I suppose in some ways, you could say it was a little of both. It wasn't really an editorial decision but both those options factored into my decision to structure the story as i did. :)

Well, I'm not really responsible for the latest movie (which I haven't seen), but I'll take your word for it. :)
Beyond both that and whatever most other writers have done with Diana over the...
I was hired by DC to write only those six issues. Phil was getting off the book and Greg was to take over as the writer, but there was going to be six months between the time Phil left and the time...
Sorry. Meant to post a response to a message above but didn't manage to get that to work. Lemme try again.
LOL. No worries. Weezie doesn't read boards so she'd never know. :D I do some although I'm not a fanatic about it. Way too much to keep track of. But I did happen to see these comments about the...
I haven't read this entire thread. I'm not going to live long enough to do so at this point. 500 pages? No chance. ;) But this is the first time I've ever come across any attribution to Weezie for...
I'm old enough to know that corrections never catch up with misapprehensions, but I thought I would add something to this particular discussion just this once so it’ll be out there somewhere on the...
Detective Comics 437 through 443.
I've never heard this before and have no idea where the notion that I hate Captain Marvel comes from. I'd be happy to see reference to the source of this remark. I even wrote and drew Captain...
I think that was just a tip of the hat to Howard, not anything to do with the Flash TV show. :)
It's true that the four of us lived in the same building in Queens (Rego Park) for about a year. Allen and I were roommates, Howard lived in a single apt on the same floor (the fourth), and Berni...
A brief historical aside--the First Issue Special 9/Dr. Fate story was written by Martin Pasko. ;)
I think the reaction was mixed but primarily okay. I wrote the Thor letter columns and read all the letters and don't remember any particular crabby letters. And the book sold out in comic shops to...
wow. I don't where the notion that Jim asked me to destroy Asgard came from but it was never true. Mark Gruenwald hired me to do Thor; Jim never really spoke to me about the title. Mark DID tell...
Yeah, I've never understand that. I've been on the forums and leaving replies (albeit sporadically) for years. Maybe it's my youthful enthusiasm. :p
I do drift by occasionally, but not often. :D
I would like to add two thoughts to this discussion. This is a lot more detailed discussion than I'm capable of handling and I am not a continuity buff. :-) But my thoughts are these.
1. I see...
I'm not sure what you mean when you wonder if the THOR Omnibus includes Ragnarok. During the time I was writing and drawing THOR for Marvel, I did two stories that were related to the mythological...
I don't have a list handy with the actual page numbers (sorry), but here's a list of the lead stories and the backups that go with them. I pulled this off another post on the web, maybe even here on...
Slightly backwards. I wrote the story, Denys penciled it, and I inked Denys' pencils. :-)
I do have a definite goal in mind but it would be some time down the road if the book (and I) last long enough to make it. :)

LOL. Not the whole time. :) Think of it as a spot check occasionally.

Well, heck. I'm delighted you liked it. :D
Thanks for taking the chance.

I think Ragnarök is going to keep my schedule pretty well filled for the foreseeable future. If I could learn the trick of splitting myself into halves or thirds, that would help. As it is, I'm...
Totally worth it. ;)
