Congratulations on the Eisner!! Absolutely deserved (BW has been wonderful!) I also deeply enjoyed the latest Captain Marvel issue as well (even if it makes me sad 😥). Despite the arc being far shorter than I would've hoped, I found the end (probably not, all things considered. That was likely just round 1) to be fitting. That said, (this was probably an impossible dream to dream but) I did kinda hope that Carol and Amora would've left it on better footing than they started, and it saddens me to see things ... go the way they did, even if that's probably how it had to happen. (Not sure how that bridge can be rebuilt but hey you never know 🤞🏽🤞🏽) Regardless, great work!

Thank you! We’re very excited and shocked.

Yeah. I like to build bridges when I can, but this seemed more like building adversarial relationships (which is important too)…and given Amora and Ove a real and genuine grudge to hold against Carol. Friends and allies are fun, but heroes need great villains too!

I do wonder how present day Namor would react to Ove. I'm not sure he'd instantly bond with him like present day Amora. Also looking forward to The Last of the Marvels, i have a lot of questions but you probably can't answer them yet. I will say it's cool to see Genis-Vell after so long.

I agree. Definitely think Namor would NOT bond as quickly. 

Yeah. People seem excited about Genis-Vell…hopefully we don’t disappoint!

Congratulations on the Eisner for Black Widow! Definitely well earned.

Thank you!

I have read CM#30 and although there are things that I liked about the story, I still try to find the link between the stories of Strange Academy and Captain Marvel, especially by omitting or not mentioning the fact of the two sons of Amora who study at the Academy, I think Amora feels more affection and love for them than for Ove that she has just met and that she surely doesn't have full trust because to exist, she and Namor would have to be together and it doesn't seem that will happen.

There is no link.

We only mentioned that she was recently in prison to reflect the events of the Strange Academy issue where she recently appeared.

There’s no reason to mention Amora’s other two sons - that would certainly make sense in an Enchantress story, but this is a CAPTAIN MARVEL story.

CM # 30 is the end of the magic arc but for me it is a story of Carol's emotional state of where she finds herself with the negative emotions she feels and how she must travel the path of them both in love and in the rest of his life, I wanted to ask you the promotion of last marvels is incredible but when you see the symbol of the inverted triangle and since I imagine you have it almost written already, will Jess play an important role in said arc? I think that in the beginning she will not be (issue 32) but what after? Do you have something exciting for her prepared in the near future? Thanks so much.

Thanks so much. That is definitely what the arc is about, so I’m glad you’re getting that from it.

Jessica will definitely play a roll - she appears in CM 33, 34, and 35. I don’t know if I’d call it major, but she’s definitely in it!

Congratulations on getting to write Spider-Man! I hope that there's been more positivity send towards you than negativity, you deserve it!

If it's not too revealing about the project, how does writing a series like that work with multiple writers? Is it split between certain sections written by certain people, people pitching together/bouncing ideas off each other, something different? Just curious.

Thanks!

There’s been a lot of love. And also a lot of people sure they know exactly what it is already and that they hate it…which is pretty impressive. I wish I could see the future like that!

Zeb is our leader (which is great because it means he’s had to do way more work!) - and we basically do a Spidey writing room - which has been very cool and fun - and then working from a master outline that we developed together we’re each given specific issues to write. It’s been an incredible process so far and I’m very excited for people to read this story.

And the artist drawing my first issues is…SO EXCITING (all the artists are pretty exciting to be honest - of course they are since Pat Gleason is one of them!) but I’ve been wanting to work with this particular artist for a lonnnnnnng time! <3

Can’t wait to share more when allowed!

CM # 29 is a psychologist portrait of Carol's state, her doubts her confusion about everything that happened in the future and to avoid it she is willing to do anything, even to lose herself but she also feels guilty about it for lying, you have reflected her psychological state in a masterful way and the interaction with Amora I love! I read in your interview that issue # 35 will be a bomb and I hope Jess is there because the beginning of the last marvels arc seems to be epic and if Jess plays a great role in that arc I will freak him out and see you in Amazing I think it will be brutal although there is little hope of seeing my beloved Jess since she and Ben don't even know each other. Thanks so much.

Wow. Thank you. That’s very kind praise!

