Interview - Nicole Maines talks Suicide Squad: Dream Team #1 out March 12 (artist Eddy Barrows) and Bad Dream: A Dreamer Story TPB out April 2 (artist Rye Hickman)

1. Nicole Maines, thank you for being on the AIPT comics podcast for the second time! Nathan and I are big Dreamer fans and have been greatly anticipating your graphic novel for some time, but to start, Suicide Squad: Dream Team is out March 12, can you talk about putting together this very unique lineup for the team?
2. You’re so good at capturing the different voice of each character, I particularly liked Waller, how do you approach writing dialogue?
3. Dreamer is still getting acquainted with her powers, some of which we get to see in new ways thanks to Eddy Burrows in the first issue. Is her acclimation to her powers a central part of her character growth?
4. Shifting gears to Bad Dream, a true origin story for our hero, was there a guiding light as far as its focus and tone?
5. We’re Galaxy stans here at AIPT. Tell us about your convos with Jadzia Axelrod when it came time to incorporate Taylor in the book! How fun was it writing Kat, Yvette, and Taylor?
6. The ball in Bad Dream is one of the most joyful things I’ve seen in a comic book. Did you draw on any of your own experiences in building a found family or friend group in this section of the book?
7. Did you and Rye do a lot of back and forth coming up with the unbelievable outfits and crowd scenes here? Take us through your collaboration in general! The dream sequences are gorgeous too.
8. If Bad Dream was a song, what would it be and why?
