Detective Chimp! I unexpectedly loved writing him in Endless Winter.

Man, a Lantern Chimp story is something I never considered, but suddenly really want.

Honestly, some characters click for me as a writer more than others. But the job is to find a way to connect with any character you get a chance to write. So you have to find your way “in” for each character, how they work best for you. So that’s a different answer to every writer.

Hmm. Can I say ice cream instead? Or mochi?

“Emerald Twilight” is pretty much what I intended. I was given an outline of story beats by editorial, and then left to my own devices to exectute the story. So to great extent, I told the story that editorial asked me to tell, in the way that I wanted to tell it.

Mr. Marz, one of the burning questions in every AMA / Q&A I’ve been in is “Who would win in a wizard battle between Grant Morrison and Alan Moore?”
Do you have any insight? Thank you for being here today! There are no wrong answers!

The ultimate decision belonged to DC editorial, because stories with those ramifications are not just the product of creators. The decision was made to Hal into an antagonist, and I was hired to tell that story in the way I wanted to tell it. Darryl Banks is the one who came up with the name Parallax, which was PERFECT. Yay, Darryl!

Well, I LOVE them both, so that’s a similarity. Superman is very much the original, iconic archetype. He is who we aspire to be. He’s not one of us, but he’s the best of us. Kyle is the Everyman archetype, like Spider-Man. Kyle is US, he is who we would be if we got the power ring.

This checks out, Alan Moore does have more hair than Grant Morrison. His jewelry game is also on point.

Thank YOU for being here! I’m glad we can do thing like this, and still have a sense of community, even through we’re separated. That sense of community is one of the things that makes comics special.

So, who haven’t you had the opportunity to work with as an artist or fellow writer, that you would love to work with.

I think Parallax was certainly the most well-known. Effigy was created to very much be a nemesis for Kyle, kind of the dark mirror image of Kyle – someone given power who goes bad. We tried to slip Effigy into Endless Winter, but there just wasn’t room.

I enjoy the vast majority of characters I’ve had the chance to write, but if I have to pick on just one … it’s Superman.

That would have been amazing to see in one of the most fun crossover events in recent memory.
