" War."

" This episode of -- is brought to you by godaddy.com. And netflix.com. And just like quite heavily Docomo of course men of the hour Geoff Johns is here. It's it's a big day for you this exhibit flash rebirth comes out yum you're rebirth and yet again. My second child. I'm so -- we know little about what you thought it -- a flash in the whole universe is right now and and where you want to take it going forward with this."

" The state of the universe right now. I think it's been a little bit you know. The last few years ago and it. This way that way and left and right turns. And I'm looking to kind of follow at a street road. And bring a whole universe back up. In a similar fashion to green lantern. But very differently is is there is Margaret torn and in that works pretty well right that's the but the series. --"

" Since most people not look like he really cost I've never actually had. Barry as their flash I mean it's been 2030 years since since ground accident flash you know how much did you know about it Alice how do you approach him as being different."

" Well I well I mean everything group of all. While while it's yours but I -- McEnroe very and and collected all that stuff. -- comics. But very down very much of likely you can get. He -- it. Kind of the modern age story telling here listed even how Jordan had him on that redefine -- character. I mean -- one man steals a turret presses one woman flash very on that. So part of rebirth is going back in his past and seen we was euphoria by lightning. What drove him to elect. Forensic science. Wiser past justice. Where the vote I what was what was that about tied. There's an obituary of time and -- And just getting into although the minutia and the the bigger things that who this guy really was because all we know it -- figure it sacrificed himself leader I think these rumors. But was he you know he was still human he's the guy. And so part of rebirth is peeling back the layers in. Sensing the man man. So so who is it. How would you describe. Areas opposed to Wally. I think the first is pretty intense guy. He's very focused on is a very strong sense of justice of -- law you know you you actually let the rogues. -- there -- friends you know he is understanding the -- told you they respected me. And that's the biggest you know treatment via the world gather these guys scum bags who murders his line of good about it there's does ambler. -- something that that there is a very. Kind of almost are case sensitive justice. And it comes from and be forensic scientists that the fact that your your your not guilty which there is no between. And and that's. That's something of the export laws vary and then the other side of it is it is his intensity. When he focuses on getting something done he's extremely focused. We pick them up in a weird place where he fields. If you every second matters we can never be again. And -- and that's kind of the things -- can arguing against -- in the game I'm gonna run out again. But he also back saying well everything's okay before back -- feels that there's something wrong something Mets. Come on his return let's. I mean -- Great now it is a lot on. He's not be so fun well he's he's. He's a very. Fair I think he's very intriguing character right now but. He's still -- office and he's not a man with this time but he as a man who thinks it in past him. And he's trying to find his way I think. The sort rebirth is really -- reverse that she met his humanity more than -- and the actual physical."

" War. So -- I think character. Immigrant -- like cares more recent agreement but. The flash to me is is the character I think that the most its associate with your name here because sort of you came up with a flashlight I guess in a way -- building a wall during that time and and that's a lot about the use I think. -- how how does it feel to come back to that world so so heavily did you feel like you were done with a before in."

" And no I get it I never was there marijuana left the first thought the book but my favorite character. I was has been our efforts but the book. I was very happy with how things went -- Because. There's there's there's certain things I want to do. And -- very -- coming back it's totally different character that no more west but characters and missing from the universe and playing off of instead of a guy who's filling in someone loses a guy is doing speed and the consequences these. And getting wrote back and central city America would be really focusing on -- it with centrist it was iris will go up and iris Allen a and and a lot of -- but it was a little bit like coming home. And trying to Qaeda figure out how likely it felt like the last time I did it I was kind of playing in it and a single room. And playing around and now I can. We built the house. So to speak to."

" Do you think you or. I mean are you are you better just like like coming back and now do you -- we're not mean I I think so but what would you commit that you feel like I've been more self confidence and then when you were -- building up the sort of flat out well if."

" If I didn't think I can do better than I did I wouldn't come. I I think I look at all the work I've done for the stuff that that I think -- not really well the stuff I do think didn't turn out when it really well. And trying to figure out what my. What my strikes are what might weaknesses are trying to. Learn and and grow and and its first craftsman. And I just trying -- I going to try to progress I hope this is better than my first issue flash I would."

" Yet it is I think what that -- is that -- Now and you -- it's diver on this I've heard him talk on podcasts and things about. Like when you guys work together it's very intense and Imus is that like last time it's time yet to know if that likes how -- out of that process work you guys very collaborative."

" really collaborate and we get kind of manic but I'm a little bit manic already about this stuff. I immerse myself I'm in New York right now it is because you're doing like this item I want to kinda completely. Completely. Block out everything else in my life except for pockets -- makes him crazy. But the same thing to recommend an actor yeah. Yes and it's strange. Vote flash immersing myself in this and he thing when Eric via Easton. We cracked their -- so and we talk about this stuff and there's so much subversive like Ethan puts an awful lot of that layer of art on top of -- and that will make us and make and that's in the books agreement rebirth of some mean things. That the reader will never receive a better there there's this one grape and on beaver where the first time as Spector -- there. Takes black pants and -- way witches. So like that takes the black and it's anyway. It is it is -- report is Antarctica. And -- the first and there's something different but even though putting -- His chances -- actually everything everything about the entire stories and she wanted -- magnifying glass and and how much of that stuff. Do you write in there planet with him you know average a lot of a lot of its collaborated but he Q will at a certain. There's certain details comes up with there's actually on this congress. He did that. I couldn't believe he did it on the cover. But it's it won't make any sense until the series is over but. -- He's -- very. But aren't you guys I mean. You clash a lot of ideas and he's come up with something people really like now -- now we just explore every avenue we kind of talked various Eric in. We get really ambitious with our ideas -- probably sometimes too ambitious and have -- Watson mean. Keep focusing on -- Program I think there actor. It's the scope can be gigantic we can have them spectrum. That's doing this."

" Bomb so if you're crushing the book for the first time you know like I'm going to do plaster -- it's going to be the return area on how that works in the universe. What where you start I guess what comes first you register -- thing about people you haven't minorities are coming up with stories immediately I think about the character first."

" Who very allies for this one is a very important helps or not I -- in. There's some as Baxter was are you really set in stone but here Alan I thought more about who he is where it's coming from I think it is the way he is before attacking the story and then also thinking well. There's a lot of things a controversial return that's you know that's your that's. I think first and foremost very controversial returns to this rebirth had to be almost the exact opposite of the national -- where it was kind controversial. Death yet you know it's making -- and her oxygen and killing them so very Allen's death is is by all accounts one of the greatest test and comics though and very controversial to bring backs of the book have to be counter. Counterculture to. To that it has to be very Allen returning is a bad thing for the five -- exploring wall is it why. What's he mean to these characters -- react. And then go in that story from there and everything kind of falls in place from Aaron I have very strong opinions on what I think. Set up or press for each one of these characters and where I'm gonna take them but. But really -- light comes on character comes down to who very Allen is just like with green then revert to strip -- all -- it always is about a guy overcoming fear."

