Thank you, that is the hope.

I like subversive messages, I like to take something that is fairly straightforward and routine and try to show a meaning to it that people may not have thought of.  That is what appeals to me about doing a crossover.

I have done the tie-in books in the past, and I really enjoy it. The secret for me is to try to tell a story that BENEFITS from a crossover, but isn't steamrolled over by a crossover.

When they did the four Infinite Crisis tie-in books, they had the idea to not give any of them real endings, so that they could lead into other books. We fought hard against that and for that reason, I think Villains United stands up really well even as the Infinite Crisis story is now in the past…VU still sells really well, because it's a complete story, I think.

You have to fight to get your story in that context, to make it not about just crossover fever.
