its fans and what is new and different this time around.
		When the first volume of the series ended last year Vaughan promised the book would return with a second series and in February Marvel Comics will premier the second volume of Runaways.

	NEWSARAMA.COM – AN ULTIMATE FIFTH - BRIAN K. VAUGHAN ON ULTIMATE X-MEN
		BKV: Nah, accessibility is always a goal with the Ultimate books, but I’m worried about all new readers, whether they’re familiar with the X-Men from the movies, the cartoons, the video games, or even if this is their first exposure to the characters. The comic is its own thing.
		BKV: To be fair, I was actually the fourth writer on the title, as Chuck Austen wrote two issues a while back. I know it’s fashionable to knock Austen’s stuff, but I thought his two-part Gambit story was really, really good. One of the better stories starring that character, I’d say.
		BKV: They dated shortly before Scott joined the X-Men. And yeah, Lorna was able to control her powers back then better than she can now, it seems.

	WHEDONesque : Comments on 4275 : Interview with comic writer Brian K. Vaughan.
		Brian Vaughan is one of my favorite writers, and in my (admittedly somewhat limited) experience he's a genuinely friendly person at that.
		Vaughan gives props to the fact that Buffy and Angel supply cliffhangers on every commercial break, and says Firefly is the best thing Joss has done.
		Everything that I have read from Vaughan has been jaw-droppingly good.

	COMICON.com: SPOTLIGHT ON BRIAN K. VAUGHAN FROM SDCC
		Brian K. Vaughan was on a panel moderated by THE BEAT’s Heidi MacDonald at this year’s San Diego Comic Con.
		Runaways is ace, all of Brian K vaughnns stuff is great, especially his short 3 issue fill-in on Batman (589-591 I think, I am sure I have pimped that series on here before).
		BKV said that, just to do some name-dropping, he had lunch with novelist Michael Chabon and has signed on to do an Escapist story about a comic writer trying to escape Vaughan's hometown of Cleveland.

	Sequential Tart: Brian K. Vaughan - This Ain't Your Parents' Swamp Thing! (vol III/iss 4/April 2000)
		Brian K. Vaughan's luckiest break for his comic career came when he 'forgot' his homework.
		BKV: When it came time for my final project, a story I'd been preparing for months, I went from a film shoot in Long Island, into the city and made it to class just in time...
		BKV: Well, I loved Roger Stern's run on Spidey when I was a kid, but it was Watchmen that really inspired me to be a comic writer.

	Brian K. Vaughan The A.V. Club
		Brian K. Vaughan: They used to be a lot more visual, but the longer I've been writing, the more I find that you have to give the artist more leeway or else you'll just be disappointed.
		Born in Cleveland and educated at NYU's film school, Brian K. Vaughan has been kicking around in comics since the late '90s, but over the past few years, he's emerged as one of the field's dominant voices for readers who value well-developed characters, thought-provoking plots, and social commentary.
		Vaughan's other series include Runaways, about a group of teens who flee home when they learn their parents are supervillains; it shares space on the Marvel shelves with Vaughan's ongoing run on Ultimate X-Men.

	Ultimate X-Men #46 Review - Silver Bullet Comics
		Brian K. Vaughan is one of my favourite writers so I was delighted to hear he was coming on board this series for an arc.
		There's also some cute little moments that nicely display Brian K. Vaughan's sense of humour, as one has to smile at the reaction that our guest mutant has to the invitation to join Xavier's school, as this is exactly the crass response that made this his Marvel counterpart into one of my personal favourites.
		The real selling point of Brian K. Vaughan's writing is his ability to deliver killer cliff-hangers and this issue is no exception as we get a great moment to carry us into the next issue.

	Brian K. Vaughan - Wikiquote
		Brian K. Vaughan (born 1976 in Cleveland, Ohio) is the Eisner and Harvey Award-nominated co-creator of many critically acclaimed comic books.
		I'm the one who started spreading that particular factoid, about Bendis, Azz and me all being bald Brian's from Cleveland, just to get my name mentioned in the same sentence as two much-better writers, and it's worked like a goddamn charm.
		I think it was born out of that grade school fantasy that a lot of nerds like me had, which was "I could probably get the cute red-headed girl that sits across from me, if only every other boy in the entire school dies."

