Would be a great choice to star in a Supergirl movie?

Ooh, good question. A few years ago i would have gone with Elisha Cuthbert. I would want her to be young or young looking so maybe Britt Robertson from "Life Unexpected."

How much does format and dimension matter to you as a reader? If a comic is a square format (or anything other then traditional) does that actually effect your reading experience? Enhance it? No big deal? VIva diversity?

Not really, the only thing that takes me out of the experience is bad panel flow, or a disregard for new readers visually.

The cover you drew for Supergirl 36 in 2009 is beautiful and intriguing. It makes her look like a 13 year old. It speaks of an innocence I've only seen with Mary Marvel. I'd love to see more of it. Any chance the character or art will linger on that?

I didn't draw that cover, that was the incredibly talented josh Middleton. It is pretty cool though.

I love that Rockwell/Ross look that you bring to your work. The nature of the Genre gives it plenty of fantasy and exaggeration. Thanks for giving us the excellent quality and expression of emotion that helps us connect with the characters.

Thank you very much.
