OriginWatch: Where do Daytripper storylines come from? Author Fábio Moon explains;
Popular celebrations are a big part of Brazilian culture and many popular festivities take place on open air, in the streets, in parks, in beaches and rivers. We wanted Brás to experience one of those popular festivities, be part of something bigger than himself, somewhere where he would be a stranger discovering things at the same time as the reader, and we knew, as we started to think what could Brás do and where could he go, that we would take the young and hopeful Brás to Salvador for Iemanjá's day. Fiction inspired by real experiences.

Millar Time: Superheroes Take On The Arthouse | The Skinny
I think they've always been desperate for ideas. The place burns on them; it's the fuel that keeps Hollywood going. If an idea makes money, they will keep using it till it dries up, and so far superhero movies have been getting bigger and bigger. This year you've got three or four major ones that are going to make a lot of money, but next year it's going to get crazy. You've got the sequel to The Dark Knight, which will make a billion dollars; and there's a brilliant team behind this Spider-Man reboot, that'll be colossal; and you've got The Avengers movie, which looks like it'll be the biggest of the lot.
Exclusive: J. Michael Straczynski Talks About…Well, Everything » MTV Geek
First, you have to look at the math. The next volume of Superman: Earth One is going to be about 110 pages, give or take. I started writing it in December, and it's due by the end of February. 110 pages equals 5 monthly comics of 22 pages.
