“One of the problems in a lot of the more popular comic books series’ is that a lot of the characters have idealized bodies. The men look like pro wrestlers, and the women look like fashion models. I want to mix things up, and not just for diversity’s sake. I find that a varied vast is more interesting. Also, go Giants!”