" To me I think that your -- I want to get your completely your greatest talents and on seems to be that you were really able to take these extremely complicated. Sort of concepts all Wisconsin nearly all the stuff you've really -- to boiling down to the very essential nature even reading the flash your birth today like. Straightaway -- in the first 45 pages you told me exactly who -- was what was going on what was going on you know it behind him for all that stuff is really civil is that. Essentially you really think a lot that come naturally -- you."

" Summit comes naturally to me. If I can't communicate easily with the characters. And why why characters that we are. And -- pro yeah I just believe that. If if I'm telling the story and you don't know that guy is why he's doing here. Where he's coming from and I've I've not telling the story about a -- the caricature. But biggest -- since there is like right away there -- like -- again. Mary Alice on the lot of people well. Like people known as the guide and so it's my job to. To rebuild and then and also explain it but. In in a way that really it. Everyone he everyone needs more time answer something for. Everyone's everyone's on Twitter I usually can tell your -- you 2000 your friends at the same time for lunch and you know there was got -- and got email -- you know on cellphones now. I do -- the the and every everything's about Spiezio went faster cars are moving faster. You know got to get to work faster right I'm -- time for this I -- people -- on the time I think priced at one today eleven of and that's something I want to explore. With -- Who can move this fast and still doesn't have enough time because there will never be enough. -- doesn't -- that means."

" How do the pressure for a project like this in that. Expectations in this book expectations for the blackest night don't really high I mean you're sort of suppressed and I don't wave here like you had. Excellent hook up extra bucks for spending you're just re did the origin of how Jordan. Yeah it really you know pretty spectacular fashion what do you think about best -- you try to stay off the message boards you know."

" I I. It's always there's always pressure but when you're working in continuity as well let's pressure I mean if I wanted. You know volunteer it's it's gonna do -- world. Five story. I like challenges I Merrill Mike -- teen titans and Mike Coleman textiles. And he's smart people so we don't says it can be we lost teen titans and said that's definitely -- careers over. This at the same thing to meet because they realized something times and I think we -- okay and then who should go girl. On that and Hubert. Franken. Green lantern primaries and struggled. And and says. That what you finally got it done it sounds this is the book that's going to destroy your career. But if -- for if I don't think ever ever done how Jordan Larry Bird or. I want to follow -- on the fly through. If I was worried about that so you see that talent he'd say bring it on. Three and on the I'd rather try and not try -- you know I I'd I'd rather. Be ambitious and and try and tell stories believe in a project that nothing's going to be great talents -- going to thrive on challenge here."

" Now you say that there are there are seeds for blackest night from all the way back into rebirth like so how how far ahead -- you plan -- when. When did you start planning blackest night like when does that start."

" With a seeds are in rebirth I mean obviously there's that audio and completely formulate an actress and green lantern but it grew organically is that move forward. But it started very early on him. Just like semester course -- prettier and yet. I just plot far ahead in mama the books. I just I just look at you must have what 67 years as private warriors but it's not that hard like Schiavo is it is just -- down a dog that's going to take it the issue right. Okay but you know and they need to start start to build and everything changed. I just like the -- long form."

" As well as short form. It because of it make more sense not to what you're probably position because they wanted to do this for this long -- is okay but like when you're when you're I suppose less established is sort of."

" While flash or for some of them flash because I hope I can news story line but they might -- But as I I I quickly disabled autumn is going to go forward if I don't if there but I there's got permanent position where I know I'm under contract so I know well. I'll plug on this book for at least this blank. And that's you know some some crazy thing happens which. Which you never know but. Just always. I -- the -- and confidence ballot to dedicate myself to care for them but green lantern if I go on 306 issues. I don't know it is now lot of rebuilding to do there then and for me it's it takes longer to. To get into to every corner of the franchise with a --"

" The world is that what you really like to do listed. Building hailed it world -- But Jason got some Camby because I could self building and you care if you did have a lot of characters but I think they thought the sort of the others have all these characters and then. Really. You did you make it work which I was so strange John Ellis but he -- third down that the essence and I didn't feel like you were skipping around a lot. Happening utility got everything you want it to him in in GSA."

" I have more stories by. I I I'm taking I'm actually I left to say I'm probably would stay longer but. I'd rather the vice story ideas for that book then I've been on the book for a long time. Like -- is coming adventure comics flash. Green land and it's like that's full slate for me and I didn't want to if I could meet Jason if I configured a direction that I was going to be really. Great and dedicate all my focus to it that I thought was better fight the fight concentrated on on continue green lantern. And watch."

" How are how things differently now like say in 2000 like like. Mean when you go to a con you get -- you -- panel's -- people roomful of people here you know you. For any on some of the biggest characters -- yeah how's it different working now and that was that."

" I don't know I don't know it's still feels like this same and a little lot of ways I think I'm better at it. Felt different II and IIAK. It takes longer write a book. Really yeah absolutely because I -- a lot harder on my plotting in. I think Obama comes from working out 52 because I'm 52 and that I need five page for this mr. Goldstein and they do -- you got three I can't do it in theory. I was like issued to via -- entry page and the five -- got three. And I have to work hard oh I can do it. And throughout 52 wasn't just -- you create scenes are longer than shorting them but also realistic was so valuable. You could only do be -- that may be homeless bombings so. How meticulous arguing actually do desperate people do you plot everything out very images if you're an -- and script yeah. It's like that cards -- you outlines I do I use my -- keys are much if you open up my computer and you look at my sticky you'll see you like it breakdowns of like thirty issues of stuff that just -- get notes and hire -- about them. Yeah I get really meticulous with at all and I like reference to reference crazy things to be if -- reference like freaking. Some obscure character like. Some obscure island put him in the book I want won't be drawn right or so ago reference -- but I also. But a game comics -- realistic comics is currently you'll have twenty -- so you know story and I'm always. Writing over have to go back and see. -- As he says is you go forward do you find that you're filling those pages with more than having to take more out. For. It's very. Challenging -- To fit everything I want and an occasion after just remember that if it's not prepared to care for them expect. That's kind of like I've got scenes on the on the cutting room floor from books that'll never be that just had with doubt these four -- still. They don't progressive they're cool wouldn't be difficult part of the story that they're not impaired sight to the throw away so."

