I love crossovers. A lot of writers hate them because they often are enforced by editorial. But I love them, they were my favorites as a kid, and even when they are sort of inflicted upon an arc, I love trying to make them feel like they belong.

1/
My problem with big event crossover books is not that they the usual stuff, it's that I think they should FEEL like events. Too many are a formula from a committee; ie. this hero dies, this hero loses an arm, etc. etc.

They should feel like they're special.

I enjoyed Death Metal because it was just such a balloon full of nitro. I enjoyed Secret Wars because it didn't really feel like any other Marvel story at the time. Those kinds of stories always stick out for me, because they feel special.

One time I was at a con where David Hasselhoff was a guest, also. We crossed paths several times and he was very friendly, seemed like a perfectly decent dude. He was very fit and handsome, just seemed like a very nice guy for a celebrity. BUT...

The thing is, this lovely hotel had a glass elevator that game a very nice view, but was very very slow. I don't know why, but it took FOREVER to get to the upper floors. So, one night, after an exhausting con day, @RocketSpouse and I got in the elevator. And...

Here’s the first thing. Many of you know I am an avid gamer and collector of retro games. So one of my favorite things from the past year is the @evercaderetro, an amazing handheld cartridge system with LICENSED versions of long lost games. I love it, and...

Okay, so here's a funny thing about anthologies in comics...while sometimes you get to read the other stories in advance, often, you don't see the entire book until everyone else does. I was honored to be asked to write a little story in DEATH METAL: LAST STORIES OF THE DCU.
1/
The great @Ssnyder1835 was kind enough to ask me to participate, writing a story with the Green Arrow/Black Canary romance, which weirdly, I have gotten to write very little of, considering how many BC stories I've done. So I happily agreed.

Then I found out the incredible @MeghanHetrick was available to draw it, and it would be colored by the incredible @marissadraws, so it was going to LOOK beautiful, and I was even happier.
