Interview: Joshua Williamson to talk Knight Terrors!
- Having read Knight Terrors First Blood, this feels very much like you're fleshing out a corner of he DC universe that may not have had so many...connections, is that true?
- The trinity show up in this issue and get a lot of focus, how important are the Trinity to the DCU?
- I've seen a criticism that harely quinn is being "stuffed" into the event, what would you say to that argument?
- Is there a past story arc or event fans can pick up to become acquainted with the themes and characters you're using here?
- Howard Porter's art is once again fabulous, he draws my favorite Batman as far as current artists. Compared to Shadow War, is he going for a rougher style on purpose?
- "No sleep till gotham" is this a riff on a beastie boy lyric?
