Hi Tom, when you see DC launching JUSTICE LEAGUE 3001 do you see it as a direct response to GUARDIANS 3000 or do you dismiss it as coincidence/parallel evolution?
Nah, completely independent. They’re not doing that to ape GUARDIANS 3000.
Especially since it’s a relaunch of Justice League 3000, which launched December 2013, ten months before Guardians 3000.
The goal is that everyone should get to turn on the TV and see someone who looks like them and loves like them. And just as important, everyone should turn on the TV and see someone who doesn’t look like them and love like them. Because, perhaps then they will learn from them. Perhaps then they will not isolate them, marginalize them, erase them. Perhaps they will even come to recognize themselves in them. Perhaps they will even learn to love them.

What is your preferred method of listening to music (digital, CD, vinyl, etc.)? Do you use numerous ways or mostly just one? Why?
There days, it’s almost entirely digital, for ease of access – although there’s also a record player in the living room which we use to listen to the old jazz records that Kate collects and some old vinyl I brought with me from the UK when I moved here. I don’t even have a CD player anymore (although I could theoretically use the DVD player, I guess…?), much to the upset of a sizable DVD collection that I can’t bring myself to part with.
