Segments
Sterling Gates, the latest rising star at DC Comics, checks in to talk about Supergirl, working with James Robinson, Greg Rucka, and Geoff Johns, and his two new books: Kid Flash and World?s Finest. He also reveals what fueled some of his own teen angst.
Before the movie comes out and he gets too big to talk to us, Bryan Lee O?Malley gives an update on all things Scott Pilgrim: the movie, the video game, and the final volume of the acclaimed series.
Antony Johnston and Christopher Mitten talk Wasteland, which is the first long running on-going series for both creators.
Terry Moore couldn?t be happier about Echo, especially since he just sold the movie rights for a big bag with a $ symbol on it. You know you?re dealing with an old pro when they bring their own press to an interview (or just happen to have it there on the table when the cameras show up).
Hey! Someone from iFanboy finally cracks Joe Casey!
Image Comics founder Todd McFarlane is back at the drawing table on multiple projects, and he?s here with the scoop. And Mr. McFarlane has no comment on any alleged sex scandals.
Suddenly James Robinson is everywhere in the DCU! From multiple Superman books, to reshaping the Justice League of America, to his love of DC Comics history, he talks about it all here!

" Eric and me about any sex scandal you want it -- the it was a term as a referral and and at and -- dot com. And Netflix."
" Doing a lot of respect work while being your flowers on."
" Because delegates -- super -- or don't -- RUC. Would be fair to say here growth of the new operator. In terms of certain -- absolutely so now you're writing it. You're -- super -- right you're collaborating with -- rockets have downstairs -- are you learning tons from a absolutely those guys are the masters play. I've I've I was -- is the end of daylight and -- writing crossover -- actions to grow -- and you know are -- each issue. And just getting his scripts and and and seeing what he's doing those characters like and it's a challenge me and and they need in my game up to match. What he's doing and -- it's just it's always a lot of fun working in Wisconsin and there they really are the masters of their craft positive they graduate level class or erratic I I made that analogy one point it like working on the estimates these guys like it's my comic Pratt school so. But now it's just it's a lot of fun and and made their obvious excited about what they're dynamics and what I'm doing it and we -- that we get a group and we feed off one another. To -- weekly calls them. So you. -- beginning did you feel alternated -- your list as I sat there masses and -- of course I -- yeah of course but you. You know I I just do my best work and I IA. Competence you know the highest level that -- respected and so far it it appears he wants -- to devote the resources to grow from from our readers are leaders really -- so -- so. With super broker to you always like to the news or some things that the challenge of maker existing no violence like super girl like there's a story that's how about when I was a kid Superman movie came out and hours. Wasn't very old but DC did a comic adaptation that Jerry cavaliers mattered to see Rhode. And I literally read it until the cover fell off and my parents I mean when Aaron balance those kind of thoughts. So she's always been like a character that really enjoyed like never really had an affinity for. And so. Working that well it's just it's it's a lot of fun act I think and Jamal likes their lives as well and the internet's oversight we really. Like to get people excited about this we're really excited about the character and and whenever would be so. Do you though she's got to some incarnations of the last ten years or so -- And even even reserves and that is an alien in this in the -- have you told him what he thought click what is what is how he subscribers but doesn't -- She's. The most powerful teacher on the planet. And she Superman's cousin that she is a giant legacy of the -- I you know I I talked about it I I am I don't give -- siblings but I'm I'm an older brother. And when I got enough high school every teacher had this preconceived notion of what. I would feel like based on how they saw my brother. And it's it was a challenge for me about -- about CU and hopefully exceed those expectations changed as expectations. And super -- has the same problem like she's super heroine on earth. But there's so much. Wait and legacy on the as shields she wears. And she often feels like no matter what she does -- shall never be as good as -- commence -- excel and do things differently and try to build her own reputation. And as analysts in front for action on which comes on September October that reputation might be getting more and more. Sally. For lack of better word I just mind your own team yanks to get backed its things are you is it just does it. Lots of drinking out of pass this you know I was a pretty thanks to team like I went through big heavy metal phase rallies all black long air. Apartment and started balding and so I didn't want anymore and I kind of like step back it was like I really like. You know Fear Factory and there are great band but to -- and -- or seven. And I you kind of -- its yanks but there's a lot I a lot of problems and I was a team that mature but. I think all writers went line from their own lines like it's time. On -- on usual. Planes so do. It is. Now -- you're working Americans crossover with with the with the books it's tough to come out of your own story. And then we get together you that's so close and it's it's it's not a problem well that's the challenge of it. And I. I I liken it sort of silly. So soon waves where. We'll start hearing gather and then all break apart and come back together in the break apart and so I am I sort of do my own. Site. I do my best in my own stories stand alone but if you're reading everything you get a much richer view of Metropolis put on him. And and all those worlds associate peers in other books do you give input on that our view or is it. And they have like these widgets is just a telegram but that's about Superman books. You know I read everything everybody I read all the -- married all the finish issues for aristocrats and you know dragon James. And even -- and and adventure comics wherever like that have been very respectful towards my. View of that character and and the version you're trying to you. Present of her and superhero so I I did I'd not object to anything. Yet. But yet it yet we never know it could happen. As inevitable coming out of announcement. Huge flash yes so are you sort of the DC to -- writer. I don't know if she could say I don't know I could be she weren't bad but I do like teen characters quite a bit -- flash was another character like closeted. I and I really I am I wanted to work on on that project going to be quite articles -- at -- last. On the yeah he's in the flash on goings on announces it's been that's the number Richards announced. He's been a flash on going I'm going to class and we're gonna try to run it like. Like he -- mosque in agreement agreement and court where we're working together but apart and hundreds of separate but that's better. Get more out of -- again like this MacBooks today if you read everything you get much richer you. Of the world in the DC Anderson's characters. We've got some pretty big. That's a pretty big stuff -- for all of our sales -- going to be exciting year for you next yeah there's a lot of cool stuff ordering world's finest as well. Which is the teaming up on that the characters new characters in Batman universe and you care to consuming uterus and each issue will be different team up. It's the first issues naming a red Robin the second issue is -- Robin in the guardian the third issue is super girl in the mysteriously back girl.

