I don't necessarily write everything as automatically assuming it will be collected, there's nothing that says Hitman will be collected, though it might be.

Hitman does well and it certainly does well enough to survive, but at the same time I don't want to involve the character into the DC Universe even if it meant more sales, to the point where we sort of upset the balance that we have at the moment.

As the scripts come in they are sent to the artists, and the artists are either very busy, or ready to start.

I guess you can stay sort of true to the story; you don't have to artificially bring the character back from whatever doom you've designed for them, you can tell the story, I suppose, honestly.

Yeah, Hitman I suppose is most of the time a lighter read than Preacher; it was always going to be.

I tend to forget what I'm doing will ever be read while I'm writing it, and just get on with the task at hand.

There's immense fun to be had as long as you can sort of sneak it past DC. I have been told on occasion that I need to have more respect for these characters.