" So -- itself yet. On the -- is that you like to bill world like to do that this house important you look like you've got characters like you know Susan steelers' starter illicitly Fed their. Part of the universe we're going to -- around it that's partly to you you want to have that legacy like you have that that we're those characters you meter living on --"

" I just want to be able to read it justice America and the time Lawton. Hopefully those characters thrive in. But. But being on introducing here's Alex's amenities. -- characters and let them he has some of them probably stick stick round and some of them all. It's always when -- and start girls especially. Post my art but start ups and -- books of people right right. --"

" What's to a couple of questions -- out there. And then that whatever question."

" I am amazed at us for our question. Today's tech are right can handle one book me gently multiple books. Keep those stories strong entry after question like you asked how -- you -- out. And your -- it isn't news network and also appeared. Will want to."

" And I have is that I'm only working in these numbers status like here -- here -- so I'm consumers that he's -- I got a pretty rigid. It is that I've I've got a pretty frigid pretty rigid work schedule like I we're like around 97 almost every day and I just enjoy -- so."

" Don't ever find myself I mean it's always there's a lot of work to be done by. I'm pretty happy college. But I don't get wires crossed the sale this week and -- This week O lantern. That your comments or more. So my lawyers she's you know be crossed elect blackest night it's actually nice to a complex agreement flash at the same time -- hound terrier and -- so. As I'm getting to know there -- more more and rebirth. It helps informing him like this night. There's. Fit within these numbers and so I think working in these results. And the moment it. Just something. Like here working on. The right amount of stuff for announced it would YouTube a lot of script that we can I guess -- most of -- but I only have one of the book right now on them. But let let's let's -- 52 people after the everything's fine I did 52 plus like three books a month I can handle anything. As Graham -- is like fifty Q after that as a detox. Yeah what we are actually going to Vegas for weekend. Statistically rare horse. Was awesome but the there's a good time I forgot about comets are few days and pretty much everything it. It was fun. I'm -- ED need to kind of you take breaker once. But whenever like -- that we can start driving me when I'm driving mr. right story. You always -- a notebook review it now I don't I really everything up here in. So fast and wonder kid. That another question. That."

" I got to give you get a great I would say well we've very. You. And counseling on good -- in the past have you -- writing a green light and this small."

" Not really. -- It. On. A couple of questions sort of what could be here so on. Six -- wants to know what writers outside of comics inspired you most my most my biggest -- screenwriters Brian Howland has -- confidence and conspiracy theory. I think he's an amazing screenwriter. Probably. Probably my favorite writers out there but he's a big influence on. Structures. Are you when you like watch a movie are you totally like that -- yes I'm going to watch it yet. It's hard because you can't help it because it's like if you you know you've built houses when you law announced it -- ago. And that so you that's kind of the attitude to almaty. But mostly screenwriters there's screeners. -- Mean -- It a lot of scripts -- school re do you view laser printers right. That if that -- prose writers like but there's no writers leave the stuff I've read and throws most most non fiction. I think back and enjoy that stuff more leisure is like how likely you know. Political answer or spirituality votes. True crime books. Here's a guy named John Douglas who pulled. Few books and -- process but I I don't really read a whole lot of pros. It's fiction because I just can't it is but. The -- of like every reference books written Rutgers. It's you know no comments read their books thirty fiction you can enjoy you have guilty pleasures. My guilty pleasures -- obvious stuff like you know doll. -- books -- all the kids books -- for example blues but that stuff so it's one that all the world to elect see it loses. What's the question."

" I was you know I was let -- working -- Other writers like come. He's like. 52 guys yeah Richard Donner. We'll."

" Your big collaborator yeah I like collaboration because it's. It's fun. This should be fun. Books. It's it's for me to best job in the world and to work on. Work on it with bite my friends like James Robinson. Collaborating with -- when you know we don't work in the same boat but we just talking general. The 52 guys are some of the most. They're more my favorite writers. Prior to that and America right after that grant Morrison's. Definite -- com. And -- huge influence on me. And -- your friend of mine and Martin Greg -- is the same ways and Iowa and mark wade and I like them because they're the -- stuff so different from -- what stories it differently. And collaborating like that you learn. And I probably learned more and that your running at 52 and in. In anywhere else -- sum total career."

" Use them now. With -- to get this first but it James James event -- originally I'd I was shooting it felt like here Don just school. And in ambulances peep from DC. I gave him to this and as such and Richard waters off the -- myself and down. They say hey you comics. Moment that you -- to something here ideas but a year later. -- stars and stripes but man but yeah I mean it's clear if I mean it's. Also you know I think -- being little but just more polite thing I've got an idea and I was so busy adding I thought well maybe out. If I come as something out of pitching something and about a year later it starts right. I'd I'd have the united met James Robinson in LA and I met and actually it's remember what an icon yeah yeah we -- and common. When I was in college amendment colonize price nineteen. And lots Darman and we just talked over half an hour hour and and we became friends and moved to go -- To honor. I am no way we -- struck a friendship in and about a year after. Meant to be put these -- accounts idea for star struck because I want you. Pretty superior for girls. Because it -- interest in having all the super super super girl wonder girl back girl nobody had their own legacy. One victory Sunday that my sister who passed away. A year earlier want to create something that she would like. And so a human resources drive which is if anyone does note sure what people don't have pretty obscure book. It's about a girl finds out her stepfather. Psychic to a superior. And so she becomes that's that a new version of his old partner to make a map. And it's as step fathers that daughters of routine and a -- to Jameson. He really liked it. Give me some pointers. -- and the guys DC and Mike Carlin and named -- him. Really enjoyed it might or Ringo true picture of there's bankrupted and the first picture ever. I have a friend in my office like an awesome god. Might that might finish at some point and so anyway it's it's and it was mostly mini series and an -- to monthly. Before they -- to you which some might mean had you thought about. Writing comics professionally. On a little bit but I was so concentrated film and being assistant director. Not yet the so that was like ninety hour week job. Those five -- one to do so when asked about I'm did you come by. And they bought that and I thought -- these -- construct for fun. Just for fun and then. And James that -- today and meg lawyer a lawyer because investments there's. And course James you -- brokerages. Issued theory I'd have a comic. I guess. -- was -- this. And so I got into it and I learned about where. For those first two years and then start start with getting canceled that was lineup is correct it's lawyers and and to cut Cutler called. Flash but here character exits exit visas that your tournaments script. -- But. And then for America that's what I really mean that's really focused on. I really enjoy it. Bouncing working for Donner and writing fly ash and it is today. And that does tomorrow work. And years. And than I got offered -- man. And that's. It all. How how many years. He did that from. Obvious. -- and -- three years and I did that were to ever goes jobs. And then eventually. And move on from ours which is very hard because it could that mean. And an and I signed PCs are focused my energies they felt like on that humans of this -- Really dedicate myself to -- and that's so. From another question are those are realized that's that's -- stand up --"

" So in Finland and we've seen countless. Is he didn't try every morning become. And fuel might and theory. -- and completely."