" Iran here at Bradley O'Malley -- insert and I'm dead ends of the San Diego. Another one of the big one but that that it. So big all -- movie poster over there hanging from the ceiling that's not. The first time intimate area it was solidly sought to see well there make in the movie out of my book. But let's see that those guys like they're making a movie because that no I heard about the movie and -- earlier that it. So everybody's all talk every side of the movie there people are hoping that'd be some footage here you -- a return there won't be that I'm sure that their student houses shouldn't -- I have you heard about it you know -- a news from the us from the set. It's going -- they're shooting seven days this week that's why can't come down. You're actually called me yesterday and said. To say that but he said that it was cooler to be the only movie not showing at San Diego I you know there's that lets your local government here. At that critical so you guys had a big announcement here at the comment that's up on that was a movie related that there's going to be this uploaded video game. It's again it's sort of movie related to happen because of the movie right but yeah its its very early stages you know political matters -- I'm moving this so how kind of met our kind of circling back is that there's gonna be a video game about the book that's about video games that now it's totally out you know what's so inspired by -- you games and it's of the game is inspired by the book and the guilty of games and it's you know everyone on the team for the game and totally gets it. If you're really cool are you excited to play your own video game I'm gonna play it so much -- enough but that -- big gamer I mean you I mean you're always -- not relegated to planner you're a -- not. How are you are giving your product or your. -- your characters to budget developers are you worried about how would they do with that there. Well actually I'll probably pretty heavily involved which is and Austin you know excellent currently involved in the game -- them into. Who knows maybe I'll be. -- game man from now on now. -- Same time as the game and the movie in the clever fusion marketing blitz enough. Excellent well thanks so much into the com."
" We appreciate simulator that there. There. Doesn't stand there -- now you don't and I am also serious listeners -- sentencing million and it's it's a."
" I've got an idea for web site what is it. Twilight -- dot com while we're on the dot dot com. You know you can register that domain name at godaddy and you use their tools this of the website that's awesome I -- godaddy has good eyes get all of the services you need to settle website registered domain names every male centric blogs at the store whatever you need to do go daddy's got it.

" Interest from Britain because the creators of waste land from Sony. This has been a lot around for awhile but I feel like it -- people keep discovering you know the -- back to things like that I tell them the series it's. Wow well wasteland is a post apocalyptic western fantasy adventure. Takes place. A hundred years after an unspecified disaster called the big lights. Whiteside civilization. And it's the story all bunch of people trying to survive. And trying to figure out exactly what happened to why the world these the way it is. It it sounds it's sounding like a post apocalyptic scifi movie ready ago I mean. -- kind of kind of but it's a bit unusual is gonna like I'm si ons like supernatural elements as well on its disseminated to develop together forward."
" Off him yeah I indicated that the data sounds great -- just. To be up my Alley have a big kind of mythology folklore fanned him as can be but. A better fit for me and we were ecstatic pretty country thing and and you. Reese worked well together and it ends and he's just a great -- and I'm thrilled to be kind of along with him for the journey on this."
" One of these -- what his looks has been around for a long time now I mean is this a long time for sort of and indeed. Scifi series to keep going and and and how I have much more -- at this point five tonight got a bunch trades now how long have we got to go."
" In total like split the series to lost about fifty to sixty issues. I don't know exactly the -- from that's from heading off. The lost dog is already faulted on exactly how it's gonna went -- we just have to get them ready and -- and exactly how those tightly yet fifty or sixty she's wearing full."
" And and but what do think that that struck -- about is that it is it's very unique it has feel you you created a whole world you have you know languages and and and social you know reporters and things that you made a policy. How much of -- come on we working on the sort of pre production of that figure you know I've created a story that's very."
" And therein lies is sales and wasteland this kind of I first time the idea of this book that is it's not true about eighteen years ago that the it's not you Camelot has its you just -- kept bubbling under the back -- my mind throughout the whole time. Islands and eventually like you know sort of got the point where I was talking to anybody doing an ongoing series. I believe if I'm gonna write a story that is probably about as good it's on presented -- say eighty something that all been kind of working on and on and off many many years. But a lot of these also knew his value domino like drone is a right to life philosophy is solid it and start tonight. And to yes it's kind of a says about 5050s you know a lot of -- stuff like demo with a long time ago. But you know probably just as much -- he's a brand new facilities -- by what result would is -- in as a brand new stuff. Was it fun designing I guess that the world that all it takes place and yeah I -- and it's still. It's still developing as we go out. Sweet stuff announced it is big set pieces you can't just switch but it of those things it's if they detect we can play with that I like different environment is like -- like going back from the cities and -- desert. And -- Buick city it's always some different aspect of it I can use a different architectural things are different. It just gonna play when there's a lot there at these giving me that. Work with and play around in and it's really just it's it's been a blasted US. It's. Chris really likes to roaring -- that's the a lot of them that he really likes drawing we have people so I just fill the -- with a certificate. So do you have like that sort of a slang and jargon in a lot of characters have like you have all that stuff down now that you just you just speak like right in his sleep. Again mostly mostly -- you know I -- was troubled from -- but yeah it's again it's -- that's part of stuff on. I've been thinking about two years so it's on a second nature."
" Now this is you bad I've seen you have a lot of the sort of graphic novels and U of IQ you've done novels director. But this is or your first ongoing long term series -- is if you haven't come to mean Imus at this point must feel pretty natural and not just introducing something and an ending in the short time right yes right."
" It's. It's one of those things -- writing an ongoing long forms monthly series is something that. View. It's very difficult destroyed until you do it it you can't really know -- expects. Eight it's just it's way it is they come it takes a real life it is a good way yet. It's hard work. But you can't get into a rhythm. Idea it's just it's a really really different thing to get it right yet professionals on novels videogames or whatever. And yes its people said to me before sideways on light you know of -- to definitely relating self involved. And -- AA have written comics on on on but that drops it right it's just the strangest experience."
" Agassi is personally done for a long time essence beginning in its. Can the same thing just. It's it's nice every morning waking up on which are going to be doing its that does that that mr. is that how -- a hundred and the page or pages depending. And -- after the last three years going into groups or actions were on the book you know we have not even halfway I know. And yet it's just again it's. It's fun to fill those pages -- of this -- this next to the sand you and so here's the city here's the Unix system. You know here's Michael with the -- custody yet it's just it's. There's always on the phone and advocates like him you know wrap my brain around today so."
