The Trick Was Really Finding

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.

Oddly, I Think If You Look At Comic Books, You Look At The Shelves In The Store, It's Predominantly Male Characters, Historically. But If You Look Outside The Window It's 52-percent Female, And Something Odd Is Going On There. So I Do Think It's Your Responsibility As A Writer, Really, To Create Stuff That Little Girls Can Get Into Too. I Want My Daughters To Have Role Models That Are Female.

Pretty Much All Comic-book People, Like All Hollywood People, For The Most Part, Are Pretty Liberal. I Think Especially Uk Writers. Alan Moore Is Probably The Most Radical Guy You'll Ever Meet. I Grew Up Loving Those Guys, So My Heroes, As A Kid, Were Radical Cartoonists, Essentially. I Couldn't Help But - I Grew Up In A Left-wing Household. But I Do Think It's Fun, Writing Right-wing Characters. I've Found It Interesting, Just As A Writer, To Get Inside Their Heads And Make Them Likeable.

I Didn't Want The Headache Of Having A Publisher Reviewing Everything I Wrote In Advance.

Maybe In This Star Wars World Maybe Subconsciously I Was Preparing Myself. But I've Just Found All Of My Ideas I've Been Coming Up With Are Big Sci-fi Things, And I Wanted To Do A Big Epic, A Big Space Opera, And This Is It. This Is Mine.
