It’s a Knockout! (Yet, another niche reference just for my own enjoyment.)

I have already started posting Impulse's comic book, so I couldn’t leave out the rest of the Young Justice boys. (I will get to Robin’s book eventually.)

Probably the biggest problem I have as a creator is I've spent most of my career trying to re-create the Stan Lee/Jack Kirby comics that I loved SO much as a kid. I think in some ways it's held me back, and I think [artist David Hahn] has helped me pull out of that. -- Karl Kesel

numeronone“There is no such thing as a new idea. It is impossible. We simply take a lot of old ideas and put them into a sort of mental kaleidoscope. We give them a turn and they make new and curious combinations. We keep on turning and making new combinations indefinitely; but they are the same old pieces of colored glass that have been in use through all the ages.” - Mark Twain

Section Zero #4 - "A Long Time Dead"
Jan. 3rd, 2022 02:32 amlaughing_tree
18 years had (unbelievably!) passed for us, so 18 years had to have passed for the characters, too. With that in mind, I looked at what we had done, and wondered how to make that gap part of the story. The end result, if you ask me, is far better than what we would have done if we’d continued to work on SZ back in 2000. -- Karl Kesel
Almost two decades after issue 3, issue 4 of SECTION ZERO finally came out...
( 18 YEARS LATER... )

Imagine if Mulder was more like Indiana Jones, Scully was more like Doc Savage, and the Lone Gunmen were a Gray Alien, a sea monster, and a Bug-boy. And instead of walking through dark buildings with flashlights they crash through windows and kick down doors with cool Kirby guns and a mystic samurai sword. -- Karl Kesel

It’s basically “Jack Kirby does the X-Files.” So all those cool creatures and such, but with more punching and explosions. -- Karl Kesel

I noticed--about thirty years after the fact--that the [Fantastic Four] were a natural, creative outgrowth of the Challengers [of the Unknown]. And I thought, well, what if one actually did evolve into the other?" -- Karl Kesel

When I was taken off writing the first Harley Quinn book [in 2002], I wanted to do a storyline that would introduce a viable romantic interest for Harley who wasn’t the Joker. That character: Plastic Man. Didn’t get approved. I think the seeds for Impossible Jones were planted right there. -- Karl Kesel

Imaginative, intriguing, irreverent, irrepressible... you’d think comics this much fun would be impossible! -- Kurt Busiek

I honestly can’t recall the last time I met such an engaging new female lead. I have serious thoughts about bonking the creators with a mallet and stealing her. -- Gail Simone

I used to feel that same kind of thrill in superhero comics all the time. I’m a grown-up now, and comics have gotten pretty damn somber, occasionally even dreary. I still love them, I love what they are reaching for. But I miss that feeling that I was flying downhill and that no one had bothered to check if there was, you know, a way to stop. This book reminded me of that feeling. -- Gail Simone

One: I really missed writing Harley Quinn (I had written her first monthly series) and wanted to do more with an energetic, engaging, unpredictable female character. Two: I literally woke up one morning and knew how I’d do Plastic Man, given the chance. Plastic Man’s a thief who gets shot, falls in a vat of acid, gets powers, and wakes up and thinks “I should fight crime.” NO! When he wakes up he should say “I got powers? Great! Now I can get payback on the sonsabitches who left me for dead!” And that’s what Imp does— she goes after her old gang. But from the outside looking in, she’s going after criminals, so the natural assumption is she’s a superhero! -- Karl Kesel
