I have a question that about an aspect of comics that seems to be over looked, religion. Mainly why religion seems wholly unaffected by the fact that in that universe literal pagen gods are roaming the planet. The fact the wonder Woman proves the greek pan

I don’t want to speak for that character or that writer but I don’t imagine this is a conflict in any way. And why single out Kamala? What about every Christian who believes in a Christian god in a world where Odin exists?

My feeling is they would probably think of Norse gods as godLY or godLIKE, but not their actual GOD, if that makes sense.  I think this is an interesting thing to explore, is it possible to still be an atheist in a world where the Spectre exists. And my feeling is that people don’t decide matters of faith based on evidence exclusively and never have. I don’t think these things would change much.

You know I really do find it weird that DC comics have been cranking up on diversity yet they still haven't brought back Cassandra Cain(first Asian superhero to lead a comic, has a disability, dyslexia, longest running Batgirl and PoC character series, a m

I don’t know the full reason why Cassandra hasn’t appeared. I have asked to use her multiple times, I have pitched books with her, I have built story pitches around her. I don’t know the story. I know Scott Snyder has done the same. 

I am hoping it’s because they have plans for her, that could be the case, but I don’t really know. I’m sorry, I have tried LOTS.

If you ever decided to do a book signing in Eugene, Oregon, I would be there in a hot second. And I know quite a few of my friends would too :)

I just did one at DragonVine Comics a few months ago! 

Eugene is the closest town to where I live. I went to UofO and my son goes there now. I’m there all the time. :)
