"Okay, while that might have been cool to mix that in, I think what's really cool about this is that all the talent involved from the writers to artists are tackling characters who have been out there for some time now and that with the history and continuity we have established, we can actually have an interesting mix of nostalgia and brand spanking new energy,” Lee said. “Each writer made sure to retain some link to the past, friendly nods to the past if you will but are exploring fresh new territory. It's a really wide diverse lineup and we are even bringing in new talent like Christos Gage, a terrific writer who worked on Law and Order: SVU and letting him cut loose on StormWatch. So along with Christos, we have a bevy of accomplished name talent such as Gail Simone (Gen 13), Brian Azzarello (Deathblow), Garth Ennis (Midnighter), Mike Carey (Wetworks), and of course, Grant Morrison who I will be working with on WildCats, and who's writing The Authority. On the art front, we have equally dynamic creators such as Doug Mahnke (StormWatch), Talent Caldwell (Gen 13), Carlos D'Anda (Deathblow), Chris Sprouse (Midnighter), Whilce Portacio (Wetworks), Gene Ha (The Authority) and me, if I can presume to add myself to that list (WildCats)."
