	Mark Waid Interview
		Mark Waid is perhaps best-known right now for his mini-series Kingdom Come, a sort of dark look at the future of the DC universe, gorgeously painted by Alex Ross.
		Mark Waid: Yeah, pretty much it is and there's all kinds of tribes there and all sorts of warring races and it's a matter of keeping peace and keeping people from being eaten by brontosauruses and that kind of thing.
		Mark Waid: No, the point of going to New York was to track something down, but when he's there he's kind of digging the fact that, first off, in that sort of post-Heroes Reborn reborn when the Avengers and FF aren't around, New York is actually sort of crazy for super heroes.

	COMICON.com: Boy, you should hear Mark Waid!
		Waid has always done some pretty good stuff, but after reading this article it kind of makes me regret even more that I don't have access to any of his recent work.
		Waid's "beef" comes from a tendency for some regulars on those newsgroups to behave in manners which would be completely unacceptable in the real world--for example, saying deliberatly hurtful things about a creator as a person just because they don't like their work.
		Waid is one helluva writer and from this article, a pretty cool guy who really cares about comics.

	Comic Book Galaxy - Pushing Comix Forward Since 2000.
		I had hoped, and probably even expected to be able to take some of the storytelling techniques I had developed over to the JLA with me, always knowing, of course, that it was a different book to THE AUTHORITY, but it proved to be a difficult fit.
		Mark Waid's stories were far more intimate in their approach than I had hereto realized and it took a period of adjustment for both of us as we had very different approaches to storytelling.
		It wasn't the differences in approach between myself and Mark Waid, or for that matter myself and Dan Rasplar that were contributing factors to the limitations and eventual disappointment with my work.

	Bureau 42 \| Mark Waid leaving Fantastic Four
		Mark is one of the most talented guys in the business and I have the utmost respect for what he does, but his departure from FF is now being siphoned through inaccuracies, mistaken impressions and hardcore enthusiasts inability to wait for the whole, real story before slitting their proverbial wrists and launching profanity-ridden grenades.
		Bill called up Mark and asked him personally to steer the book towards a new vision and Mark made it clear that it wasn't a direction that he felt he wanted to write in or was comfortable with.
		I'm in no way saying that Mark is misleading the fans, only that he may be mixing up stories he's heard and judging the new direction on what was a very initial pitch that was circulated over a month ago.

		Waid said his journey was a tough one and that it resulted in a different outlook on superheroes for him.
		Imagine Waid's surprise when DC editorial recently came to him with the project, sort of a "Year One" style story tracking his life from Krypton to his first "big adventure." Waid has said elsewhere that the story is very true to Siegel and Shuster.

		WAID: I would think so, although part of problem with Cap in the slack periods is that he's been so ambiguous and so shaded he has no strength and he comes off as a pontificator and a whiner and a speechifier and that just, that closes in Poughkeepsie on a Saturday night.
		Mark, you're somebody like me, who did a lot of work in the fanzines and kind of broke into the business that way.
		WAID: Yeah, I mean the fact that he has always been able to hold his own alongside a God of Thunder and a guy in super-hip armor and characters who can crush planets with a glance.

		WAID: When it became apparent that the Heroes Reborn deal would last only one year and that Rob's sales were plummetting, Marvel began to talk with Ron and myself about the possibility of returning.
		WAID: Switching gears comes from having a decent amount of time to re-think the character and what might have been missing from the last run.

	Jla: Tower of Babel - Book 7 by Mark Waid, Search Cheap Books, Discount Books, ISBN 156389727X
		This tale, despite the fact that it appears under a different writer in a different run on the title, was almost certainly the inspiration for Mark Waid's excellent "Tower of Babel"; in which two "normal" human beings become the most dangerous adversaries the near-gods of the JLA have ever faced.
		Waid's writing is as character focussed as ever and it is the subtle interplay between the characters both in the foreground and background of the story that shows his ability as a writer to take characters to places where we have rarely seen them before.
		Waid provides a well-reasoned and pragmatic discourse on behalf of Batman when he explains why safeguards were needed should the JLA ever "go bad".

		Citing Waid as someone he knew prior to landing his job at DC, DiDio said that, in his view, Waid is one of the most knowledgeable people on DC, and one of the greatest experts in understanding who our characters are, and what makes them tick.
		For Waid, who’s previously acknowledged that he’d been offered an exclusive contract by DC, the spice that made the deal irresistible this time was the aforementioned editorial role along the same lines as Johns and Morrison.
