From Peter Johnson:
*fistpump*
You know, I don't just love my fandom. I love the pros who are creating the canon, too.
ETA: further down in that comment thread he also says he'll be advocating to DC a complete removal of references to Jo in #3, which I support WHOLEHEARTEDLY.
I am extremely fond of Jo, but a great deal of that fondness comes from the fact that she is young (younger than Sam), a rookie, a brassy kid fighting with her parent and wanting to dive in and get to it, clunky and amateur in so many aspects of her life. I LOVE it. That just doesn't work for me if she's Dean's age.
DOUBLE HOORAY!
As you may know from previous posts, I felt early on that there would be creative and character-driven value to seeing John get the Impala during his journey in the aftermath of Mary's death. It was a decision, and Kripke and I talked about it. However, I'm in violent agreement with many of your comments that the car is the third character in the show, and that it represents a sanctuary for this family following the death of Mary. I like it as the constant that remains after her death - as Mousitsa (Anna) puts it: 'baby' was there to support her three men after the fire.
These comments have made profound impact, and I agree wholeheartedly with the thematics they represent for the SN universe - for both TV and comics. So, despite the fact that #1 and #2 have both been published, I am going to propose making adjustments to revert to John already having the Impala from the get-go when the issues are collected into the trade paperback. I would like to restore this notion to the comics. I believe in my heart and gut that it would be the correct version, not just to match the shot of John and the boys of the hood of the Impala in the pilot teaser, but much more importantly, for what the car represents in the continuity of the family -- before and after Mary's death. I'll be talking to DC about this on Monday.
