After reading issue 11 of Aquaman, ||I am really curious about Superman saying his island blew up. Does this imply that the entire DC universe is connected by oceans instead of space? Instead of flying through the depths of space does Brainiac sail the large ocean? Thank you for doing this QnA, and all of the creativity you put into your work. ||

What’s your opinion on Talia al Ghul? She’s been portrayed inconsistently over the years, and I wonder if DC will ever give her a truly consistent storyline. Many fans still reference stories like Lost Days or Morrison’s take on her relationship with Batman as canon, even though they’ve been retconned or aren’t acknowledged by later writers. Even googling ‘Talia al Ghul’ brings up these stories as if they’re canon, which can mislead casual readers. Do you see her character ever having a consistent story, with DC formally acknowledging which parts have been retconned? I just hate that outdated stories are often the first thing people see

vivid valley
If you were to write for Marvel instead of DC, what character would you want to work on?
velvet fable
issue 12 of yo-ho-hold came out today and despite it technically being a slower issue, i think it’s my favorite yet! im really enjoying the worldbuilding with the cast, the new adventure the trio is in, and what we are seeing of atlantis. i have two questions from this: are you being inspired by the 90s series of aquaman? im seeing a lot of similarities in characterization that excite me!
also, are we going to be seeing more of the politics within atlantis? as characters start to go behind each other’s backs, im intrigued by the drama that could be coming. thanks!
oh also, is there any particular difference in writing for the GO! format as opposed to standard comics, and how have you adapted to that? what drew you to creating for this type of content?