" Possibly."

" you really want to know what's going to happen at."

" It is one from user called Alan -- it wanted to know. What is the most difficult scene or comic we've had to write and then and then what would be single moment that you've got the most excited about like -- the thing you most proud of it's about a different things I think one of the most difficult things to -- was. The deficit board could use my second favorite character from a long time next to -- five cents -- So killing him really."

" But really really really hard come and it was hard because. I felt it when I did it didn't and so when I wrote that scene in Monroe. His way signal universe and he says last signs like yet cast is cool and neat guys here. As like I just sat -- keyboard to prosper. It -- did you -- yourself up -- And aka terrorism this. But. That was tough there's a lot of heart scenes there's actually read flash -- three -- the last. Half that was really emotional for me. Agreement between five and how. Makes Leo this it is. When I was -- it house is tone is like master like these for you guys are coming coast that you guys that everybody evacuate that city. And he says well here -- and the policies. And houses. Looks adamantly. Just tell it where -- respect. And so we -- back for something like that is likely yeah it and then and then -- it and and how does look -- brother. And then they com I'll fly it to be passed. And house says. Thinks that house that held a family house. And sees it double Pittsburgh them why the glowing -- city and that's that's that's super publicity about fear for me that was very. Powerful because her for how. I felt for Allen the traffic that came full circle of failing to -- destroyed these people. And then seeing it rebuilds. And seeing the faith of Pakistan. That in plain that they believed in him and that allowed in to believing himself overcome fear that's how that one -- was saying runaway. And that's something that can character so that's seen as really proper because the culmination for media. Of his hired Ernie -- And his family. How how long. -- that's the end of what it's like how long it went on -- short screen got an island where. And -- went up the next six years. Well -- my my my focus my focus really right now is how how. How Jordan manners are very. So that's from my folks."

" How does George pros are doing on on me to and three world this -- report should be out. It's beautiful."

" It's it's number four is done I think as of tomorrow. And should be out in about. I don't want to promise anything I'm guessing and hoping three weeks. For weeks maybe because it goes of the Brenner and you know that's the other stuff but it's is supposed to be done message. Six weeks. About six weeks and then issue five. Will probably be shipped. Every ship in June at some point. The."

" There's by discussions about that and -- comics to. But. This is a comic book that. On the EC to work towards putting into the pages and you can't deny he's not playing you know called him before he's he's drawn the book. And while -- call yeah. And and George is such a master and I think he's proven himself for the years that. Hopefully -- know they're they're worth the wait I think there are alone makes them the way. And this stuff we have come up and his core five is pretty pretty killer. It feeds and everything else I'm doing which is cool it has its own story on its own but. If you Ford really. Really respect actors by farmers the best issue once -- I mean by it's -- you you grew up. When you know George -- was -- but at that time he was the big name in an artist was like to work with these guys now. For you mean. It's for -- its its crazies I mean he's master storyteller you know get more professional mess so. To you. You know. You give him all this insanity -- and does it and makes it bears in yeah -- hope so. Any any six emotion its its nice you never forget about it's about emotions and that's why like -- so much because it's very emotional book but. It's it's a thrill it an honor to work with -- I am innocent that would that would you're having our time in your game I mean you're always -- Turret -- and the script so. Casserly are speaking -- and also it's got a feeling it's gonna go to the strengths and also my strength so. Region through worlds -- story line that if anyone's reading it to the Julian characters that are only George to draw that. On top of that though I want to make sure -- an emotional right these guys you see the story arc if you look at lightning lies hurt your minions at some. You -- five is. Probably the most indirect he's got to bring it fires yelling at someone thinks he's an idiot -- old. Yeah Alan thinks he can since fassel time and they always arguing that's not the right thing and maggots get Erica. And and and at the end of there's there's some -- of them you know entry world but. My my my goal review that book was -- crisis story in the 30% who also make sure it was news. Story these characters people. That was -- back there somewhere I think. Before."

" I was just wondering home of blacks aren't and you had a big. Here in the -- anything anymore."

" You'll see when you you'll see two. Living entities. One -- I'd just be referenced and she 43 C you know -- Not exactly right. Whether rejected. -- turn colors elect we decided not to get involved now now. I've heard that before the -- it was like it was dark blue -- it's a bit -- generators if you start with a note -- out -- none out because I didn't want like in all honesty. The simple fact is like Reggie did there agree knows that it. A silent movie and -- and also I'd want to have a million collared. So where the you know and someday tenuous enough of it off a look at communities as searchers lanterns and -- but -- hopefully they hopefully they won't -- some. But no I was -- because it was very neo greens for me the fulcrum. So three on either end the fighting -- screen. But it was never going to be more than ample.

And -- disciplined well dose of the word for greed and avarice that's Sonko oranges. Yes it's. -- he says he'll believe. Odds are that's for that came from an agent orange is actually actually turn out my favorite characters he's kind of -- the cross between a dirty myopic and night. And mica a looney tunes care I. It's really bizarre that one of the first time Al meats and he's like OX companies that he's at least at this long -- is under -- thousand. House kind of tied up with a -- that would mean. I really bother me just here's -- in the rose to tackle these. Although it's true that counties these guys -- agreement -- and then goes ammo and I yeah I mean it would tell me these stories like -- or your scripts. Like action descriptions for release -- Depends on the scene of they can be. And their once wrote. For Scott -- on flash it was a one panel keystone city was to -- description. You'll allow more working and -- no it's just like saying this is what keys since it is all about this is what should we should remember -- next time I'd do the script I said savage jockeys don't it's sunny. Because and you would you party like that is so it really depends like on the -- fly description read you know -- cold at the all these guys that commitment and throughout the drinking -- You know he mugs because there drugs and all this other stuff so it depends like if I'm just concerned about there's -- with an artist -- description then there's that on because then.

So I don't know it makes sense to do another one I don't think it does. I'm not really interest in another rebirth and I also don't think you can get much better than how Jordan and and Barry Allen. I mean it's a whole different animal. But. Who knows her knows Bachmann."

" Another question that a website Edward said on in one world and -- Justice society are you had you played a little with the format of the traditional like monthly comic it was special then there's anything happens happens at the Superman titles.

