At New York Comic Con 2025, comic book writer Tom King sat down in the Pop Spot with Popverse’s Ashley V. Robinson. During the wide-ranging conversation, the writer behind cape comics like Supergirl and Wonder Woman shared plenty of interesting insights. This included details about his “all-encompassing” relationship with DC Comics.
The topic came up when Robinson remarked, “You have your fingers in so many aspects of the DC Comics pie: you’re doing comics, you’re doing animation, you’re doing live action, you’re doing film. How would you describe your relationship with DC?”
“All-encompassing,” King swiftly answered. “It’s almost like you’re a professional writer or something,” Robinson quipped.
King continued: “My relationship with DC is one of love. I love these characters, I love their potential, I love what they’ve been, and I love what they could be. And it’s my job to make them as good as they can be.”
