Firestorm Writer Stuart Moore: Q&A
Posted: Monday, May 30

Stuart Moore is a highly respected industry veteran. Unfortunately or fortunately, that doesn’t spare him being placed under the Internet microscope with the June 1, 2005, release of his first issue as the writer of Firestorm (Firestorm 14). Moore recently took the time to answer my questions about his upcoming work at DC, as well as projects for Penny Farthing, Avatar, Hoarse and Buggy, and Games Workshop. It’s not every day that one gets to interview a founding editor of DC’s Vertigo line, but I get lucky once and awhile. My thanks to Moore for his time and thoughts.
O’Shea: What can you tell folks about Stargate Atlantis (for Avatar)? Are there certain continuity guidelines that the TV producers mandate, or were you given an element of freedom (as writers like John Ostrander find to some extent on the Star Wars work)?
Moore: It's been pretty easy so far. The only bumps I've had involve the tech details of how the Stargates work -- it's much more complicated than it seems! But everyone liked my initial storyline and the first issue is being drawn now.
As for the story: The key to it, for me, was clicking onto one of the main characters' personal dilemmas -- in this case, Major Sheppard's feelings of guilt for having loosed the Wraith, the life-energy vampires, on the Pegasus Galaxy. Nobody else really blames him for that, but he does. So he's willing to take some stupid chances and put himself at great risk to stop them.
There should be a preview special coming out sometime in the next month, I think. The approvals process has been slowed down a little by the MGM/Sony merger, so the miniseries will probably debut in late summer or early fall now.