" Terry Moore has gone -- it's sad that we're here we are yeah 2009 hear it again so on you more about a year plus into -- Yes and it's I think it's been a -- here. It's been a very good here and when asked me why tell us -- because we saw the film rights to -- Lloyd Levin who did watchman cowboy way. And I'll have proved that. It's our hair and a half. So -- con -- now I'm a con Edison idea of a little according to variety of con artist so now what is -- he sold the movie right so it does mean if you get made and it's it's it's -- in progress there. I sold it to get made I mean it's not an option -- OK good that's yet sometimes you hear about deals happening -- nothing ever happens and it -- that's when they option of rely you know. A hundred dollars right but I charged him out there was news so he has to make it now off. -- congratulations how involved in the production of unity. Well I'm told co producer let's -- I I don't know what that means I don't have any street cred you know in Hollywood so I guess that means they let me in the meeting. But not wise to listen to me and -- have -- a little statement that it itself and the book's been coming out -- every six weeks on schedule. Yes because Robin makes me this and think about it. If I didn't have that my wife to make resale schedule I'd be putting out of the year I promise that at at. So how has some baking -- on victory for the special you're saying on back on us on schedule at the strangers in and telling the story that's been in your head. It's been a lot of fun actually because among issue 14 -- halfway in. And now it's moved from being all that might have liked and figured out now I just kind of I feel like -- in sync with that image. I'm really enjoying the working creative process being -- this weird that something we never talked about like conventions and but when you get back to the studio it it's all this creative so in weird stuff that's hard to describe. And if it's working then your honor roll it it's not working you're screwed and when you start a series like I did this. You just have your trying to figured out like us. If puzzles like a crossword. But after awhile stuff gets rolling and that's -- finally got there thanks so I'm happy about that and is supposed to only got issued thirty such tight can't just ramble forever like that with this -- right so hopefully we get a nice tight story out of it. And it was not always the plan how to self and his soaring into the beginning middle men yeah no more is that these are no more rambling and now I don't doubt it though we loved it though we know that -- echoes supposed to be a movie is like. Being ending being reticent feels like more like a TV show that just goes on forever you just live with the characters what's the plot I don't know Bryant. And so honesty cancer is paradise that the on the -- is happening under the there was it was such ago there few months ago that we weren't gonna get nonetheless that was back on. How -- that hold on the bus thing happen. It was."
" Not gonna happen when we. We couldn't get diamond to agree with us to partner with this you know -- Typically what happens is diamond will say okay we're gonna -- this many and then that's what pays for the -- In this particular case we could never get that commitment out of them so we thought what the book is going to be -- too much money for us to do it ourselves. As time went on and we talked about it with the public and in on Twitter FaceBook and -- that we began to get a lot of confidence that we could sell it. Even with we didn't have time so we finally said okay we're just gonna do it and just in to some on the net and so we did we put up on the net herself. And cells were so good time is that -- By the way. We think we'll take some but they only to collect a small amount so. The print run is very limited and we have our. That's coming to San Diego should be here tomorrow. And then timing gets their batch and a few weeks and."
" And I -- your your ideal work because I was at work and I so each week. That it was gonna be out and then be divided I literally had to scramble from a credit card put it in this could affect a -- one and it's it's I'm glad that other fans were you know -- sort of instantly -- and then you get number two -- number one you know we're also we get the tapes. -- excellent so on so and as -- halfway -- Are you startled look at the next thing or are you gonna yeah yeah yeah yeah and you're super -- of and they got how many stories again. I have -- I have a lot of different things on the desk in. Robin Robin and I have talked about it we have three really strong candidates for what's next. We're done I'm done to get to it out at this point now when I'm trying to do is -- I want to make a number of different stories because you know may be some -- in this IP that they would like echo. So I wanna make a lot of variety out there so that people have something to read them about mine that's that would light and enough variety units such honors than -- echo you know I discredits and a little more science fiction conspiracy kind of thing on on definitely. Right. You know might. The stuff I love reading when I was kid with -- And so this my chance to do that this me do an X files really is this so. And that there's other stuff I wanted to do so I'm looking ports and what's next big fantasy dragons at -- future. You know -- I've never really stand up at night thinking about dragons. But I'm glad you confessed on there exactly -- that the."
" I'm mayor Joe Casey and I'm gonna make some of this this time and that's it's good to see how showdown I don't think it's gonna work. I don't think it's gonna work and talk with you right and he said that it was going to be. Look any better and did you watch the one the -- episode. It was a pretty good one it was so boring your horrible it's horrible it's horrible yes bring someone else bring someone else. That's a weird -- Casey cycle giants are let's talk about how many times he used the word so when you talked about."
" Hundreds -- started doing."
" Hi Michael -- here I'm gonna go lastly I talked to mr. Casey. And talked a bit about -- body of work mr. Casey do you have some time for I think we got this guy this guy. This is this is the guy gonna voice on the RA man right -- not think -- so. Go to Santa -- withstand this puts more comfortable for you just look at this spring right so before. Come into the -- I re re read your body of work just this really you know. And I I gotta say -- to some. Some themes that seem to recur. To have consistently through all of your stories and I was really wondering. Is this something that you you really thought about an -- as part your through creative process that he can he keep coming back to. It's it's kind of it's interesting to see how these things continue due to a change in in -- That's. We could but the question."
" Think about this."
" While while it. See it now it's. It. And just to do that. I'm sorry am I that was I don't know. That was profound I mean the interview questions. Were. Do I mean seriously it's more than this subject in the work really that story and yeah I mean where these guys behind him. I you know I I took I'd like I learned a bit really for me it's about that this about trying to. Make their relationship I'm a little I have some minds aren't -- I wear contact with. Well listen that was I mean I know he's been let's not get out and -- it out. Good."
