Interview: Soo Lee - Cheetara coming out in July

1. Soo, thank you so much for being on the AIPT Comics podcast! To start, Cheetara is very near and dear to so many, were you a fan of the original series at a young age, or did you gain interest later?
2. You’ve mentioned there’s some cool things overlooked in the original cartoon concerning Cheetara, could you expand on that?
3. This is a story about the past and future within the universe, how deep does Warner Bros let you go? Has there been any push back on ideas?
4. Why do you think Cheetara is one of the most important supporting characters?
5. Is there any synergy between Cheetara and Thundercats?
6. Domenico Carbone draws the series, has there been a specific panel or page that went beyond your expectations?
7. Cheetara isn’t your first exploration of a licensed character as you’re coming off writing and drawing Maleficent, would you say there are any similarities to your approach to crafting these series?
8. Let’s say Cheetara gets a movie deal, and the studio wants your input on who to cast. Any actors come to mind?
9. If Cheetarah was a song what would it be and why?
   1. Abba song
10. Superfight: Maleficent vs. Cheetara!
