One of the ways we're seeking to balance it out is by flashing back to her life and the decisions that led to her following Ezekiel's advice. The spectacle of genre story-telling allows for great character grace notes throughout, and we have a great opportunity to find those moments with Cindy. On Supernatural, I enjoy writing about monsters, demons and ghosts, but my favorite scenes to write are the ones with the boys in the Impala, just talking: about the case they're working, their lives, or even just whatever song is on the radio. I love comics and genre stories, but I particularly love finding the emotional core of characters and exploring them. What's it like to live with elevated Spidey-Sense? How do you keep your job when sometimes you have to drop everything and go save the day?Īs a writer, these character moments/scenes are my favorite to write.
Yes, she has to find out what it's like to be Silk, to live as a super-hero, to catch up with 10 years of Marvel Heroics.īut her driving force is very strong: where is her family? What happened to the world over the last 10 years? What happened to her friends? It's like she left her home town at age 18, and she's come back to see some things have moved on without her, some things are frozen in time, and some things are gone forever.Īnd yes, she's a super-hero and there are big villains and events that she'll have to deal with - but we want to focus on how she balances that life with her personal life. We were all on the same page from the beginning, in that we all want the book to have the fun and spectacle of a superhero comic, but with Cindy, there's a great opportunity to focus on a much more personal, character driven story. Have you got ideas for how to balance the needs of the book with the needs of the Marvel Universe?Įllie and Nick Lowe were very focused on this issue from our first conversations about Cindy Moon/Silk.
Silk is an interesting character in that she's got a lot of catching up to do, but I feel like superhero comics often have to sacrifice character moments in service of more plot- and event-driven stories.