Is certain books you you know like obviously going to collect 353 -- it and trade is just no you know it's a question about it. With -- say it's a -- a break you know -- know we're gonna break I think there's more. On the in writing comics artist -- them. There is more play for format I like the weekly formats really interesting. Which you do it again. Depends on the project -- that but that's to be really cool. And with the right people -- causes causes like cooperation. Well -- like specials one shots and things just shake it up a little bit so it's not the same same thing -- I also enjoyed books that are extra -- like Sylvester grows to four pages. And I love that because a lot of room to do everything I wanted. Blacks by one is like doubles -- so close to it so it gives you. The same way so -- if you. It gives you more and more play with but I like mixing with format actually comics angles. A year ago where we have a lot of countries. Which is is an electrical -- The more people -- school if I worked on one but one try to I was just we're currently -- probably be doing on ancillary. It's. Is -- an Obama question."

" Where you -- and who are please okay and I'll tell ya got that name. -- dare you you will remind you and you're out it was. Even."

" A bit everything yeah I've been everything. And they had to be --"

" How me down."

Got a pretty close -- and the guys that are going to do anything like decisively in the hours Cecile -- of us. Written about."

" I'm just gonna beat you for the bankers and easy to vehicles like -- I can't talk post but this. But but."

" This question."

" And Richard Roberts. --"

" It's among the comic it it it will have more than one as one lead. And you'll have other characters that -- and -- yet but it it'll be it'll be adventure comics of the variety of stuff but it does have a lead character. And then in one must question of."

" From from the time you actually write scripts in tiger finishes -- it was on things in place your personal life to get new ideas. You know things happen in the news so how -- does he's for change from the time you think -- when -- get into. --"

" After derided and then it goes to production it doesn't change them much. Sometimes -- he just because the art of the different and daughters visit different emotionally from the line that most armistice agreements that same. I mean after him guns they always are Bosnia and evolving before that right then but -- and treatment. You know barring -- from Anders that you -- weaker. ITT ardently as authority -- much that it at a time. I think about stuff so far in advance that once. But there's certain scenes at once right now and I know that doesn't seem fun -- capping called issue flash in the years ago. -- that this whole issue in my head for. Probably year after where road so I wrote Monday on."

" And with that relief I think it's probably good time to stop the parts so thanks so much thanks I was totally. Yet now find him he's got another camera."

" War."

" This episode of -- is brought to you by godaddy.com. And netflix.com. And just like quite heavily Docomo of course men of the hour Geoff Johns is here. It's it's a big day for you this exhibit flash rebirth comes out yum you're rebirth and yet again. My second child. I'm so -- we know little about what you thought it -- a flash in the whole universe is right now and and where you want to take it going forward with this."

" The state of the universe right now. I think it's been a little bit you know. The last few years ago and it. This way that way and left and right turns. And I'm looking to kind of follow at a street road. And bring a whole universe back up. In a similar fashion to green lantern. But very differently is is there is Margaret torn and in that works pretty well right that's the but the series. --"

" Since most people not look like he really cost I've never actually had. Barry as their flash I mean it's been 2030 years since since ground accident flash you know how much did you know about it Alice how do you approach him as being different."

" Well I well I mean everything group of all. While while it's yours but I -- McEnroe very and and collected all that stuff. -- comics. But very down very much of likely you can get. He -- it. Kind of the modern age story telling here listed even how Jordan had him on that redefine -- character. I mean -- one man steals a turret presses one woman flash very on that. So part of rebirth is going back in his past and seen we was euphoria by lightning. What drove him to elect. Forensic science. Wiser past justice. Where the vote I what was what was that about tied. There's an obituary of time and -- And just getting into although the minutia and the the bigger things that who this guy really was because all we know it -- figure it sacrificed himself leader I think these rumors. But was he you know he was still human he's the guy. And so part of rebirth is peeling back the layers in. Sensing the man man. So so who is it. How would you describe. Areas opposed to Wally. I think the first is pretty intense guy. He's very focused on is a very strong sense of justice of -- law you know you you actually let the rogues. -- there -- friends you know he is understanding the -- told you they respected me. And that's the biggest you know treatment via the world gather these guys scum bags who murders his line of good about it there's does ambler. -- something that that there is a very. Kind of almost are case sensitive justice. And it comes from and be forensic scientists that the fact that your your your not guilty which there is no between. And and that's. That's something of the export laws vary and then the other side of it is it is his intensity. When he focuses on getting something done he's extremely focused. We pick them up in a weird place where he fields. If you every second matters we can never be again. And -- and that's kind of the things -- can arguing against -- in the game I'm gonna run out again. But he also back saying well everything's okay before back -- feels that there's something wrong something Mets. Come on his return let's. I mean -- Great now it is a lot on. He's not be so fun well he's he's. He's a very. Fair I think he's very intriguing character right now but. He's still -- office and he's not a man with this time but he as a man who thinks it in past him. And he's trying to find his way I think. The sort rebirth is really -- reverse that she met his humanity more than -- and the actual physical."

" War. So -- I think character. Immigrant -- like cares more recent agreement but. The flash to me is is the character I think that the most its associate with your name here because sort of you came up with a flashlight I guess in a way -- building a wall during that time and and that's a lot about the use I think. -- how how does it feel to come back to that world so so heavily did you feel like you were done with a before in."

" And no I get it I never was there marijuana left the first thought the book but my favorite character. I was has been our efforts but the book. I was very happy with how things went -- Because. There's there's there's certain things I want to do. And -- very -- coming back it's totally different character that no more west but characters and missing from the universe and playing off of instead of a guy who's filling in someone loses a guy is doing speed and the consequences these. And getting wrote back and central city America would be really focusing on -- it with centrist it was iris will go up and iris Allen a and and a lot of -- but it was a little bit like coming home. And trying to Qaeda figure out how likely it felt like the last time I did it I was kind of playing in it and a single room. And playing around and now I can. We built the house. So to speak to."

" Do you think you or. I mean are you are you better just like like coming back and now do you -- we're not mean I I think so but what would you commit that you feel like I've been more self confidence and then when you were -- building up the sort of flat out well if."

" If I didn't think I can do better than I did I wouldn't come. I I think I look at all the work I've done for the stuff that that I think -- not really well the stuff I do think didn't turn out when it really well. And trying to figure out what my. What my strikes are what might weaknesses are trying to. Learn and and grow and and its first craftsman. And I just trying -- I going to try to progress I hope this is better than my first issue flash I would."

" Yet it is I think what that -- is that -- Now and you -- it's diver on this I've heard him talk on podcasts and things about. Like when you guys work together it's very intense and Imus is that like last time it's time yet to know if that likes how -- out of that process work you guys very collaborative."

