I don't want to do any tie-ins where we just plug into the larger narrative -- if we're tying into that entirely hypothetical event with an "X" right slap bang in the middle of it, that tie-in is going to change things significantly, not just for us but for the entire X-line. It needs to be a seismic event that cannot possibly be skipped or ignored and hits at the very heart of everything. -- Al Ewing

The notion that you could get the same thrill of watching Superman take down an authoritarian regime but you put it on another planet so it doesn't seem as crass that Superman could solve all our problems. But you can put him on a planet where he can solve the problems of some ridiculous, symbolic problems of human nature, I liked that. It really worked and gave me an ending to the story that was different but it did what I wanted. It took it out of what Superman has been doing for all these years fighting the same Brainiac and Luthor but leaves it behind to say he's going to take it on a higher metaphorical level. -- Grant Morrison

Well, it's kind of like with Superman -- he's expansive and he's a good character. Batman is a more devious and more Machiavellian type of character who can really bring you down if he wants. But with Green Lantern and Hal Jordan, it's really fun to put yourself in that headspace, this is a guy who doesn't break. You know, so many heroes have been made fallible as an attempt to make them relatable and, I think with Jordan, the less fallible you make him, the more fun -- and honestly, the more relatable -- I think we know guys like him, guys who get their heads down and just do the job, that would get their arms blown off and just be like "It's just a scratch!" -- Grant Morrison

I asked Evan Dorkin and Sarah Dyer to write about the Human Torch’s ten-year high-school reunion as seen through the eyes of his ex-girlfriend Dorrie Evans, because they’ve done such warm, human, affecting work on material from Superman: The Animated Series to the awesome Beasts of Burden to Evan’s pop-culture-obsessed Eltingville Club stories, and I knew they’d embrace the crazy minutiae of comics history but bring that sense of heart and emotion to it. -- Kurt Busiek

My observation of the current nostalgia for the ‘80s in culture, politics and international relations played a big part in Xmasville —- having lived through the ’80s, I can assure my readers it wasn’t worth being nostalgic about in any way... -- Grant Morrison

At a DC retreat, I said, "OK, between 50 and 75, we're doing the fall. It's Batman hitting his lowest point, in issue 74," and I could see people look at me: "You're going to do 25 issues of Batman falling?" I was like, "Yeah, sure! No problem, it'll be fine!" Then I got in the middle and I was like, "What was I thinking?" -- Tom King
