"I love Amanda Waller, AKA The Wall, the supreme Security State bureaucrat of the DC Comics universe, especially when she's written by John Ostrander and Greg Rucka (and, in her cartoon form, by Dwayne McDuffie). The mission of WALLER VS. WILDSTORM has always been to propose a backstory for her—that is, to explain how the character got to the point where those great writers and their great collaborators told the great Amanda Waller stories that they told. (Although, to be clear, we are an out-of-continuity miniseries.) An early tagline we batted around for the book, if only in our internal discussions, was Build That Wall."

Waller vs Wildstorm #1: "Book One"
Mar. 28th, 2023 07:15 pmalliterator
"One of the things about WildStorm's history of these themes of untrustworthy governments, untrustworthy corporations, untrustworthy security figures, is that they haven't quite had an encounter with a Lois Lane figure. Putting someone like Lois particularly at an early stage of her career — before we know her as the Lois we know from Superman and the rest of the DCU — it gives a unique opportunity for a flashback year one story to show how this character and several others hone themselves through this early crucible."

The Wild Storm #24 [series finale]

Oh, I am so sick of the nine-panel grid. I want to just find 2016 me and just kick him in the nuts. 24 issues of grids. What was I thinking? I know what I was thinking. I wanted The Wild Storm, the book, to feel completely, completely different from the Wildstorm work at Image in the early 90s because that stuff back then was the most technically accomplished commercial comics in the world. They were the best printed, the best colored, to the point where that is actually really hard to top on a technical production level. So I went the other way. I took it back to the simplest, earliest comics, which are gridwork. And the color work is all watercolor as opposed to CGI shade. And we're on a matte paper stock. We wanted a matte stock for the cover but we couldn't manage it. We simplified instead of complexified. Which seemed like a really good idea at the time but I'm 19 issues in and I never want to see another grid. Never. -- Warren Ellis
