Though I was overwhelmed and intimidated by the prospect of writing a comic, something entirely new and different, I was also thrilled. Though I had no room in my schedule, I absolutely said yes because, as I rationalized to a friend, this way we could maybe get tickets to the premiere of Thor: Ragnorak and meet Thor himself. Archie comics, though, are very different from the stuff of superheroes. Even when I set the Archie comics down, my imagination ran wild, continuing to imagine what would happen next in the stories I had just read, envisioning different lives for these characters. I loved Riverdale and the adventures of Archie and Jughead and Betty and Veronica. Now, I am not a comic book reader, or at the time, I wasn’t. Ta-Nehisi told me there was a possibility of creating a spinoff series with two characters from the Black Panther comic he wrote for Marvel. I love a creative challenge and surprising people with what genre I might break into next.
