Interesting! There's the obvious comparison to Rorschach, but it feels like you also ended up covering, if not the same thematic territory then at least adjacent territory, in Strange Adventures.
I'm curious about the timing, too. This would've been shortly after Loki's long redemption arc at Kieron Gillen and Al Ewing's hands, I believe, but he seems full-blown evil here. Or was this going to be a Black Label-esque out of continuity thing?
Tom, this is phenomenal but every time I see “what could have been” if you’d been a Marvel guy kills me a little more every time. Love your DC work, but I need to see you on more of *my* favorite characters. But, I guess whatever makes you happy. Keep up the great work, love it all!
I don't know if this is the best place to post this, but I just finished Supergirl #8... at the risk of sounding dramatic, I think that was the first time I wept reading a comic. Thank you.
Oh, what could have been! Awesome pitch Tom, I love the use of flashback to see how certain events culminated into the murder of a god.
I was wondering, as someone who has said they get inspiration from old Noir films (e.g. DOA for Human Target, Act of Violence for Strange Adventures), what was your inspiration for this one? Feels like a 70's Political Thriller, in the same vein as Rorschach.
Also who would have been the artists for the series? Were there any future plans to continue in an ongoing series for Marvel?
I realize this is probably a dumb question but as an outsider who doesn't necessarily know how the industry works, did you get compensated for this in any sense ... considering at least some significant aspects made their way into the comic books?
Phenomenal… so who was the assassin?

Wow, I've been dying to know about this for a while. Thanks for sharing!