" really collaborate and we get kind of manic but I'm a little bit manic already about this stuff. I immerse myself I'm in New York right now it is because you're doing like this item I want to kinda completely. Completely. Block out everything else in my life except for pockets -- makes him crazy. But the same thing to recommend an actor yeah. Yes and it's strange. Vote flash immersing myself in this and he thing when Eric via Easton. We cracked their -- so and we talk about this stuff and there's so much subversive like Ethan puts an awful lot of that layer of art on top of -- and that will make us and make and that's in the books agreement rebirth of some mean things. That the reader will never receive a better there there's this one grape and on beaver where the first time as Spector -- there. Takes black pants and -- way witches. So like that takes the black and it's anyway. It is it is -- report is Antarctica. And -- the first and there's something different but even though putting -- His chances -- actually everything everything about the entire stories and she wanted -- magnifying glass and and how much of that stuff. Do you write in there planet with him you know average a lot of a lot of its collaborated but he Q will at a certain. There's certain details comes up with there's actually on this congress. He did that. I couldn't believe he did it on the cover. But it's it won't make any sense until the series is over but. -- He's -- very. But aren't you guys I mean. You clash a lot of ideas and he's come up with something people really like now -- now we just explore every avenue we kind of talked various Eric in. We get really ambitious with our ideas -- probably sometimes too ambitious and have -- Watson mean. Keep focusing on -- Program I think there actor. It's the scope can be gigantic we can have them spectrum. That's doing this."

" Bomb so if you're crushing the book for the first time you know like I'm going to do plaster -- it's going to be the return area on how that works in the universe. What where you start I guess what comes first you register -- thing about people you haven't minorities are coming up with stories immediately I think about the character first."

" Who very allies for this one is a very important helps or not I -- in. There's some as Baxter was are you really set in stone but here Alan I thought more about who he is where it's coming from I think it is the way he is before attacking the story and then also thinking well. There's a lot of things a controversial return that's you know that's your that's. I think first and foremost very controversial returns to this rebirth had to be almost the exact opposite of the national -- where it was kind controversial. Death yet you know it's making -- and her oxygen and killing them so very Allen's death is is by all accounts one of the greatest test and comics though and very controversial to bring backs of the book have to be counter. Counterculture to. To that it has to be very Allen returning is a bad thing for the five -- exploring wall is it why. What's he mean to these characters -- react. And then go in that story from there and everything kind of falls in place from Aaron I have very strong opinions on what I think. Set up or press for each one of these characters and where I'm gonna take them but. But really -- light comes on character comes down to who very Allen is just like with green then revert to strip -- all -- it always is about a guy overcoming fear."

" To me I think that your -- I want to get your completely your greatest talents and on seems to be that you were really able to take these extremely complicated. Sort of concepts all Wisconsin nearly all the stuff you've really -- to boiling down to the very essential nature even reading the flash your birth today like. Straightaway -- in the first 45 pages you told me exactly who -- was what was going on what was going on you know it behind him for all that stuff is really civil is that. Essentially you really think a lot that come naturally -- you."

" Summit comes naturally to me. If I can't communicate easily with the characters. And why why characters that we are. And -- pro yeah I just believe that. If if I'm telling the story and you don't know that guy is why he's doing here. Where he's coming from and I've I've not telling the story about a -- the caricature. But biggest -- since there is like right away there -- like -- again. Mary Alice on the lot of people well. Like people known as the guide and so it's my job to. To rebuild and then and also explain it but. In in a way that really it. Everyone he everyone needs more time answer something for. Everyone's everyone's on Twitter I usually can tell your -- you 2000 your friends at the same time for lunch and you know there was got -- and got email -- you know on cellphones now. I do -- the the and every everything's about Spiezio went faster cars are moving faster. You know got to get to work faster right I'm -- time for this I -- people -- on the time I think priced at one today eleven of and that's something I want to explore. With -- Who can move this fast and still doesn't have enough time because there will never be enough. -- doesn't -- that means."

" How do the pressure for a project like this in that. Expectations in this book expectations for the blackest night don't really high I mean you're sort of suppressed and I don't wave here like you had. Excellent hook up extra bucks for spending you're just re did the origin of how Jordan. Yeah it really you know pretty spectacular fashion what do you think about best -- you try to stay off the message boards you know."

" I I. It's always there's always pressure but when you're working in continuity as well let's pressure I mean if I wanted. You know volunteer it's it's gonna do -- world. Five story. I like challenges I Merrill Mike -- teen titans and Mike Coleman textiles. And he's smart people so we don't says it can be we lost teen titans and said that's definitely -- careers over. This at the same thing to meet because they realized something times and I think we -- okay and then who should go girl. On that and Hubert. Franken. Green lantern primaries and struggled. And and says. That what you finally got it done it sounds this is the book that's going to destroy your career. But if -- for if I don't think ever ever done how Jordan Larry Bird or. I want to follow -- on the fly through. If I was worried about that so you see that talent he'd say bring it on. Three and on the I'd rather try and not try -- you know I I'd I'd rather. Be ambitious and and try and tell stories believe in a project that nothing's going to be great talents -- going to thrive on challenge here."

" Now you say that there are there are seeds for blackest night from all the way back into rebirth like so how how far ahead -- you plan -- when. When did you start planning blackest night like when does that start."

" With a seeds are in rebirth I mean obviously there's that audio and completely formulate an actress and green lantern but it grew organically is that move forward. But it started very early on him. Just like semester course -- prettier and yet. I just plot far ahead in mama the books. I just I just look at you must have what 67 years as private warriors but it's not that hard like Schiavo is it is just -- down a dog that's going to take it the issue right. Okay but you know and they need to start start to build and everything changed. I just like the -- long form."

" As well as short form. It because of it make more sense not to what you're probably position because they wanted to do this for this long -- is okay but like when you're when you're I suppose less established is sort of."

" While flash or for some of them flash because I hope I can news story line but they might -- But as I I I quickly disabled autumn is going to go forward if I don't if there but I there's got permanent position where I know I'm under contract so I know well. I'll plug on this book for at least this blank. And that's you know some some crazy thing happens which. Which you never know but. Just always. I -- the -- and confidence ballot to dedicate myself to care for them but green lantern if I go on 306 issues. I don't know it is now lot of rebuilding to do there then and for me it's it takes longer to. To get into to every corner of the franchise with a --"

" The world is that what you really like to do listed. Building hailed it world -- But Jason got some Camby because I could self building and you care if you did have a lot of characters but I think they thought the sort of the others have all these characters and then. Really. You did you make it work which I was so strange John Ellis but he -- third down that the essence and I didn't feel like you were skipping around a lot. Happening utility got everything you want it to him in in GSA."

