Creators on the Couch - Phillip Kennedy Johnson 3

Intro

Superman
- One last question: Metallo giving everything for his sister - where did that idea come from?

James Bond (11:52)
- Based more in Fleming novels vs. films?
- Was there a particular Bond you had in mind while writing?
- What makes him such an enduring character, in light of the constant reboots and takes on him?
- Admittedly only read first half - could not access God & Country

John Stewart (23:12)
- Given your military background, did you gravitate towards John vs. other Lanterns?
- Focus on John’s family life - mother with dementia and loss of younger sister
- Revenant Queen - like her speech style (35:18)
- Obviously it’s ongoing, but how far out do you have mapped storylines?

Incredible Hulk (39:05)
- This story is much more monster-oriented than previous Hulk runs - was this intended to shift away from internal/mental focus like the Ewing run?
- Body horror - story and art focus on the pain and effects of transformation
- What inspired Charlie? Feels like more than just audience surrogate
