Interview: Absolute Wonder Woman Out October 23 Kelly Thompson Hayden Sherman

1. You’re reinventing a character from the ground up, so where was the ground exactly when you started?
2. Having talked to Scott this has been quite awhile in the making, how long were you both working on this series?
3. Absolute Batman seems to be about stripping away Batman from what we know, is that something you also brought to Wonder Woman?
4. Hayden, was there a certain cultural style you were going for with Wonder Woman’s design/clothing?
5. Is the skeleton pegasus a staple of this series, or a one-off creature?
6. 12 issue 6 include pegasus weapons
7. What would main universe Wonder Woman think of Absolute Wonder Woman?
8. Hayden I’ve always adored your layout design, how do you approach a page and know how you’ll frame it? There’s a lot of visual ideas at work in the first issue, from action to interesting interiors, do you prefer drawing one over the other?
9. A superheroes villains are nearly as important as the hero themselves, what kind of work goes into unveiling familiar villains in a work like this?