" I have more stories by. I I I'm taking I'm actually I left to say I'm probably would stay longer but. I'd rather the vice story ideas for that book then I've been on the book for a long time. Like -- is coming adventure comics flash. Green land and it's like that's full slate for me and I didn't want to if I could meet Jason if I configured a direction that I was going to be really. Great and dedicate all my focus to it that I thought was better fight the fight concentrated on on continue green lantern. And watch."

" How are how things differently now like say in 2000 like like. Mean when you go to a con you get -- you -- panel's -- people roomful of people here you know you. For any on some of the biggest characters -- yeah how's it different working now and that was that."

" I don't know I don't know it's still feels like this same and a little lot of ways I think I'm better at it. Felt different II and IIAK. It takes longer write a book. Really yeah absolutely because I -- a lot harder on my plotting in. I think Obama comes from working out 52 because I'm 52 and that I need five page for this mr. Goldstein and they do -- you got three I can't do it in theory. I was like issued to via -- entry page and the five -- got three. And I have to work hard oh I can do it. And throughout 52 wasn't just -- you create scenes are longer than shorting them but also realistic was so valuable. You could only do be -- that may be homeless bombings so. How meticulous arguing actually do desperate people do you plot everything out very images if you're an -- and script yeah. It's like that cards -- you outlines I do I use my -- keys are much if you open up my computer and you look at my sticky you'll see you like it breakdowns of like thirty issues of stuff that just -- get notes and hire -- about them. Yeah I get really meticulous with at all and I like reference to reference crazy things to be if -- reference like freaking. Some obscure character like. Some obscure island put him in the book I want won't be drawn right or so ago reference -- but I also. But a game comics -- realistic comics is currently you'll have twenty -- so you know story and I'm always. Writing over have to go back and see. -- As he says is you go forward do you find that you're filling those pages with more than having to take more out. For. It's very. Challenging -- To fit everything I want and an occasion after just remember that if it's not prepared to care for them expect. That's kind of like I've got scenes on the on the cutting room floor from books that'll never be that just had with doubt these four -- still. They don't progressive they're cool wouldn't be difficult part of the story that they're not impaired sight to the throw away so."

" So -- itself yet. On the -- is that you like to bill world like to do that this house important you look like you've got characters like you know Susan steelers' starter illicitly Fed their. Part of the universe we're going to -- around it that's partly to you you want to have that legacy like you have that that we're those characters you meter living on --"

" I just want to be able to read it justice America and the time Lawton. Hopefully those characters thrive in. But. But being on introducing here's Alex's amenities. -- characters and let them he has some of them probably stick stick round and some of them all. It's always when -- and start girls especially. Post my art but start ups and -- books of people right right. --"

" What's to a couple of questions -- out there. And then that whatever question."

" I am amazed at us for our question. Today's tech are right can handle one book me gently multiple books. Keep those stories strong entry after question like you asked how -- you -- out. And your -- it isn't news network and also appeared. Will want to."

" And I have is that I'm only working in these numbers status like here -- here -- so I'm consumers that he's -- I got a pretty rigid. It is that I've I've got a pretty frigid pretty rigid work schedule like I we're like around 97 almost every day and I just enjoy -- so."

" Don't ever find myself I mean it's always there's a lot of work to be done by. I'm pretty happy college. But I don't get wires crossed the sale this week and -- This week O lantern. That your comments or more. So my lawyers she's you know be crossed elect blackest night it's actually nice to a complex agreement flash at the same time -- hound terrier and -- so. As I'm getting to know there -- more more and rebirth. It helps informing him like this night. There's. Fit within these numbers and so I think working in these results. And the moment it. Just something. Like here working on. The right amount of stuff for announced it would YouTube a lot of script that we can I guess -- most of -- but I only have one of the book right now on them. But let let's let's -- 52 people after the everything's fine I did 52 plus like three books a month I can handle anything. As Graham -- is like fifty Q after that as a detox. Yeah what we are actually going to Vegas for weekend. Statistically rare horse. Was awesome but the there's a good time I forgot about comets are few days and pretty much everything it. It was fun. I'm -- ED need to kind of you take breaker once. But whenever like -- that we can start driving me when I'm driving mr. right story. You always -- a notebook review it now I don't I really everything up here in. So fast and wonder kid. That another question. That."

" I got to give you get a great I would say well we've very. You. And counseling on good -- in the past have you -- writing a green light and this small."

" Not really. -- It. On. A couple of questions sort of what could be here so on. Six -- wants to know what writers outside of comics inspired you most my most my biggest -- screenwriters Brian Howland has -- confidence and conspiracy theory. I think he's an amazing screenwriter. Probably. Probably my favorite writers out there but he's a big influence on. Structures. Are you when you like watch a movie are you totally like that -- yes I'm going to watch it yet. It's hard because you can't help it because it's like if you you know you've built houses when you law announced it -- ago. And that so you that's kind of the attitude to almaty. But mostly screenwriters there's screeners. -- Mean -- It a lot of scripts -- school re do you view laser printers right. That if that -- prose writers like but there's no writers leave the stuff I've read and throws most most non fiction. I think back and enjoy that stuff more leisure is like how likely you know. Political answer or spirituality votes. True crime books. Here's a guy named John Douglas who pulled. Few books and -- process but I I don't really read a whole lot of pros. It's fiction because I just can't it is but. The -- of like every reference books written Rutgers. It's you know no comments read their books thirty fiction you can enjoy you have guilty pleasures. My guilty pleasures -- obvious stuff like you know doll. -- books -- all the kids books -- for example blues but that stuff so it's one that all the world to elect see it loses. What's the question."

" I was you know I was let -- working -- Other writers like come. He's like. 52 guys yeah Richard Donner. We'll."

" Your big collaborator yeah I like collaboration because it's. It's fun. This should be fun. Books. It's it's for me to best job in the world and to work on. Work on it with bite my friends like James Robinson. Collaborating with -- when you know we don't work in the same boat but we just talking general. The 52 guys are some of the most. They're more my favorite writers. Prior to that and America right after that grant Morrison's. Definite -- com. And -- huge influence on me. And -- your friend of mine and Martin Greg -- is the same ways and Iowa and mark wade and I like them because they're the -- stuff so different from -- what stories it differently. And collaborating like that you learn. And I probably learned more and that your running at 52 and in. In anywhere else -- sum total career."

