Midnighter #5

[laughing_tree]

"Confidence. To me there is no more succinct definition of the character, and it’s what, in my opinion, sets him apart from a lot of other characters that on the surface may seem similar. Midnighter is 100% aware of who and what he is. He’s come to terms with it, and he understands it, and he loves it." -- Steve Orlando

Doctor Strange #1 - "The Way of the Weird"

[laughing_tree]

"Coming into this, we talk about Doctor Strange being the linchpin book for this very unique corner of the Marvel Universe. If you look at what Guardians Of The Galaxy has become and how that has opened the door to space and the cosmic side of the universe, that’s what we want this to be for the magic." -- Jason Aaron

James Bond 1

[espanolbot]

Your Bond leans closer to Fleming’s classic interpretation of the character—a character very deliberately of his own time. What was it like taking that character—with ideals and manners that might be seen as dated today, such as Bond’s approach to women—and bringing him into the 21st Century?

Ellis: As I say—different baseline. He’s not a fossil. You have to bring him forward into the modern day without altering his personality. His mores and ethics in the books are formed by the times—you can alter those simply by stating, well, he wasn’t born before World War 2, so why would they be the same? His core personality, though—the callousness, the vengefulness, the misanthropy—can stay the same. And I do tend to think of it as misanthropy rather than misogyny. Yes, certainly, Bond expresses misogyny in the books and the films, but it’s also worth noting that in the books he has one single friend. One. I don’t think it’s softening or dismissing his misogyny to state that Bond in fact hates almost all people. He has specific issues with women, but he has specific issues with almost everybody.

That said: moving the timeline forward, even Bond, as an “ordinary man” as expressed by Fleming, can work with women and people of color without blatantly frothing at the mouth. Still doesn’t make him a nice guy. Just a product of his time and society, just as Fleming’s Bond was a product of his. Does that make sense?

"I always saw us creating a new universe with this book, that goes from the distant past to the far future. It's a whole universe with eons of unwritten history. I want to explore and create and plant flags in the dark unexplored corners of this universe. I live for that." -- Tom Scioli
