Spider-Man Money

We announced last year that we were forming Millarworld Productions and would make 'American Jesus' as our first big theatrical feature, and I've been gradually getting the money together for that outside the US system. All my other books were getting bought and made, but this one, which I had huge affection for, was just never going to happen. Everyone was just too nervous about doing a Jesus movie, and I was like 'Are you kidding me?!?' Mel Gibson made a Jesus movie, and it made $650 million dollars. What's your concern? It made 'Spider-Man' money!

In Return You Want My Soul

Mephisto: I told you, our destinies are made up of the smallest brush strokes, the finest details. Some of those details I am not allowed to touch. But others can be touched, with the permissions of the one involved.
Where everyone else has failed, I can guarantee that I can and will save your aunt's life.
Spider-Man: And in return you want my soul, is that it?

To Deny Him

Have you thought for a second to ask yourselves why? Why I chose you two out of all people?
It's because yours is the rarest love of all.
Pure, unconditional and made holy in the eyes of He who I hate most.
A love like yours comes about but once in a millennia and to take that away from Him...
...to deny Him...
...is a victory like none other imaginable.

Part of Some Bigger Plan

Dr. Strange: Long ago, my hands were shattered in an accident, rendered useless for someone who wished to be a doctor, a surgeon, a healer.
I searched the world for someone who could fix them. My quest took me to the Himalayas, where I met the man who I would one day call Master.
He told me that there are limits to what even a sorcerer supreme can do. He could not fix my hands...but he could give me a purpose, and the chance to save lives.
Had he simply healed me, there would have been no one to stand between the forces of dark and light when intercession was most needed.
Spider-Man: If you're saying that her death is a part of some bigger plan, forget it.
