Get Ta Know Me!

There’s a meme going around certain comic blogs, and here’s where it spreads beyond beyond. Here are five interview questions from Ami Angelwings, with my answers:

1. Going purely by looks (and pretending you're single), name five comic book women that you'd want as a trophy wife XD

Fun question – and pretending they’re single never got anyone into any trouble, so I’m in the clear there. So all that’s left is realizing this is one more post which’ll make my sister cringe – which I’m totally down with, so we’re on. (I’ll post some images when I get home.) Let’s see…

Bumblebee: She’s just as cute as a guy could want. I love those little pigtails!


Phantom Girl – So. Very. Disco.


Heather Hudson – Ponytail? Glasses? Redhead? Oh, thank you lord. (Not the most flattering picture, but I Like What I Like.)


Big Barda – The woman is a jungle gym of love!


Secret Agent Diana Prince – What'd I say about glasses? All that and the va-va-voom to boot!


Don’t ask me to rank them – it’d break my heart!

(And apologies to Dawnstar, Luba, She-Hulk, Batgirl, MJ, Zatanna, Lois, Rose Red, Black Widow, Tulip and 355.)

2. If you could change Black Adam's magic word into something he'd never guess (but it had to be a proper word that you yourself know without checking a dictionary) what would it be? :D

“Brewski.” Because someone so uptight shouldn’t have that much power – but if he ever sidles up to a bar and asks for a brewski, I’ll know he’s ready to loosen up and let things go.

3. If you could become editor of one DC title which would it be? :o

Probably Legion of Super Heroes. It’s the DCU, but its off in its own little world – or rather, its own vast, expansive universe – where anything at all can happen. I’d love to see what Kurt Busiek could do with the title – and I would throw as much money as I had at my disposal to get Steve Rude to draw it.


4. What do you add to your hot dog? :D

Cheese, mustard and raw diced onions.

5. What makes you happy? :)

Most of all, time spent with my friends. (I’m lucky enough to be able to count my wife among them.)

Wanna play? Here’s how!

1. Leave me a comment saying, "Interview me."

2. I will respond by asking you five questions. I get to pick the questions. (They probably won't be the same ones you see above!)

3. You will update your blog with the answers to the questions.

4. You will include this explanation and an offer to interview someone else in the same post.

5. When others comment asking to be interviewed, you will ask them five questions.

Don’t worry if you don’t know anything about comics – I won’t assume you’re a comic reader – or a superhero comic reader -- when I pick my questions. (If you are, though – fair game!)
