Who is your least favorite comic character?

Superman

If DC comics asked you to write or plot the next 12 months of Superman, what kind of story would you give them?

Even though I really despise the big blue idiot, I would not pass up the chance to write for DC so I have worked on a plot for a Superman story that involves making Superman into what he should be, a god-like being. Having moved his Fortress of Solitude into orbit around the Earth, he sits in a throne of sorts and watchs and waits for a situation that only he can take care of. Let the other heroes of DC stop back robbers and get cats down out of trees. He will only take care of things that the other heroes can not, but cause he is a god.

Taco Bell or McDonald’s?

Toxic Hell of course. Mmmmm...Ranchero Chicken Soft Taco
