    I love spoilers, and I read spoilers all the time. I make people tell me the endings of movies before I go to see them, and yet I refuse to give spoilers. It's kind of unfair, but that's how I roll.

    I wake up every day super excited to be a woman! It's amazing. I wouldn't have it any other way. There's an incredible diversity of people writing comics right now. As a writer, there are a lot of parts that I was thinking about in terms of the specific experience of being a woman superhero and what that means - the kind of pressures that are on strong women, and how women are able to feel strong in a public world.

    There's a certain amount of pressure that goes with writing superhero characters, especially characters that are beloved to audiences. You know that you're always writing into a certain amount of expectations and into an existing fandom, and I try to take the pressure of that in when I first accept a project and then I try to push it aside as much as possible and just focus on the story that I want to tell. It's definitely a little more pressure than writing something of your own, from your own brain, and creating those expectations from scratch. But I also like the challenge of it.

    I think it’s true that the older you get, and I am very old, the more you see that being in love and breaking up have a lot in common. Love is hard. Breaking up is hard. Love is dramatic. Breaking up is dramatic. Which makes me think that a lot of the questions you have about breaking up might be better thought of as questions about the nature of the love you have with this girl.
