I've read several books that you've worked on and created and I've noticed you have a penchant for more "fringe" or "darker" characters on the whole and that you really shine when you're writing for underdogs or characters that aren't as a-list/Hollywood/b

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


I appreciate it…I do like the morally murky characters, but I have to say, I had an absolute blast writing Superman and Wonder Woman.


Every book has its own core, it's own center. I don't feel it's my job to impose my voice on it so much as to find a way that I can bring that core out, that central bit of wonder, that most books have in them somewhere. With the Six, the core is that they are people who don't fit in anywhere, no one else wants them.  With Wonder Woman, it really is about love. I like writing both. I think I'd get bored writing just one type of story forever.


That said, I AM really missing writing a team book. This is the first time in many years, I think, that I haven't been writing a team book of some kind.


So, I guess if I had a choice, I'd pick something as far away from Batgirl as possible, simply for variety, and I'd want it to have lots of voices.
