Tom Brevoort, Big gun at Marvel comics decided to let us bug him yet again for this edition of 5 Questions. Read on to find out such importent info on this modern man, such as his favorite comics and his favorite place to eat in NY, (Do NOT use this info to stalk Tom) So read on, enjoy, and remember you can follow Tom on Twitter, or just stick around here, we’ll probably bug him again soon.

#1 (NC) What are your top 5 comics right now?

(Tom) Wow, more difficult a question than it seems. These days, much of what
I’m following most avidly isn’t released on a monthly basis, but is more
things like Darwyn Cooke’s PARKER adaptation, or collections of classic
material such as Fantagraphics’ collection of E.C. Segar’s POPEYE. It’s
also difficult when you take all of the books that are under my purview
out of contention, since I’m an involved participant rather than simply
a reader. Limiting the scope a little bit, I (immodestly) think the five
best Marvel books right his second are DARK AVENGERS, INVINCIBLE IRON
MAN, ULTIMATE SPIDER-MAN, FANTASTIC FOUR, and AMAZING SPIDER-MAN
whenever Marcos Martin draws it. And CRIMINAL, which isn’t really a
Marvel book. I’m also quite in love with the STRANGE limited series that
Mark Waid and Emma Rios are doing for me.

#2 (NC) If you could be any superhero, who would you be and why?

(Tom) I think at this stage in my life, rather than a traditional super hero,
I’d probably opt to be something like Doctor Who. Less ostentatious, if
only just. And I like the romance of being able to go anywhere (and
never leave home).

#3 (NC) What up until this point, has been the most exciting thing about
doing what you do?

(Tom) Just being able to do what I do, I think. It’s something that a lot of
people would like to have the opportunity to do, and not only am I one
of the lucky few, but I’ve also been able to do it for now going on two
decades, and make a nice living at it.

#4 (NC) What’s your favorite place in New York to eat?

(Tom) Churrascaria Plataforma on 49th Street is a favorite, as is Hill Country
Barbecue on 26th Street. And I’m a sucker for Five Guys Burgers & Fries.

#5 (NC) What’s your favorite movie of all time?

(Tom) Hard to put my finger on just one. When asked this question, I typically
point to “Meet John Doe” by Frank Capra, which I saw for the first time
on Christmas Eve the year I moved to New York to start work at Marvel.
But depending on my mood, I might as easily answer “The Iron Giant”,
“Cagliostro Castle”, “Arrivederci Yamato”, “Back to the Future Part
Two,” “Grosse Point Blank” or  ”Superman: The Movie.”
