Likewise, I see no shame in writing Captain America or Wolverine.

I always think it's a mistake when you actually have to set books aside and actually sit down and research something. I always think they've got to come from within.

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

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.

Even when I was a little boy, when I was seven, I absolutely loved Wonder Woman, and I saw her as one of the superhero greats with Superman and Batman, and I think it's because she was her own thing. She always felt like the real deal the same way that Superman and Batman did. Whereas the She-Hulks and Spider-Women and all that kind of thing felt like a continuation of a concept.

The animated books pay the lowest rates at the Big Two and you can forget about royalties.

I'm just running through this list of potential nannies and wondered if we should go for a superhero this time. Do you think Wolverine would be interested? He seems to be on every other team right now.
