I might have to give her run more thought after reading thisTo summarize the Aquaman portion of the interview:
-Bendis was the one who suggested the job to her when he was in the hospital and she & Matt Fraction visited him
-She wanted to get a handle on Arthur’s voice and she felt like she needed to sideline Mera for a bit because Mera has such a strong voice it threatened to overpower Arthur’s for her
-The Gods are all based on real world mythologies, she wanted to explore Panthenons beyond Greek and Norse
-She wants to make Amnesty Bay feel as real and as vibrant as Gotham and Metropolis, since that to Arthur is more his “home” than Atlantis given how the City has constantly rejected him (I look forward to Amnesty Bay getting more love)
-She says it’s refreshing to go from the Marvel Universe’s “Daddy issues” to Arthur’s hang-ups about his relationship with his mom
-She’s not a fan of love triangles but editorial at DC & Marvel are huge fans of them, and want her to include them in every book
-She got approval for a baby but editorial doesn’t want them married and she’s pushing for them to get married (its bizarre to me that DC is ok with babies out of wedlock but not marriages, I guess that’s a result of Damian?)
-She doesn’t have any plans to kill the baby, as a mother she really has no desire to go there, but she is aware of the history in regards to past Aquababies
-She thinks there is plenty of opportunity for drama with married couples
-She’s wanted to bring Kaldur and Arthur together for a while
