depth endless enjoyed reasons stories time
I've been writing 'Green Lantern' for a long time, and one of the reasons I've enjoyed it is because the depth of stories you can tell is pretty endless with space and everything.
casts comics costumes people supporting time
I think supporting casts in comics are missing. I think a lot of the time in comics, all we have are people in costumes talking to other people in costumes, superheroes talking to superheroes and supervillains, and that's it.
character fantastic
I think he's going to be a fantastic new character.
guy humans perception showing starting super takes talking
'Justice League' takes place in the past, and Aquaman has a lot more to prove. He's just starting out. The perception is already beginning, and all these super humans are just showing up, and here's Aquaman. The perception is, 'What's next? Now we've got a guy talking to fish. What can be next?'
carries carry certainly dc feels hope premier
I think Aquaman feels - and deservedly so - like an A-list, premier DC hero. I hope that carries on; it certainly will carry over to Justice League.
problem pull soon stories superhero work works
The problem is there are so many stories out there where I can pull that superhero out, put any other superhero in, and the story works the same. For me, that's broken. I have to write a story that no one else but Aquaman or Shazam can be in, and as soon as you pull that character out and out someone else in, it doesn't work.
dc except love
I love every character in the DC universe, except for Rampage. Rampage is a She-Hulk rip-off, and I like She-Hulk.
entering pop
Everyone knows Aquaman, probably from all the animation he's been in over the years from the '70s and the '80s, entering him into the pop culture.
continue experience might reflecting
'Forever Evil' is, ultimately, a Lex Luthor story. And everything in there is reflecting who Lex is and what he's going through. And we continue to learn more and more things about him that we might not know, and he's going to continue to experience things and do things that are surprising, I think, to even him - especially us.
anyone appreciate artists ask best business city crisis dc efforts excited family fellow grant help home infinite insane jam known mark opportunity orleans people please readers red series stars stopped thanks throughout tomorrow words
I started at DC with Stars & S.T.R.I.P.E. and I've never stopped having fun, ... I'm working with the best people in the business -- my fellow writers, artists and editors. And with Infinite Crisis just about here (finally!) and Grant Morrison, Mark Waid, Greg Rucka and Keith Giffen on this insane jam series known as 52, I'm really excited for what tomorrow brings. Thanks to everyone, the readers and the retailers, for their support. My family and I appreciate it more than words could ever say. I would also like to take this opportunity to ask if anyone can help with the Red Cross's efforts throughout the South, and my wife's home city of New Orleans in particular, please go to www.redcross.org and give what you can. Thank you so much.
characters comics dc greatest
Aquaman is one of the greatest characters at DC Comics and one of my favorites.
brought comic continues dc hoping huge level stay
Aquaman has the ability to be a huge character, and I think we really brought him to a new level in comic books, and I'm hoping that new level continues to everything that is DC Entertainment. Certainly, that's the goal. He's one of our most recognizable and most important characters, and it's going to continue to stay that way.
cold demeanor given lab power ring scientist sees
Deathstorm sees Power Ring as a fascinating experiment. Deathstorm is a scientist who's been merged with the dead body of his lab assistant. It's given him a cold demeanor and a clammy touch.
freaked nobody worked
One of the things that I thought really worked was that you have 'Smallville' on television and 'Superman Returns' come out in the theater, and it was fine. Nobody freaked out; nobody thought they were competing.
