Segment: Interview with Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad, and Jorge Corona about Batgirls!

Batgirls #1 comes out 12/14, I wanted to start by asking each of you, can you sum up the vibe of the series in 1 word?
Becky and Michael, you've been collaborating for some time, what is your writing process like? How do you break story, write dialogue, as a team?
Jorge, I've reviewed a few of the Batgirls backups and I've equated your work to graffiti, and lo and behold there is literal graffiti in the first issue! Do you have a background in tagging?
Seer is an interesting hacker character, are there specific characters in fiction, or people in your life, you drew on to characterize him?
I understand you've been building up towards this series in the backup stories, but how long has the idea for this series been percolating?
Who do you enjoy writing the most, Cassandra Cain, Stephanie Brown, or Barbara Gordon?
I really dig the splatter effect seen throughout the book, what materials are you working with Jorge?
The splashy page where Stephanie says "Let's Rumble" is so badass, Jorge, do you have a favorite page from the first issue?
Sarah Stern's colors are incredible, why the effort to make Gotham so much more bright?
Becca Carey's letters are also strong, what is your process like working with her?
The opening issue makes note that the Batgirls are set up on The Hill est. 1635, is there any significance in the age of the area?
What comics are you reading right now?