" I -- it's not a fun I don't good idea for excellence as a big -- industry so far we've had in the united we get a preview look out. How is of the work on the project in Korea. Yeah actually he's been pretty generous in again we're trying to do something has a -- McConnell books which is I mean to do it there's been plenty of crossovers. It hasn't been. Crossover with the story and cross over with a yard so we've got seven I was doing the artwork. Each manipulate our own character and then having to sort of go on the background have been pretty I do you the guy the very end so. I IE I -- so my guy did and then. I look at the pages ago paid. That is not there's gonna have a foot -- and isn't it because it might imaginary everybody's been very polite yet aboard a stop and start -- You know and -- I would draw too much because I know the other guys coming in you know again go all of -- up and then also -- ago. Are we missing elbows and and arms and near the little stuff the sort of hidden behind -- I Diana and that's I had fun sort of messing around -- completing some of those pages see benighted thinking over the the other guys still our own I was somewhat supposed to go. To the various guises and to me and then back out but it's the -- pencils are down there and I'm gonna group of the starting get away and given that everybody get deadlines. So far nobody from means a product of new and might character there I there I think the opposite ready to go out. Cruel dotting the character I don't have to do much work so that it's it's sort of fun jumping on some of the other characters events on. This so are you guys physically mailing the pages each other suspects loves you. But right now yeah it'd be that he's going to be the most expensive mailing book that period were trying to coordinated so did that to keep going back and forth. 100 -- jump on a couple other character. I don't look at those and send it back to marker rob I'll do do the guy right here and over don't just -- Excellent and so on and even work -- that Robert Portman wrote in the united but you've got to be projects with him and Ryan hotly what he tells on."
" Well a couple years ago. At a panel in a -- robber got up out of the crowd. I was in familiar with his face I'm from aren't working on his face and he just sort of challenges need ago. Tentative seven mortgages on where you just the once or phony and so if -- so we've been development for a couple years. We we should headed out earlier I just was. Busy with the -- project tonight I get down -- dive into it and announced that it was coming and put on a schedule so I can actually do vote. Real time tournament and so I've been able to do that now. And and and and bring great to belong to do impeccable storytelling with the layout. -- not please dial fantastic. And I come in there and ink on top of them and just do. A little bit of a different look -- what you see -- invincible just a little bit clean this you know this is a little bit moody or books on differing and different styles."
" But also so you're painting Dolly's pencils up a couple of laughs that's a that's a once a close again muted drawing again right if he had no not gonna become -- back doing more -- get them and be doing a bunch of work on if you 200 respond. All right and then I'll be doing. Some pages that we lead up to -- 250 -- get figures don't again this accident and how is -- with the -- launch some -- re -- a kind of wheels came on -- and have you been happy about it but the progressing yeah yeah --"
" We you know we've gone -- mean it. All artists are always think they're elusive perfect fit. Effective. It issue was always an excellent credit and -- I think it's 295. And it's good to me it's it's it's going to be 196 right itself that this could actually keep you dry it's driving right I think it's the same reason why people golf. And next round going to be my mind my rounds so McConnell books -- good that we we. We -- our book and and you always sort of scratch your head guy could have done that and then that it had more time -- it -- you back to the board doing all -- so you -- issue 200 let's -- little -- will what are we have a little it -- a sore -- in the two under the -- Which is a huge expulsion by the way everything especially from mine independent perspective I I believe it other than maybe Dave -- Surface who went 300 as you and -- might be on at a book. Don't call it might be doing an independent vote to sort of get to that lofty number. So we're we'll have a big sort of climactic story and it's wanted to be villains dominance of revelation on our news on an. With the new. 200 you know in the Minnesota. An uptick in me and and showing you some art which is sort of -- coming back mixing it up with some of the other artists. -- Yeah I you know I don't I I was away for -- on a regular basis and I did not cover and I we do and editing and stuff like that could -- get my hands. Pretty dirty right now is -- writing the book. Doing all the -- placements you know. Do color correction speaker -- the -- move the balloons around. Do all -- inking and start to do -- apparently so and it didn't and it sort of reminds me of sort of a simpler time when I was younger that you vigilant following. But I didn't have a bunch of corporations and you know by its employees and -- some of its obligation to do with food banks and economies and on that other stuff self it's a friendly reminder to go you know tumbled to pretty cool."
" Have you seen twilight. I haven't -- of hearing about it everywhere at the con what is it I think it's a movie.

The last time we had you on the show you were just starting to back it is in -- sort of the full swing right off the -- full time again husband has last year Brigham and."
" What's been very exciting arena coming -- is so much fun to be collaborating with the you know Greg -- just Johnstone and dates. My edit so bad ought to listen -- it's it's just wonderful to be above that I try to group. -- that allows us to move forward together in a separate books but is it as a group so that the Superman line is getting stronger and I think most of us insisting."
" What citizen because there are a bunch of -- it's obviously and everybody tell their own story. But everything is interconnected is clicking really well together. Is that a result you guys doing a lot of collaboration -- I mean do you feel like it's working really you know really."
" I'm not absolutely. Every week we have called the school. It's a physical was code that goes on thought quite a few hours. -- and it -- Alston -- on the surface it's light well.

I just absolve all Latin -- Information and aegis system was stuck with -- of the go to night it was a disk to. And being able to apply that it is very very exciting to."
" I feel it one more question I feel like in this sort of in a previously you had done star man which is RG you write it by yourself. Where is now you very for collaborative I mean are you picking up a lot of different things from working and all these other guys."

In the hog the DC universe it would have been wolf when it would have been a different book. It being off and it's a real world the way it was definitely -- book if you write the Justice League. He passed it should be voted every event is going these few of us has to be one of the big wheels is driving the overruled story. Engine of the of of the of the DC will excite the if you -- Superman so I went into it wanted to -- a variety of wanting to. 222.