	Ex Machina: The First Hundred Days - Brian K Vaughan, Tony Harris, Tom Feister - Graphic novel review
		Words by Brian K Vaughan - Art by Tony Harris, Tom Feister - Published by DC Comics (US), Titan Books (UK) - First published 2005 - Originally published as Ex Machina 1-5
		Vaughan delivers most of this history through flashback, keeping the pace of the action of Hundred's heroic past tempered with the slower-paced political issues of the present.
		While his special abilities remain in place, the jet pack's replaced with a suit and tie, and the city of New York gets a bona fide politician in office.

	Amazon.com: Ex Machina Vol. 2: Tag (Ex Machina): Books: Brian K. Vaughan,Tony Harris
		Vaughan's views on politics and then add in some hints about where his powers came from and the crazed maniac killer butchering people in the subways, man, this book is good!
		The dialogue sparkles, the art beautifully conveys both Vaughan's horror and his humor, and the plot twists will have readers on the edge of their seats.
		Vaughan's writing is tight and fun and revolting and inspiring and, man, this book is good!

	JC Steinbrunner Ex Machina book by Brian K. Vaughan
		"Ex Machina," published by Wildstorm, is the newest series under the belt of one of my oldest and dearest friends, Brian Vaughan, a bright and rising star in the firmament of graphic novels and comic books.
		Brian's writing is as snappy and engaging as ever with this series.
		A former writer of "Swamp Thing" and creator of "Y: The Last Man," Vaughan's storytelling sits astride that cusp of wide-eyed wonderment as it pours into the roiling pool of adult concerns.

		Brian Vaughan stepped in recently to fill the gap between Bendis and Singer and hit the ball way out of the park.
		Vaughan is at the cusp of becoming one of the 10-best writers in comics and it’s time you took notice of his talents.
		Vaughan’s take on the X-Men was outstanding and showed off his talent for extraordinarily tight plots.

	The Continuity Pages: Y: The Last Man
		Y: The Last Man and related characters and art are copyrighted by Brian K. Vaughan and Pia Guerra.
		Many proclaimed Vaughan the next big writer to come out of Vertigo, known as a training ground for many of the best writers of the (almost) decade prior.
		Although the series sold at Vertigo levels, generally on the low end of the spectrum of mainstream comic book sales, DC could not keep up with demands for reprints of the sold-out early issues.

	Portland Mercury - Books - Brian K. Vaughan
		Again, it's hard to argue: In addition to Vaughan, the skilled (and Portland-based) Brian Michael Bendis is writing a slew of acclaimed Marvel titles, while Buffy creator Joss Whedon is revolutionizing the Astonishing X-Men.
		"But I like writing stuff more that sticks with you after you close the book, that makes you look at your world in a different way." Vaughan also takes advantage of the fact that comics are in a unique position to handle relevant themes.
		Vaughan's also just finished Pride of Baghdad, to be released later this year.

	Morphizm.com -- Hungry For Heroes: An Interview with Brian K. Vaughan, Ex Machina
		Brian Vaughan: I was a film and dramatic writing major at NYU, and had an interest in comics but no real idea about how to break into the industry.
		Brian Vaughan's recent comics like Ex Machina and Y: The Last Man stick out like sore thumbs.
		They're filled with characters whose minds are filled with ideas, and who spend the majority of page time talking about them.

		BKV: I just signed up for at least one more arc after the Gambit storyline, a story involving a character you probably never expected to see "ultimized," with one of the best artists working today.
		You heard it here first, BKV is sticking around after Gambit arc for one more arc, at least, and it's with another artist.
		Oh yea, and he gave news to us [well, kinda news] before any of the other places have had it up, probably cause it won't be released for a little while yet.

	Comic Book Resources - CBR News - The Comic Wire
		Actually, it's the new DC Comics/Wildstorm series "Ex Machina," a creator owned project from writer Brian K Vaughan and artist Tony Harris, which details the exploits of the world's first superhero and first superhero politician.
		On "Y- The Last Man," Vaughan works with talented Canadian artist Pia Guerra, and the bald scribe says his experience with Harris thus far on "Ex Machina" is similar.
		Since the series is set in an entirely new universe, Vaughan would seem to have had a multitude of options for where to take the book- from Vertigo to Image Comics- but he says there's a good reason why Wildstorm is the only home for this book.
