	Well, in addition to the aforementioned projects--''Grounded'' and ''Hazed''--I have some books out from [[DC Comics\|DC]]. A ''Cyborg'' (one of the Teen Titans) mini-series out now, his first ever solo book; and ''Two-Face: Year One'', the origin of Batman's greatest villain, scheduled to come out in July in time for ''The Dark Knight'' sequel. The latter might be of particular interest to ''Heroes'' fans, because it takes place in the same world as ''Heroes'' writer [[Jeph Loeb]]'s [and artist [[Tim Sale]]'s] ''Batman: The Long Halloween''.

	That, and again I want to thank everyone at ''Heroes'' for giving me the opportunity to write more graphic novel chapters, for the fans for reading them, and to you for interviewing me.

'''Are Penny's and Connie's natural appearances the result of repeated use of [[Appearance alteration\|Connie's ability]] or is their current normal appearance the original way they looked?

	Their current normal appearance is the original way they looked. Connie's abilities only work for 24 hours (right now). And she can't use them on herself.

	I wrote it (and had fun doing so), although there was some editing after the draft I handed in. I wrote it after I wrote the novel, but it was based on things I knew about the characters before I sat down to write the script. I've said this before but it's hard to write 5-6 page stories, so I was glad to have the opportunity to give the characters a little more depth outside the panels.

			'''So Connie shares a birthday with you, eh?

			Ha, yeah, although she's a decade or so older. NBC asked us to come up with full names, D.O.B.'s and birthplaces for these characters, presumably for legal purposes. It's hard picking dates at random so I thought I'd slip my own in there.

			I'd love to do a joint birthday party with her--she can make all the women look the way I want. And if those women don't like me, she can make me look the way ''they'' want!


			'''Why Union, NJ?

			A bunch of comic pros I know are from the Jersey area. And I love Bruce Springsteen--I almost made it Asbury Park.


			'''Did you do any psychology research for the profile? You mention narcissistic personality disorder and codependency behavior...

			No, that stuff was added in editorially after I wrote it. But reading it I think whoever added it nailed both Connie and Penny pretty well in that regard.

	'''Why [[Levittown]]?		'''Why [[Levittown]]?

	That is a great question actually. Levittown is a town on Long Island, near where I grew up. It was built after the [[World War II\|Second World War]] as affordable housing, one of the first if not the first planned suburban communities. But what it's really known for is that almost all the houses look the same. I thought that worked thematically with a characters who could blend into a crowd or make someone look like anyone else.
