In November of 2013 Multiversitycomics.com asked Dennis Hopeless:

You started off on creator-owned. Do you see in the future going back in that direction, or do you look at is as really enjoying your Marvel work and balance it with creator-owned?

Hopeless: I’d love to do some more creator-owned. I love working at Marvel, and I can pay my bills working at Marvel so it is a lot easier doing it that way. This past year I took on a lot of work all at once when I was fairly new to doing it for a living. My first six months freelancing I got two ongoings right after doing my first Marvel work. It was a really stressful year from a schedule standpoint because I had never done that as a big boy before.

Now that has cooled off a little bit and I can write my script a week and do it as a job and get up in the morning and put pants on (laughter). Now I’m starting to think of doing more creator-owned and going back…I have lots of plates spinning, projects I was planning on doing before Marvel came calling. I will do those as I continue to do Marvel work over the next few years.

Comic Vine asked Dennis Hopeless about Spider-Woman:

What is the new Spider-Woman series about?

Hopeless: The life and times of Jessica Drew. She’s the Spider-Woman. Ha.

The thing is, it’s hard to say too much about the series until after Spider-Verse comes to a close. Which side will win? Which characters will survive? So much rests on the outcome.

During the event, Spider-Woman is Jessica’s war journal. She’s a soldier in this big crazy war and we’re following her as she bounces across the multi-verse running missions with fellow spider-folk.