You're -- super -- right you're collaborating with -- rockets have downstairs -- are you learning tons from a absolutely those guys are the masters play. I've I've I was -- is the end of daylight and -- writing crossover -- actions to grow -- and you know are -- each issue. And just getting his scripts and and and seeing what he's doing those characters like and it's a challenge me and and they need in my game up to match. What he's doing and -- it's just it's always a lot of fun working in Wisconsin and there they really are the masters of their craft positive they graduate level class or erratic I I made that analogy one point it like working on the estimates these guys like it's my comic Pratt school so. But now it's just it's a lot of fun and and made their obvious excited about what they're dynamics and what I'm doing it and we -- that we get a group and we feed off one another. To -- weekly calls them. So you. -- beginning did you feel alternated -- your list as I sat there masses and -- of course I -- yeah of course but you. You know I I just do my best work and I IA. Competence you know the highest level that -- respected and so far it it appears he wants -- to devote the resources to grow from from our readers are leaders really -- so -- so. With super broker to you always like to the news or some things that the challenge of maker existing no violence like super girl like there's a story that's how about when I was a kid Superman movie came out and hours. Wasn't very old but DC did a comic adaptation that Jerry cavaliers mattered to see Rhode. And I literally read it until the cover fell off and my parents I mean when Aaron balance those kind of thoughts. So she's always been like a character that really enjoyed like never really had an affinity for. And so. Working that well it's just it's it's a lot of fun act I think and Jamal likes their lives as well and the internet's oversight we really. Like to get people excited about this we're really excited about the character and and whenever would be so. Do you though she's got to some incarnations of the last ten years or so -- And even even reserves and that is an alien in this in the -- have you told him what he thought click what is what is how he subscribers but doesn't -- She's. The most powerful teacher on the planet. And she Superman's cousin that she is a giant legacy of the -- I you know I I talked about it I I am I don't give -- siblings but I'm I'm an older brother. And when I got enough high school every teacher had this preconceived notion of what. I would feel like based on how they saw my brother. And it's it was a challenge for me about -- about CU and hopefully exceed those expectations changed as expectations. And super -- has the same problem like she's super heroine on earth. But there's so much. Wait and legacy on the as shields she wears. And she often feels like no matter what she does -- shall never be as good as -- commence -- excel and do things differently and try to build her own reputation. And as analysts in front for action on which comes on September October that reputation might be getting more and more. Sally. For lack of better word I just mind your own team yanks to get backed its things are you is it just does it. Lots of drinking out of pass this you know I was a pretty thanks to team like I went through big heavy metal phase rallies all black long air. Apartment and started balding and so I didn't want anymore and I kind of like step back it was like I really like. You know Fear Factory and there are great band but to -- and -- or seven. And I you kind of -- its yanks but there's a lot I a lot of problems and I was a team that mature but. I think all writers went line from their own lines like it's time. On -- on usual. Planes so do. It is. Now -- you're working Americans crossover with with the with the books it's tough to come out of your own story. And then we get together you that's so close and it's it's it's not a problem well that's the challenge of it. And I. I I liken it sort of silly. So soon waves where. We'll start hearing gather and then all break apart and come back together in the break apart and so I am I sort of do my own. Site. I do my best in my own stories stand alone but if you're reading everything you get a much richer view of Metropolis put on him. And and all those worlds associate peers in other books do you give input on that our view or is it. And they have like these widgets is just a telegram but that's about Superman books. You know I read everything everybody I read all the -- married all the finish issues for aristocrats and you know dragon James. And even -- and and adventure comics wherever like that have been very respectful towards my. View of that character and and the version you're trying to you. Present of her and superhero so I I did I'd not object to anything. Yet. But yet it yet we never know it could happen. As inevitable coming out of announcement. Huge flash yes so are you sort of the DC to -- writer. I don't know if she could say I don't know I could be she weren't bad but I do like teen characters quite a bit -- flash was another character like closeted.

He's been a flash on going I'm going to class and we're gonna try to run it like.

Get more out of -- again like this MacBooks today if you read everything you get much richer you. Of the world in the DC Anderson's characters. We've got some pretty big. That's a pretty big stuff -- for all of our sales -- going to be exciting year for you next yeah there's a lot of cool stuff ordering world's finest as well.

" Interest from Britain because the creators of waste land from Sony. This has been a lot around for awhile but I feel like it -- people keep discovering you know the -- back to things like that I tell them the series it's. Wow well wasteland is a post apocalyptic western fantasy adventure. Takes place. A hundred years after an unspecified disaster called the big lights. Whiteside civilization. And it's the story all bunch of people trying to survive. And trying to figure out exactly what happened to why the world these the way it is. It it sounds it's sounding like a post apocalyptic scifi movie ready ago I mean. -- kind of kind of but it's a bit unusual is gonna like I'm si ons like supernatural elements as well on its disseminated to develop together forward."
" Off him yeah I indicated that the data sounds great -- just. To be up my Alley have a big kind of mythology folklore fanned him as can be but. A better fit for me and we were ecstatic pretty country thing and and you. Reese worked well together and it ends and he's just a great -- and I'm thrilled to be kind of along with him for the journey on this."
" One of these -- what his looks has been around for a long time now I mean is this a long time for sort of and indeed. Scifi series to keep going and and and how I have much more -- at this point five tonight got a bunch trades now how long have we got to go."
" In total like split the series to lost about fifty to sixty issues. I don't know exactly the -- from that's from heading off. The lost dog is already faulted on exactly how it's gonna went -- we just have to get them ready and -- and exactly how those tightly yet fifty or sixty she's wearing full."
" And and but what do think that that struck -- about is that it is it's very unique it has feel you you created a whole world you have you know languages and and and social you know reporters and things that you made a policy. How much of -- come on we working on the sort of pre production of that figure you know I've created a story that's very."
" And therein lies is sales and wasteland this kind of I first time the idea of this book that is it's not true about eighteen years ago that the it's not you Camelot has its you just -- kept bubbling under the back -- my mind throughout the whole time. Islands and eventually like you know sort of got the point where I was talking to anybody doing an ongoing series. I believe if I'm gonna write a story that is probably about as good it's on presented -- say eighty something that all been kind of working on and on and off many many years. But a lot of these also knew his value domino like drone is a right to life philosophy is solid it and start tonight. And to yes it's kind of a says about 5050s you know a lot of -- stuff like demo with a long time ago. But you know probably just as much -- he's a brand new facilities -- by what result would is -- in as a brand new stuff. Was it fun designing I guess that the world that all it takes place and yeah I -- and it's still. It's still developing as we go out. Sweet stuff announced it is big set pieces you can't just switch but it of those things it's if they detect we can play with that I like different environment is like -- like going back from the cities and -- desert. And -- Buick city it's always some different aspect of it I can use a different architectural things are different. It just gonna play when there's a lot there at these giving me that. Work with and play around in and it's really just it's it's been a blasted US. It's. Chris really likes to roaring -- that's the a lot of them that he really likes drawing we have people so I just fill the -- with a certificate. So do you have like that sort of a slang and jargon in a lot of characters have like you have all that stuff down now that you just you just speak like right in his sleep. Again mostly mostly -- you know I -- was troubled from -- but yeah it's again it's -- that's part of stuff on. I've been thinking about two years so it's on a second nature."
