June 20, 2011: Kelly Sue DeConnick Talks Supergirl
A sleep-deprived Kelly Sue DeConnick spoke with Newsarama.com about writing Supergirl, why these pre-relaunch comics matter, and how Kara and Lois work together.
- Nrama: Another big part of the story is that it's a Kara/Lois team-up. They've got an interesting relationship; they're the two most famous female characters in the Superman mythos - and among the two most recognizable female characters in all of comics - but don't really have a lot of shared experiences at this point in continuity. What kind of fun has it been getting to explore their dynamic?
DeConnick: They're so very different - and I like that. Kara's cool, Lois is brash. Lois is about as woman as woman gets; Kara's navigating her way into womanhood. They're oil and water, but I mean that in the way that oil and water swirl together and make an interesting design. Like that pretty paper I bought in Venice. If I meant they clashed, I'd say they were an acid and a base. Like, you know, a fourth grade volcano.
Oh god. I need to sleep.
