JUDGING BY THE COVER JR.

Interview: Tom King - Wonder Woman (issue #9 out May 21)

Tom, thanks for chatting with me on the AIPT Comics podcast. You’ve mentioned Diana is a warrior for peace and thus every fight is a lost one, and now shes’ Sovereign’s captive and not fighting at all, how have you taken this warrior of peace to a different level with this setup?
What drew you to the “no thank you” line, it’s like Wonder Woman’s catchphrase in your run!
Issue #9 has a few key locations, one of which is clearly Barcelona, and another is like a great Gatsby party. How much thought went into each location?
Daniel Sampere has made me utter “wow” more than a few times, is there a specific wow moment that’s your favorite by him so far?
In a key moment in issue 9 Diana talks about westerns, what is it about the western that Diana loves particularly?
Trinity has slowly grown up in the backup stories, will you be continuing these backups for the foreseeable future? How much longer until we get to know more about this character?
With 9 issues under your belt as of May 21st, has your run stayed the course from your original pitch or taken any surprising turns or tweaks?
The series has gone its own course so far, but will be tying into Absolute Power in July, were there any challenges in shifting gears with the event?