" Now this is you bad I've seen you have a lot of the sort of graphic novels and U of IQ you've done novels director. But this is or your first ongoing long term series -- is if you haven't come to mean Imus at this point must feel pretty natural and not just introducing something and an ending in the short time right yes right."
" It's. It's one of those things -- writing an ongoing long forms monthly series is something that. View. It's very difficult destroyed until you do it it you can't really know -- expects. Eight it's just it's way it is they come it takes a real life it is a good way yet. It's hard work. But you can't get into a rhythm. Idea it's just it's a really really different thing to get it right yet professionals on novels videogames or whatever. And yes its people said to me before sideways on light you know of -- to definitely relating self involved. And -- AA have written comics on on on but that drops it right it's just the strangest experience."
" Agassi is personally done for a long time essence beginning in its. Can the same thing just. It's it's nice every morning waking up on which are going to be doing its that does that that mr. is that how -- a hundred and the page or pages depending. And -- after the last three years going into groups or actions were on the book you know we have not even halfway I know. And yet it's just again it's. It's fun to fill those pages -- of this -- this next to the sand you and so here's the city here's the Unix system. You know here's Michael with the -- custody yet it's just it's. There's always on the phone and advocates like him you know wrap my brain around today so."
" Terry Moore has gone -- it's sad that we're here we are yeah 2009 hear it again so on you more about a year plus into -- Yes and it's I think it's been a -- here. It's been a very good here and when asked me why tell us -- because we saw the film rights to -- Lloyd Levin who did watchman cowboy way. And I'll have proved that. It's our hair and a half. So -- con -- now I'm a con Edison idea of a little according to variety of con artist so now what is -- he sold the movie right so it does mean if you get made and it's it's it's -- in progress there. I sold it to get made I mean it's not an option -- OK good that's yet sometimes you hear about deals happening -- nothing ever happens and it -- that's when they option of rely you know. A hundred dollars right but I charged him out there was news so he has to make it now off. -- congratulations how involved in the production of unity. Well I'm told co producer let's -- I I don't know what that means I don't have any street cred you know in Hollywood so I guess that means they let me in the meeting. But not wise to listen to me and -- have -- a little statement that it itself and the book's been coming out -- every six weeks on schedule. Yes because Robin makes me this and think about it. If I didn't have that my wife to make resale schedule I'd be putting out of the year I promise that at at. So how has some baking -- on victory for the special you're saying on back on us on schedule at the strangers in and telling the story that's been in your head. It's been a lot of fun actually because among issue 14 -- halfway in. And now it's moved from being all that might have liked and figured out now I just kind of I feel like -- in sync with that image. I'm really enjoying the working creative process being -- this weird that something we never talked about like conventions and but when you get back to the studio it it's all this creative so in weird stuff that's hard to describe. And if it's working then your honor roll it it's not working you're screwed and when you start a series like I did this. You just have your trying to figured out like us. If puzzles like a crossword. But after awhile stuff gets rolling and that's -- finally got there thanks so I'm happy about that and is supposed to only got issued thirty such tight can't just ramble forever like that with this -- right so hopefully we get a nice tight story out of it. And it was not always the plan how to self and his soaring into the beginning middle men yeah no more is that these are no more rambling and now I don't doubt it though we loved it though we know that -- echoes supposed to be a movie is like. Being ending being reticent feels like more like a TV show that just goes on forever you just live with the characters what's the plot I don't know Bryant. And so honesty cancer is paradise that the on the -- is happening under the there was it was such ago there few months ago that we weren't gonna get nonetheless that was back on. How -- that hold on the bus thing happen. It was."
" Not gonna happen when we. We couldn't get diamond to agree with us to partner with this you know -- Typically what happens is diamond will say okay we're gonna -- this many and then that's what pays for the -- In this particular case we could never get that commitment out of them so we thought what the book is going to be -- too much money for us to do it ourselves. As time went on and we talked about it with the public and in on Twitter FaceBook and -- that we began to get a lot of confidence that we could sell it. Even with we didn't have time so we finally said okay we're just gonna do it and just in to some on the net and so we did we put up on the net herself. And cells were so good time is that -- By the way. We think we'll take some but they only to collect a small amount so. The print run is very limited and we have our. That's coming to San Diego should be here tomorrow. And then timing gets their batch and a few weeks and."
" And I -- your your ideal work because I was at work and I so each week. That it was gonna be out and then be divided I literally had to scramble from a credit card put it in this could affect a -- one and it's it's I'm glad that other fans were you know -- sort of instantly -- and then you get number two -- number one you know we're also we get the tapes. -- excellent so on so and as -- halfway -- Are you startled look at the next thing or are you gonna yeah yeah yeah yeah and you're super -- of and they got how many stories again. I have -- I have a lot of different things on the desk in. Robin Robin and I have talked about it we have three really strong candidates for what's next. We're done I'm done to get to it out at this point now when I'm trying to do is -- I want to make a number of different stories because you know may be some -- in this IP that they would like echo. So I wanna make a lot of variety out there so that people have something to read them about mine that's that would light and enough variety units such honors than -- echo you know I discredits and a little more science fiction conspiracy kind of thing on on definitely. Right. You know might. The stuff I love reading when I was kid with -- And so this my chance to do that this me do an X files really is this so. And that there's other stuff I wanted to do so I'm looking ports and what's next big fantasy dragons at -- future. You know -- I've never really stand up at night thinking about dragons. But I'm glad you confessed on there exactly -- that the."

Come into the -- I re re read your body of work just this really you know. And I I gotta say -- to some. Some themes that seem to recur. To have consistently through all of your stories and I was really wondering. Is this something that you you really thought about an -- as part your through creative process that he can he keep coming back to. It's it's kind of it's interesting to see how these things continue due to a change in in -- That's. We could but the question."