" Use them now. With -- to get this first but it James James event -- originally I'd I was shooting it felt like here Don just school. And in ambulances peep from DC. I gave him to this and as such and Richard waters off the -- myself and down. They say hey you comics. Moment that you -- to something here ideas but a year later. -- stars and stripes but man but yeah I mean it's clear if I mean it's. Also you know I think -- being little but just more polite thing I've got an idea and I was so busy adding I thought well maybe out. If I come as something out of pitching something and about a year later it starts right. I'd I'd have the united met James Robinson in LA and I met and actually it's remember what an icon yeah yeah we -- and common. When I was in college amendment colonize price nineteen. And lots Darman and we just talked over half an hour hour and and we became friends and moved to go -- To honor. I am no way we -- struck a friendship in and about a year after. Meant to be put these -- accounts idea for star struck because I want you. Pretty superior for girls. Because it -- interest in having all the super super super girl wonder girl back girl nobody had their own legacy. One victory Sunday that my sister who passed away. A year earlier want to create something that she would like. And so a human resources drive which is if anyone does note sure what people don't have pretty obscure book. It's about a girl finds out her stepfather. Psychic to a superior. And so she becomes that's that a new version of his old partner to make a map. And it's as step fathers that daughters of routine and a -- to Jameson. He really liked it. Give me some pointers. -- and the guys DC and Mike Carlin and named -- him. Really enjoyed it might or Ringo true picture of there's bankrupted and the first picture ever. I have a friend in my office like an awesome god. Might that might finish at some point and so anyway it's it's and it was mostly mini series and an -- to monthly. Before they -- to you which some might mean had you thought about. Writing comics professionally. On a little bit but I was so concentrated film and being assistant director. Not yet the so that was like ninety hour week job. Those five -- one to do so when asked about I'm did you come by. And they bought that and I thought -- these -- construct for fun. Just for fun and then. And James that -- today and meg lawyer a lawyer because investments there's. And course James you -- brokerages. Issued theory I'd have a comic. I guess. -- was -- this. And so I got into it and I learned about where. For those first two years and then start start with getting canceled that was lineup is correct it's lawyers and and to cut Cutler called. Flash but here character exits exit visas that your tournaments script. -- But. And then for America that's what I really mean that's really focused on. I really enjoy it. Bouncing working for Donner and writing fly ash and it is today. And that does tomorrow work. And years. And than I got offered -- man. And that's. It all. How how many years. He did that from. Obvious. -- and -- three years and I did that were to ever goes jobs. And then eventually. And move on from ours which is very hard because it could that mean. And an and I signed PCs are focused my energies they felt like on that humans of this -- Really dedicate myself to -- and that's so. From another question are those are realized that's that's -- stand up --"

" So in Finland and we've seen countless. Is he didn't try every morning become. And fuel might and theory. -- and completely."

" Possibly."

" you really want to know what's going to happen at."

" It is one from user called Alan -- it wanted to know. What is the most difficult scene or comic we've had to write and then and then what would be single moment that you've got the most excited about like -- the thing you most proud of it's about a different things I think one of the most difficult things to -- was. The deficit board could use my second favorite character from a long time next to -- five cents -- So killing him really."

" But really really really hard come and it was hard because. I felt it when I did it didn't and so when I wrote that scene in Monroe. His way signal universe and he says last signs like yet cast is cool and neat guys here. As like I just sat -- keyboard to prosper. It -- did you -- yourself up -- And aka terrorism this. But. That was tough there's a lot of heart scenes there's actually read flash -- three -- the last. Half that was really emotional for me. Agreement between five and how. Makes Leo this it is. When I was -- it house is tone is like master like these for you guys are coming coast that you guys that everybody evacuate that city. And he says well here -- and the policies. And houses. Looks adamantly. Just tell it where -- respect. And so we -- back for something like that is likely yeah it and then and then -- it and and how does look -- brother. And then they com I'll fly it to be passed. And house says. Thinks that house that held a family house. And sees it double Pittsburgh them why the glowing -- city and that's that's that's super publicity about fear for me that was very. Powerful because her for how. I felt for Allen the traffic that came full circle of failing to -- destroyed these people. And then seeing it rebuilds. And seeing the faith of Pakistan. That in plain that they believed in him and that allowed in to believing himself overcome fear that's how that one -- was saying runaway. And that's something that can character so that's seen as really proper because the culmination for media. Of his hired Ernie -- And his family. How how long. -- that's the end of what it's like how long it went on -- short screen got an island where. And -- went up the next six years. Well -- my my my focus my focus really right now is how how. How Jordan manners are very. So that's from my folks."

" How does George pros are doing on on me to and three world this -- report should be out. It's beautiful."

" It's it's number four is done I think as of tomorrow. And should be out in about. I don't want to promise anything I'm guessing and hoping three weeks. For weeks maybe because it goes of the Brenner and you know that's the other stuff but it's is supposed to be done message. Six weeks. About six weeks and then issue five. Will probably be shipped. Every ship in June at some point. The."

" There's by discussions about that and -- comics to. But. This is a comic book that. On the EC to work towards putting into the pages and you can't deny he's not playing you know called him before he's he's drawn the book. And while -- call yeah. And and George is such a master and I think he's proven himself for the years that. Hopefully -- know they're they're worth the wait I think there are alone makes them the way. And this stuff we have come up and his core five is pretty pretty killer. It feeds and everything else I'm doing which is cool it has its own story on its own but. If you Ford really. Really respect actors by farmers the best issue once -- I mean by it's -- you you grew up. When you know George -- was -- but at that time he was the big name in an artist was like to work with these guys now. For you mean. It's for -- its its crazies I mean he's master storyteller you know get more professional mess so. To you. You know. You give him all this insanity -- and does it and makes it bears in yeah -- hope so. Any any six emotion its its nice you never forget about it's about emotions and that's why like -- so much because it's very emotional book but. It's it's a thrill it an honor to work with -- I am innocent that would that would you're having our time in your game I mean you're always -- Turret -- and the script so. Casserly are speaking -- and also it's got a feeling it's gonna go to the strengths and also my strength so. Region through worlds -- story line that if anyone's reading it to the Julian characters that are only George to draw that. On top of that though I want to make sure -- an emotional right these guys you see the story arc if you look at lightning lies hurt your minions at some. You -- five is. Probably the most indirect he's got to bring it fires yelling at someone thinks he's an idiot -- old. Yeah Alan thinks he can since fassel time and they always arguing that's not the right thing and maggots get Erica. And and and at the end of there's there's some -- of them you know entry world but. My my my goal review that book was -- crisis story in the 30% who also make sure it was news. Story these characters people. That was -- back there somewhere I think. Before."

Whether rejected. -- turn colors elect we decided not to get involved now now. I've heard that before the -- it was like it was dark blue -- it's a bit -- generators if you start with a note -- out -- none out because I didn't want like in all honesty.
