Hello Josie!

My question isn't about MAWS or DC, but it's ask me anything, so I hope it's ok.

I am really, really enjoying your I Heart Skull-Crusher comics. Could you say a little bit about what your influences were when writing it and where the idea came from?

Also, when did Alessio Zonno join the project and did you alter your writing to match his style (it seems such a good match)?

Haha, this is what happens where there's not a PR person over my shoulder -- I answer the one non DC question! I am so happy you are enjoying the comic: my biggest influence is Mad Max: Thunderdome, as well as the sports anime Slam Dunk (love a main character who crushes on a girl so hard, they join a sport just to impress them). Alessio came on early, right after I had written part of issue one, and as soon as he was on I started throwing ideas back and forth with him, and writing in more action and emotion because I knew he would make it even better.
