Now, following the events of DC’s game-changing Absolute Power, Diana embarks on her next great adventure – the birth of her daughter, Trinity!With the Absolute Power tie-in wrapped up, how does it feel to get back to your main story arc?What does Trinity mean to you, as far as her potential legacy for Wonder Woman and DC?Should we expect The Sovereign to show up, is he inherently tied to Trinity’s origin?I feel like, with the creation of Damian, DC Comics has sort of owned the aspect of child heroes, and so far you’ve seemed to tie Damian and Trinity quite a bit. Are they inherently important to each other?We’ve gotten to know Trinity via the wonderful backups with art by Belén Ortega, and notably absent are the adults. Might you be exploring where they went off to?Daniel, your art is so striking, the fight around the Washington monument is one of my favorite fights ever in comics! Extending from interiors, your covers are incredible too. How do you approach them to make them so striking, is there a starting point?Since we’re talking about birth, why do you think it’s important Wonder Woman was made of clay? Is there a symbolic reason?Tom, thoughts on Green Lantern casting news?

How does this series stand apart from previous Superman stories?When starting from scratch, so to speak, was it ever overwhelming figuring out what you wanted to use from the vast Superman tapestry?What themes are you most excited to explore with Superman in this series? Are there new facets of his personality or struggles you’re aiming to highlight?The concept of social class is a strong one in the first issue, why was that so important to this character?To be honest, the social class element made me immediately think of Batman, do you think your Superman would get along with Batman?What challenges have you faced in writing Superman (though not for the first time), a character often seen as the ultimate symbol of hope and morality?What would Absolute Superman think of main universe Superman, or vice versa?The first issue seems to suggest there’s some tweaks to Superman’s abilities, or maybe how he charges up. Was there a trial and error process of figuring out this Superman’s power set?Since you’ve been developing this series more or less alongside the Absolute Batman and Wonder Woman, did the development of those series influence your approach or take at all?Is there a panel or page Rafa blew you away?What’s your thoughts on the new Superman logo?