Yeah, I don’t know if we’ve got room for Jess in what’s a very tightly plotted Spidey story, but she’s got her book and she’ll keep showing up in CM too! <3

Black Widow # 7 is an issue where you can see the human and emotional part that you have given Nat the discussion about whether or not to train Lucy to relive a memory about her son you have delved into Nat like no one did before and I love you I'm writing today because it's my 44th birthday and uff and I would be very excited to know if you have plans for Jessica in Carol next or with Nat although I think it is more difficult there I like how you tell not superheroines but people and I would love you to do something great with Jess Thanks so much.

Happy Birthday!!!

And thank you for sending me such nice words on YOUR birthday! <3

Plans are still for Jess to show up in CM 33, 34, and 35. I don’t like to PROMISE until it’s written, but all signs point to Jess being in those issues.

No plans for Jess to show up in Black Widow though. We’re pretty full up on cast right now.

Thanks again for the kind words. Really glad you’re enjoying the book and HAPPY BIRTHDAY again! <3

Why would rhodey get back or want to get back with Carol after this? She broke up with him over a random 1-in-infinity post apocalyptic future because of a girl that has no feasible way to be born whatsoever in present day. This isn't even halfway rational, its the marvel equivalent of breaking up with someone because they're a Pisces, and now she rebounded to Strange? There's no concrete reasoning, you'd think she'd have learned this by now, but getting tired of irrational and stupid carol.

Because he’s in love with her? Because that doesn’t just magically go away when someone does something dumb or hurts you. 

I’m sorry you don’t care for the story and are “tired” of it, but having characters always do the right thing or the thing that makes sense, to never make mistakes, or make bad choices is unrelatable and unrealistic. People are not machines. And shouldn’t be written as such.

It seems like someone that wants to see this kind of thing stop with Carol would appreciate an arc where we showcase how making bad decisions leads you down bad paths. But I guess not.

Best of luck to ya.

orlissa asked:

Hi there! :) I've been meaning to ask for a while: I have noticed that a lot of your female characters (drawn by different artists) end up with asymmetrical haircuts. Is it a conscious decision, an unconscious one, or a total coincidence? :)

Definitely not on purpose…though I do like a good asymmetrical cut!

I’m trying to think of who has one other than Nat though? Maybe Nancy Drew and some of the Jem ladies maybe…Star ended up with an asymmetrical haircut I guess, but initially had very traditional long hair…and I think it’s back to that now? Doesn’t seem like that many characters considering how many books and characters I’ve gotten to write. But maybe I’m forgetting some?

In one of the earlier issues of your Captain marvel run, you had carol's thought bubbles say "She is not going to be another mistake I have learn from" in issue 1. Yet carol makes pretty much the same mistakes she did in civil war II with this future apocalypse situation. Are you trying to say carol does not learn from her mistakes?

How can you say that Carol makes the same mistakes when the story isn’t over yet? You’ve read part 1 of 3.

I’d also say that learning from your mistakes and making different choices is literally one of the hardest things any of us does and it’s not a one time thing…it lasts our whole lives. It’s not “flip a switch and I now miraculously know the right decision at all times” we still fuck up. All the time. In new ways and old ways.

What will Tony do if learns that Carol is worrying about the future again? That kind of behaviour was what killed rhodey in civil war 2

Eh. It’s not Tony’s story. It’s Carol’s…and Rhodey’s.

akirakan asked:

Can Anya get cycle too? 🥺

Haha. Maybe! Natasha DOES have a lot of toys!

Would Carol have asked Loki? 👀👀👀 (how would that have gone, if we can ask)

I don’t think she would have…Enchantress makes a lot of sense to ask…if you keep reading. ;D

😱 The snakes!!! I always love to see them. This issue was too much fun. Jess drilling Carol for the deets, the awkwardness between Carol and Strange, the "Schrodinger's" cat room (lmao) and I did NOT see that ending coming. The new costume is killer and so is that panel with the famous meme reference. 😂

Super curious about where this all leads. That was an interesting point Strange brings up about the multitude of possible futures. Is that something that might play into where this is headed? How does Carol know dumping Rhodes will even lead to him having this future daughter? What if knowing about it alters that outcome? Except was she always going to find out and break up? Is it all inevitable?! Time travel always hurts my brain.

But I'm going to forever love this future version of 2052 if only because it means Irene LeBeau gets to exist there.

Thank you so much!

I love those damn snakes.

Jacopo gets ALL the credit for that hilarious meme reference.

Those questions will definitely be answered (or at least touched on/addressed)…

There are absolutely time travel brain hurt-y paradoxes going on here.

I wish I’d been able to use Irene more.

MY KINGDOM FOR MORE PAGES!!!!
