I just got these from someone who asked to be anonymous but who asked questions that are pretty easy to answer…
Before Jack's Fourth World series, he had a lot of character designs he had created without being quite sure if, where, or how they would appear. But months prior to joining DC, did he have any conception of the overarching idea of the New Gods and then retrofitted some of these earlier characters into the saga?
Yes.
If so, was the idea of the New Gods initially conceived as a possible evolution of where the Thor comic might go –- or did he realize that Marvel wasn't likely to discontinue or change a successful comic?
Both.
