      Oh, just Ur, New York City, Rome, Jerusalem, Shao-Shih Mountain, the jungles of India ... and Adams County, Ohio.

      So, you know, not much.

      That would be telling. Sorry! Not trying to be coy, just want to get started off with a new company on the right foot, y'know?

      Any of 'em, though I do have a soft spot for Martian Manhunter, which is the one DC character I've actually rewritten before.

      I have a couple Marvel projects in the pipeline... but they're not comics... hmmmm...

      As for the new comics project announcement, I can't say (because I don't know), but we just locked the artist in yesterday, and I couldn't be more psyched.

      The news of my first non-Marvel project since my exclusive ended should be announced soon! Very much looking forward to it.

      It varies wildly. I will say it seems that the easier something is to right, the better it tends to be. That's not always the case though; openings, in particular, tend to be written many, many, times over before you get them right. That's why, in comics, #1's are so difficult.

      That is a question for Jack Kirby, who designed the costume. But he's dead. Who am I to question The King?

      According to the origin of Hercules in iHerc #126, his mom made him the costume in ancient Greek times. So I presume there's some sentimental value to it beyond any utilitarian value.

      Your question implies we wanted to do something else other than what we did and the events got in the way; but that's not true. We got to do exactly what we wanted to do with HERC, it just didn't catch on commercially. It happens.
