Jesus, Man. Why Do People Want To

At The Moment, I Have It Planned As A Six Or Seven Year Experiment, But The Books Will Only Ever Appear In Bursts Like This Every Couple Of Years And Only With The Best Quality Artists.

Even When I Was A Little Boy, When I Was Seven, I Absolutely Loved Wonder Woman, And I Saw Her As One Of The Superhero Greats With Superman And Batman, And I Think It's Because She Was Her Own Thing. She Always Felt Like The Real Deal The Same Way That Superman And Batman Did. Whereas The She-hulks And Spider-women And All That Kind Of Thing Felt Like A Continuation Of A Concept.

The Books Are All Very, Very Different So The Publishers Really Had To Be Different Too.

The Success [of The X-men], I Think, Is For Two Reasons. The First Is That, Creatively, The Book Was Close To Perfect ... But The Other Reason Is That It Was A Book About Being Different In A Culture Where, For The First Time In The West, Being Different Wasn't Just Accepted, But Was Also Fashionable. I Don't Think It's A Coincidence That Gay Rights, Black Rights, The Empowerment Of Women And Political Correctness All Happened Over Those Twenty Years And A Book About Outsiders Trying To Be Accepted Was Almost The Poster-boy For This Era In American Culture.

If I'm Creating A New Superhero, It Shouldn't Be Any Different From Other Superheroes In Terms Of The Qualities. Obviously The Personality Can Be Different. I Think Traditionally In Comics Women Have Tended To Be A Girlfriend Or The Daughter Of Whoever, Whether It's Even Batgirl As Gordon's Daughter, Or Whatever. There Is That Relation Of The Hero, You Know, Like Superman's Cousin, Supergirl. And That's Great. It's Fantastic To Have A Link To These Amazing Characters, But I Kind Of Like The Idea Of Things Being Something In Their Own Right, Which Is Why I've Always Loved Wonder Woman.
