About this deal

KSD: I think there is a thing that happens sometimes when men are trying to celebrate women. And this happens sometimes when women are trying to celebrate women as well, but it happens a lot when men are trying to celebrate women. Women get put on a pedestal, in a way that suggests that women are just “better,” right? That they’re “more communal” and “gentler,” and “more nurturing.” They’re not aggressive, like those “terrible, awful men.” And putting someone on a pedestal is just another way of putting them in a box. It’s not helpful. It’s limiting. It’s not equalizing. It continues to other us. So, the idea that a society of women would be more communal makes a lot of assumptions about women that are sort of essentialist, and really discounts how much of the way women are has to do with what women are asked or forced to do culturally.

KSD: Exactly! So, I don’t think there’s anything particularly new or incongruous about that. Where people have the hiccup is like, “But they’re women!” Like…yup! PJ: Yes, which is actually the point! Again, because these are characters who are speaking to us now and because I just didn’t want to spend a lot of time like…we’ve seen Hera in a toga, right? It’s done! It does nothing to tell us much about her character. And what I was really interested in doing was using the garb and the environments to expand on the character development that Kelly Sue gave me in the script.Gamer Network Limited, Gateway House, 28 The Quadrant, Richmond, Surrey, TW9 1DN, United Kingdom, registered under company number 03882481. Artistically, there seems to be some classical influences, but the comic also looks like nothing I’ve ever seen before. But it was a little bit like learning the rules so you could throw some of them out. Because this is fiction, and when we write about the past today, we’re not really writing about the past. We’re writing about today. There’s no point in making art about the past unless you’re using it to talk about the present or the future, because the past is past.

I actually think, quite frankly and maybe personally, just having me on the book makes it queer. I bring a certain sensibility to it. One of the things I really loved about this process was that Kelly Sue and I came from two very complementary sociopolitical ideologies and we brought that to the work. It’s all there. I love this work because it is, to me, clearly the work of a woman and maybe less clearly, but certainly I can see it, the work of a gay dude. So, I think it is inherently queer, in its way. Again, using my broader definition of “queer.” It just has a proud and profound feminist point of view, and that thrills me because I think that queers our industry a little bit. Popverse is owned by Gamer Network Limited, a ReedPop company and subsidiary of Reed Exhibitions Limited.
