Squadron Supreme #3



"There's a point where [Namor] sort of crossed over. His decisions in Jonathan Hickman's Avengers books have been so dark, duplicitous, and downright evil at times. Also, quite frankly, he was the guy who pulled the trigger on Doctor Spectrum's world and destroyed it. So there's a need for some kind of retribution." - James Robinson

Big Trouble in Little China #1




"I’m a huge John Carpenter fan. I’ve consumed all of his films, and Big Trouble was one of the formative movies of my youth. I don’t take much write-for-hire these days, unless I know I can knock it out of the park."

- Eric Powell

Batman: Odyssey, volume 2, #2



"If a T-rex could merely walk, its most abundant prey would have such an easy time evading T-rex, unless they too shambled along the way science used to think they did. Your and science’s refusal to consider a growing Earth dooms the dinosaurs to this gigantic shambling world of walking beasts. Only one factor need be changed to make it all make sense, a growing Earth. THEN, everything falls into place."

***

"Artists, animators, engineers and such know that T-rex ran. It’s not even a question. It’s one of those jokes that one day will be laughed about. EVERY SINGLE BIT OF T-REX’S ANATOMY SCREAMS A FAST RUNNING BEAST, Head to Achilles tendon to tail. Will experts in one area seek help from experts in other areas whose standards they decry...? No! Even if right? No!"

Secret Six #1

secretsix01cover

"Here’s the thing, the original Catman had a long history and most of it was as a cheap Batman knockoff who never accomplished anything. That made him a bit of a lovable loser, and I enjoyed that tremendously.

My thinking here is, what if Blake is actually the LEAST screwed-up person on the team? He’s a bit younger, a bit less history, but he’s been through an extraordinary ordeal and it’s left a crack in his armor a mile wide. It’s made him MORE dangerous.

Titan's Hunt #3 - #4

Dan Abnett: [T]hey aren't teenage sidekicks of classic heroes. Donna Troy, for instance, is an extremely interesting character because she really is a sort of vengeful Amazonian construct, a being of clay, and she's only really been an adversary of Wonder Woman so far. Garth is also at least a threat, if not an out-and-out villain.Read more... )
