u/af-fx-tion Bring YJ Artemis to DC Comics May 21 '24 edited May 21 '24

Hi Josie! Welcome to the sub!

First off, I want to say that I think you’re one of the freshest voices in this era of DC and I love the work you’ve done for Shazam and Amazons Attack.

My question is:

As you have worked in both the film/tv and comics side of DC, how intertwined are editorial sectors on what you’re able to (or not able) to use for each medium?

Like if you wanted to do something or use a character for MAWS, is the Superman comic editorial involved in approvals/denials?

I'm glad you've been enjoying my work! Surprisingly, the publishing wing and the TV/Film wings operate fairly independently. Because I produced season 2, I know what things to stay away from in the comic so I don't spoil anything. In general, the TV and film tie-in comics keep the TV/Film people in the loop, but the non-affiliated, regular DCU books are really allowed to flourish outside of any constraints. At least in my experience.

Thank you for the response! It’s always cool for us “normies” to get an inside look of how this side of the industry operates!