" Think about this."
" While while it. See it now it's. It. And just to do that. I'm sorry am I that was I don't know. That was profound I mean the interview questions. Were. Do I mean seriously it's more than this subject in the work really that story and yeah I mean where these guys behind him.

Yeah actually he's been pretty generous in again we're trying to do something has a -- McConnell books which is I mean to do it there's been plenty of crossovers. It hasn't been. Crossover with the story and cross over with a yard so we've got seven I was doing the artwork. Each manipulate our own character and then having to sort of go on the background have been pretty I do you the guy the very end so. I IE I -- so my guy did and then. I look at the pages ago paid. That is not there's gonna have a foot -- and isn't it because it might imaginary everybody's been very polite yet aboard a stop and start -- You know and -- I would draw too much because I know the other guys coming in you know again go all of -- up and then also -- ago. Are we missing elbows and and arms and near the little stuff the sort of hidden behind -- I Diana and that's I had fun sort of messing around -- completing some of those pages see benighted thinking over the the other guys still our own I was somewhat supposed to go. To the various guises and to me and then back out but it's the -- pencils are down there and I'm gonna group of the starting get away and given that everybody get deadlines. So far nobody from means a product of new and might character there I there I think the opposite ready to go out. Cruel dotting the character I don't have to do much work so that it's it's sort of fun jumping on some of the other characters events on. This so are you guys physically mailing the pages each other suspects loves you. But right now yeah it'd be that he's going to be the most expensive mailing book that period were trying to coordinated so did that to keep going back and forth. 100 -- jump on a couple other character. I don't look at those and send it back to marker rob I'll do do the guy right here and over don't just -- Excellent and so on and even work -- that Robert Portman wrote in the united but you've got to be projects with him and Ryan hotly what he tells on."
" Well a couple years ago. At a panel in a -- robber got up out of the crowd. I was in familiar with his face I'm from aren't working on his face and he just sort of challenges need ago. Tentative seven mortgages on where you just the once or phony and so if -- so we've been development for a couple years. We we should headed out earlier I just was. Busy with the -- project tonight I get down -- dive into it and announced that it was coming and put on a schedule so I can actually do vote. Real time tournament and so I've been able to do that now. And and and and bring great to belong to do impeccable storytelling with the layout. -- not please dial fantastic. And I come in there and ink on top of them and just do. A little bit of a different look -- what you see -- invincible just a little bit clean this you know this is a little bit moody or books on differing and different styles."
" But also so you're painting Dolly's pencils up a couple of laughs that's a that's a once a close again muted drawing again right if he had no not gonna become -- back doing more -- get them and be doing a bunch of work on if you 200 respond. All right and then I'll be doing. Some pages that we lead up to -- 250 -- get figures don't again this accident and how is -- with the -- launch some -- re -- a kind of wheels came on -- and have you been happy about it but the progressing yeah yeah --"
" We you know we've gone -- mean it. All artists are always think they're elusive perfect fit. Effective. It issue was always an excellent credit and -- I think it's 295. And it's good to me it's it's it's going to be 196 right itself that this could actually keep you dry it's driving right I think it's the same reason why people golf. And next round going to be my mind my rounds so McConnell books -- good that we we. We -- our book and and you always sort of scratch your head guy could have done that and then that it had more time -- it -- you back to the board doing all -- so you -- issue 200 let's -- little -- will what are we have a little it -- a sore -- in the two under the -- Which is a huge expulsion by the way everything especially from mine independent perspective I I believe it other than maybe Dave -- Surface who went 300 as you and -- might be on at a book. Don't call it might be doing an independent vote to sort of get to that lofty number. So we're we'll have a big sort of climactic story and it's wanted to be villains dominance of revelation on our news on an. With the new. 200 you know in the Minnesota. An uptick in me and and showing you some art which is sort of -- coming back mixing it up with some of the other artists. -- Yeah I you know I don't I I was away for -- on a regular basis and I did not cover and I we do and editing and stuff like that could -- get my hands. Pretty dirty right now is -- writing the book. Doing all the -- placements you know. Do color correction speaker -- the -- move the balloons around. Do all -- inking and start to do -- apparently so and it didn't and it sort of reminds me of sort of a simpler time when I was younger that you vigilant following. But I didn't have a bunch of corporations and you know by its employees and -- some of its obligation to do with food banks and economies and on that other stuff self it's a friendly reminder to go you know tumbled to pretty cool."
" Have you seen twilight. I haven't -- of hearing about it everywhere at the con what is it I think it's a movie. The movie can I watch a -- get on dvd I think it is available on dvd where can I get it Netflix that. Flicks dot com is replaced or dvds online all that really gonna do is go sign up they ship them surging house you don't pay shipping a postal.

I don't know who is a minority whether I'm here James Robinson I didn't today I'm doing very well thank. The last time we had you on the show you were just starting to back it is in -- sort of the full swing right off the -- full time again husband has last year Brigham and."
" What's been very exciting arena coming -- is so much fun to be collaborating with the you know Greg -- just Johnstone and dates. My edit so bad ought to listen -- it's it's just wonderful to be above that I try to group. -- that allows us to move forward together in a separate books but is it as a group so that the Superman line is getting stronger and I think most of us insisting."
" What citizen because there are a bunch of -- it's obviously and everybody tell their own story. But everything is interconnected is clicking really well together. Is that a result you guys doing a lot of collaboration -- I mean do you feel like it's working really you know really."
" I'm not absolutely. Every week we have called the school. It's a physical was code that goes on thought quite a few hours. -- and it -- Alston -- on the surface it's light well. Do we even need it to do it this week that we'll get all the fun and really I just apply again. Some mobile we'll have an idea and -- look at other idea -- Is that level of -- and also went on just trying to come up with -- ideas. And I'd add them you know this look Lois should do this it's been actually comments even about going to do whatever. So it's a very generous group intensive. But trying to -- of make each of his books has been sick and knowing that the event date the -- finished. They did result is that the Superman families and better for it."
" Now you also collaborating as exiting the Greg rock on with the new Krypton."
" How does that work you guys like plot out things and split the pages yes."
