I'm really happy about Storm, but I'm interested to know how you feel about all these solo female series being handled by male writers? You mentioned you were asked to write She Hulk, which I'm really pleased happened. I'm just frustrated that there are so

I feel a bunch of complicated things that don’t completely add up, actually.

Yes, I would love to see Storm written by a great female writer. But I am also pretty close to equally happy to see her written by a great writer at all, simply because she is one of the most recognizable female superheroes in all fiction, certainly one of the most noted WOC heroines, she means a lot to so many people and she’s never had an ongoing series of her own.

Plus, I love her, and I love Greg Pak’s writing.  So I am too happy to be upset, I guess?

Also, I have to give Marvel credit, they have been doing some major launches with female characters written by talented women, like Captain Marvel and Ms. Marvel, and that’s after having had a few really good female lead books written by female writers that DIDN’T make it. So I have to give them solid credit for not throwing up their hands and saying, “female lead comics and female lead writers don’t sell.”

It’s a big change from even a few years ago. I like that they are putting top people on these books. It is a hopeful sign. I still want to have more female creators on ALL types of books, I think that is long overdue and a big, necessary step to comics staying viable.

Dissenting viewpoints, anyone?  Maybe I’m missing something.
