I decided early on that ours was going to be a sexist world -- but that Hunter himself was too pragmatic for any of that bullshit. Hunter's not threatened by women. He might be threatened by A woman or two or three, and he will be time and time again, but he's no misogynist. If he was, he couldn't very well take revenge on any women without it being weird, could he?
Hunter also has no interest in fighting sexism -- he has his own fish to fry. It's an interesting line to walk, choosing to interrogate a sexist world, just not through the actions of our main character. I don't know how well we pulled it off, but I'm glad we made the attempt.
I came into comics wanting to make more comics for girls and women. I'm not sure Hunter Black is necessarily that, but those thoughts were in my head and so I put them on the page. Hunter Black isn't meant to tackle "issues," but as a writer -- I am.
