would you say that working on 3W3M, you get up in the evening? Do you feel like you ain't got nothing to say? Perhaps you come home in the morning and go to bed feeling the same way?

Questions for Stephen:

Being the editor on such a unique concept, what are you most excited about?

Did you come to the 3W3M table with any preconceived ideas you might have wanted to let Jon and the Mikes know immediately?

What's your favorite comic of the last 10 years?

Hi Steve, Hi Jon. Thanks for doing this! Three questions: 1) Favorite Jedi. 2) The muppet people would say is most like you. 3) What's the biggest thing you want to see 3w/3m accomplish in the next year? Thanks again you guys.

Looking forward to the livestream! How can a comic writer make their editor's life easier? And vice versa?

Is it possible to make all these Livestreams--including the artist Livestreams--and interviews available as podcasts to paid subscribers? I really appreciated receiving the Grant Morrison chat as a podcast a while back and would love to listen in on all the other conversations, too.

One question what would be a very ambitious thing you would like to do in this project that isn't possible now but might be if this grows? Thanks and if you could put a link to watch later as you do in the drawing sessions

Hi Stephen!

1. Do you think that a 3W/3M podcast in the same vein as the one you worked on with Paul Scheer will be part of your plan here? I truly hope so.

2. What successful core principles that you’ve learned from previous positions as an editor are you implementing into the burgeoning culture & community here?

3. What was the “thing” that convinced you to buy into what 3W/3M is attempting to achieve and made you have to be EIC? And what was the one “thing” that gave you pause before taking that big leap of faith to sign on for the foreseeable future?

What's your wishlist for Substack functionality? Got anything in your brain that's just waiting for a bit more Substack functionality before it can be made real?

Hi Stephen, Thank you for doing this. How did the concept of being EIC for 3W3M come about and was there any hesitation on your part to join such this unique project? Was there any dream editor projects that you had dreamed up either at Marvel or DC that never came to fruition?

Question for Stephen:

Have you had any interesting ideas or insights in how "the path" can be developed? I'm very curious to see how this aspect of the substack can integrate experiences and interactivity with comics. One of my favorite aspects of these substacks have been the experimentation with the medium; and this is one hell of an experiment.

Hey Stephen as an editor, what’s the best advice for pitching? What are you specifically looking for in one?

Will the physical Sourcebook be available for purchase at a later date for free and monthly subscribers?🤔

Are you the world famous Stephen Wacker from Marvel 616?

To your knowledge, are you the first Substack comic book editor? What do you imagine or hope being a pioneer in this field will mean for your legacy?

Chicken or the egg question ... Was it the creators involved or the unfolding world building that were the biggest motivator to get involved with this project ... or is neither and instead the opportunity to get filthy rich?

How much do you get to be involved creating and shaping storylines for 3W3M?

It's been six months since the 3W3M launch, what do you think have been the biggest lessons both creatively and from the business side? What role does the EiC play in the 3W3M world and how does it differ from an editor (or EiC) at a legacy publisher?

Do founding members get a special link for the graphic novel or kind of special check out or something? You got the logistics worked out yet? Just curious.