" We we we reported out that we beat out. What's on each tie each. That we. It just bought it up you know which it's which scenes do we like. Do we have enormous affinity people up we try to get it is because we can't deliver quite as each sometimes you know it's ten to twelve that we we try and do the reverse of that the next time you know it's a real person has twelve pages. And it is it like half the book -- fight is an -- to within he'll do three depending on what what what -- six assists and highlight the fact that. In the end it feels like one rights at his other hopeful."
" Ljubicic is you know I've read both you guys for a long time and you don't. I wouldn't I wouldn't city your books -- like is when I read that book I can't tell who's doing what I noticed that states."
" I cause I I I honestly I don't know why it's like that because he doesn't go through it might do a -- together any of that. It's just somehow the campus would get together. Stood writes Elizabeth outfit and he's just. A complete lucky fluke and super writer will destroy us all well my via the idea."
" And in the Superman book it was announced longtime another in -- Superman and Superman book and I may -- to minimize that that's that's odd that's weird but -- this care c'mon now. On the most people don't know very well but I found to be very engaging and an even like being at the -- impanel. Is this fall I've never seen people so excited about the world of Superman in the books that are coming out well."
" I I have decided I was very happy at that particular panel that you mention it that it wasn't a very full panel -- relatively -- time in -- the diarrhea at the convention. I had a supposed to do people raise their hand signed note -- legacy man always you've been coming back you know to action. It that we -- what was going on -- about it in those books so it shows that we -- doing something right. I love right but no I've always loved the -- superheroes and get his chance to. Let's let's show that character. I'm -- about to begin a five all which lead into BC 700 code one Aleman of ballot. Where he had you'll you'll see he has I eat at you up a new costume. I -- outlook. I'm just -- it just so that even within the time the Mon islands in the book you Doug. Begin to expect what's gonna happen I'm gonna get -- up checked you won't want to watch. And then I also love writing Jim up with a guardian of the signs police. I and he also has and it's a via a -- in that he's a father and he's great at giving notice he's -- leading he's good -- looking up to people. But in his mind. He has done it in a world where we I believe it no matter what you personal belief is about god and weather is on not a good. In the DC universe -- there is a dog witnesses Specter in the isn't all this supernatural stuff going on so. He questions -- so. -- pussy so despondent fearing thinking about that wolf because of his his his daughter whose clients female Siebel that'll go. So that's an emotional through -- that will eventually I opened the book to unravel this plants aren't."
" You're also working on Justice League. One of the things interesting about that is you gotta put a whole new team together and do what's things a what does it thing about when you're throwing those people together -- on on here on your specialty."
" Well it's a combination of them to. You just what a riot and two world service city. So I was aware that there were three stabbing my goal is. Innocent man is its bytes Bruce Wayne is. All gone for now and I felt that one doing had her -- Colorado and issues in our book so -- to try and make the team great again -- deeply whilst dealing with what I had so. I -- he's on now all I wanted to use Dick Grayson bad man and I'm really wanted to build -- to this because parents. That people are excited about. I'm Dana I want to -- some people from Mike brought to justice book I wanted to. Acknowledged that that was -- existing -- of those characters. And like positively good discount dissolved like I can tell you -- they're oh there's these -- are announced indicted in the panel there is one now there is the degrees of bad man. There is Donna Troy this is how Jordan. Great -- and there is can't grow up both bills -- deploy him. But there not so there -- another six characters. Seven. Encourages them -- yet again -- big team -- they're big team and I wanna give it to feel the book the feel that. -- have a good team if you need adult tough. Suddenly got to midnight in the book if you need help. Getting to the city for the world -- take costs of the book so that's fans. Never know what to expect that at any inning in any book there's always something exciting news I -- Charlotte is is designed that the Mexican. Black Iron Man character so he'll be in the -- at some -- to -- doesn't make his. -- exciting in and -- what what to expect a huge respect any -- I was -- buildup. The Justice League villa -- rose gallery which is part of go to bits albeit of a -- and I'd like to make then integrate village again so the idea parents of a desperado that's it you're excited by it off. The field these characters that I think of have been allowed so flounder we've. Perhaps he would not giving them the attention of the -- that they deserve work."
" You mean you have succeeding encyclopedia. It is an encyclopedic knowledge of all these these obscure characters that people in this even people in the storm and things like that. But he's just like -- that made an impression on you do go back and read like a lot of old stories."
" By eight lately it's been lately I have been. During hello like searching around on the Internet trying to find those those obscures an obscure characters on -- blog but I. I just thought I was gonna DC got one of the suggests. Jeff says Jeff Jeff Johnson said makes -- riders IDC very important. -- said it's like it's its -- it's me it's rob Morrison. Well why would -- DC Greg rock study guides we old. But DC doesn't love the book would not just political writers who. How could rewrite these city and I'm not discouraging other -- the right is that at DC. Old old old old old rising -- of the week we would broadly what he did DC than anywhere else so as a result. I just absolve all Latin -- Information and aegis system was stuck with -- of the go to night it was a disk to. And being able to apply that it is very very exciting to."
" I feel it one more question I feel like in this sort of in a previously you had done star man which is RG you write it by yourself. Where is now you very for collaborative I mean are you picking up a lot of different things from working and all these other guys."
" Well it it was it was always like snowman the book that people were split some of them as a book that -- responded to if it'd been. In the hog the DC universe it would have been wolf when it would have been a different book. It being off and it's a real world the way it was definitely -- book if you write the Justice League. He passed it should be voted every event is going these few of us has to be one of the big wheels is driving the overruled story. Engine of the of of the of the DC will excite the if you -- Superman so I went into it wanted to -- a variety of wanting to. 222. Have an exchange of ideas with -- these other Rogers who I respect so highly I'm very excited with the Justice League -- As a result of that -- quite closely to that you price could obviously the right drawn green -- so there's there's lots of things. Coming up you know. Being able to communicate and and throw ideas that a while because of that throughout his back is by the thought of what we do in the month."
" We're -- you know. 1090. -- printed in English and to whom. I don't know what stuff -- I've been wondering around forever. I think that sucker BC but it might just gonna do. Other than that this has nothing to do anything I understand. It's UC com."
