One thing I’ve often found useful, working in shared universes, is what I think of as Featuring A Bug. What I mean by that is: think long and hard about the big Event Stuff going in, and there’s almost always gonna be plot holes, unanswered questions, uncertain pivots. So you simply make those things your story. Answer the question, plug the hole, explain the pivot. Hey presto: you’re being a good soldier, helping the wider universe retain its coherence. But you’re also doing so in a unique way. If you can also make that story support the threads you wanted to weave as part of your own book’s narrative, abracadabra: you’ve turned a bug into a feature. All of which is to say: I’ve been trusted to apply my own sideways-thinking weirdness to the book so far, and am therefore more than happy to field the curveballs from above, and sling them back with added glitter. -- Si Spurrier

My warped mind always equated Richard Dragon as DC's version of Chuck Norris, but I don’t believe Dragon ever became a tired old meme. If anything, his supporting cast proved to be more memorable than he was.

I first became aware of the Question thanks to the Justice League Unlimited cartoon. I gather that the comics version is quite different. Frankly, this book had me when I found out Lady Shiva was in it.
