You want, whenever you're telling a story, to have a certain amount of range, and you want to be able to take the audience on that ride with you.
One of the funny things about Wonder Woman is that everybody does love her. She does win everybody over at some point.
A lot of times we look at the past as something that was really great, but we ignore things that have actually gotten better since then.
What I like about 'Paper Girls' in particular is that, because we're approaching it more from a female perspective, we're able to consider the emotional states of these characters a little bit more and think more of their interiority.

One of my favorite comics is 'Love and Rockets' by the Hernandez Brothers. They do such a wonderful job of showing you how the character of Maggie ages and really doesn't present that with any kind of judgment.
I'm really happy that more and more people are making their own comics.
