The breadth of the potential readership is also a factor.

For years I've wanted to work with this guy, so to actually write at the top of my scripts "Empress, Script by Mark Millar, Art by Stuart Immonen" is an absolute pleasure.

I don't see one as bring better or more literate than the other and there's a real buzz to not only writing about a character I love like Superman, but also writing something that kids can enjoy.

Writers are the most terrible kleptomaniacs.

The glass is always completely full-half air and half liquid.

All my kids love superheroes, but my middle daughter in particular is obsessed with Wonder Woman and Batgirl.

We ordinary people might lack your great speed or your X-Ray vision, Superman, but never underestimate the power of the human mind. We carry the most dangerous weapon on Earth inside these thick skulls of ours.
