That’s letting you discover beautiful, fully-fledged characters just waiting to have a story written about them. You know, there have been masters in this craft, people who have solved the problems for you. When you’re working on licensed characters, you get to plug into this grand mythology. Like when anyone tells you, “Go write a story.” Uhhh, write a story about what? And so, suddenly, you wish you had the structure. When you’re creating your own thing, you have this absolute freedom, which can be wonderful and you finally feel like, “Ah, no one can tell me what to do.” But, that also becomes completely paralyzing. How is the process different for creator-owned versus established properties? You’ve created your own stories and worked on existing properties. We caught up with the writer at Fan Expo Canada to talk about the changing landscape of diversity in comics, writing female relationships, and her upcoming projects. Bennett has made it her mission to include as many women as possible in the world of comics. There is one general theme in Bennett’s comics, something not often seen in comics creators’ bodies of work: a plethora of diverse female characters. She is the writer behind DC’s Batwoman and Bombshells, Marvel’s A-Force and Angela: Queen of Hel, as well as her own series, InSeXts and Animosity. Marguerite Bennett is a name many will immediately recognise.
