ERIC HEISSERER:What I find so compelling about her is that this is a character with a history.
But Livewire never lost that.
She always knew whats good for the world and whats good for people.
Raul Allen
How with those beliefs be challenged in the upcoming series?
The Raul Allen art weve seen from the series so far looks amazing.
What can you tease about readers can expect from him here?
Raul Allen
Hes a full package artist.
We could spend the entire interview with me just gushing about him.
Hes got a flair for color in a way I havent seen before.
Raul Allen
That couldve been a confusing segment, but he does something truly genius with it.
What did you learn from your work onArrivalthat youre now applying to new projects?
This allowed me an economy withSecret Weaponsthat I dont think I wouldve been able to bring to it beforeArrival.
Raul Allen
In addition toSecret WeaponsandArrival, youve also been working on the scripts forBloodshotandHarbinger.
What can you tease about the status of those?
Ive just completed a new draft ofBloodshot, and I wrapped up my work onHarbingerlate last year.
Raul Allen
Im excited for both of them to move forward.
What do you find compelling about the Bloodshot and Harbinger characters?
Thats what I like about him.

Sometimes we learn the lesson we need to learn without knowing it.
