Black Canary: Best of the Best #2 - "Round Two"

[laughing_tree]

I always want to hide myself in my stories. I never set out to tell a personal story, I always think, "Oh, this is going to be a nice little fiction." And then I look back and I was like, "Oh no, this was all scraping my own heart and soul out." But legacy is important. My father wanted to be a novelist and never achieved that goal; wanted to be a writer in Hollywood, never achieved that goal. And my mother was a studio executive who was very much — they were very, very divorced, I would say would be a way to qualify them. Because he didn’t succeed in his business, my father couldn’t support his family, and had to disappear from my life. And so my mother was very much like, "You can’t go into the creative arts, because I’ve seen that tear a man apart." And then I’ve somehow found myself entirely ensconced in creative arts. So I feel that pain of the legacy of your parents, and how it shapes you, and how you run from it, and then you end up just running around a track to where you started. -- Tom King

Metamorpho: The Element Man #1 - "Mister 3, the Triple-State Man!"

[laughing_tree]

Something I tried to do in 2023 and carried over to 2024 was build on previous successes, but now I'm wondering if that was a trap - if all the critical and commercial success I've had in my life just built a cage for my future self made of the expectations of readers and employers. What if I cared less about hitting previous highs again - or what others rate as the highs - and more about just being happy in myself and in my work? What would that look like? Well, it'd probably look like METAMORPHO... -- Al Ewing
