Thanks for answering questions. Are there any characters that you would absolutely not want to write? Any characters that just don't interest you, and why?

*****************

I used to think so…but there's a weird thing about writing in the DC and Marvel universes. You end up finding something to love about the characters after you get to write them. I wasn't a HUGE Bane fan, not really, until I got to sit down and reread some stuff, and see another side of him. Same with J'onn, I was just never a fan. Then you write them, you eventually see why people dig them.

I'm not a big fan of Metamorpho, or Iron Man, I don't care for Ant Man, there are a few like that, but now I know if I DID write them, likely I would gain an appreciation for them, it's just what happens time and again.

I talked with Matt Fraction about this—he said he was asked to do Thor and turned it down, he just didn't have a take. Then he saw a Jack Kirby illustration (I think it was Kirby) and the whole Thor myth hit him right in the face, suddenly. He got it. That's what happens…if you DON'T experience that at some point, you're in trouble!
