A note from Bob Harras about DC Comics-The New 52

This has been such a monumental week for DC Comics. What we launched with (the already sold out!) JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 was absolutely amazing. And what’s more exciting still is that it was just a first taste of what’s to come.

Next week marks the release of a slew of incredible series. With ACTION COMICS, writer Grant Morrison and artist Rags Morales’ new interpretation of Superman will seriously blow people away. It really sets the tone for a contemporary Man of Tomorrow. And the dynamic is totally different.

But that’s not all. Jeff Lemire and Travel Foreman’s ANIMAL MAN is a remarkable book that I could not be more excited about.

Gail Simone will be reintroducing Barbara Gordon in the role of BATGIRL with her signature dark, twisted, and brilliant storytelling, accompanied by Ardian Syaf’s breathtaking artwork.

Judd Winick and Ben Oliver's debut collaboration, BATWING, will astound you.

Tony Daniel’s art and story in DETECTIVE COMICS will really surprise people.

GREEN ARROW is a fascinating new take on Oliver Queen and his mission to change the world one arrow at a time.

Rob Liefeld could not be more excited to be returning to HAWK AND DOVE – and his enthusiasm really shows in the final product.

In JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL, Dan Jurgens and Aaron Lopresti have created a team of super heroes led by Booster Gold whose adventures will be spanning the globe.

MEN OF WAR is a truly different and fresh take on a war book, especially considering the context of it being set against the backdrop of the DC Universe.

O.M.A.C. is a non-stop action-packed series that I can best describe as big and loud fun.

In STATIC SHOCK, Static comes to Manhattan and his life changes forever in unforeseeable ways.

Paul Cornell’s STORMWATCH is stuffed with surprises and new characters that will take the series into very exciting (and completely unexpected!) places. Not to mention, Miguel Sepulveda’s artwork is beyond stunning.

And in SWAMP THING, the Plant Elemental will finally return to its own series. Scott Snyder and Yanick Paquette have created an extraordinary series and have really made Swamp Thing their own. You won’t want to miss it.

And that’s just week one.

Who’s Who at DC Comics-The New 52: Dan Jurgens

THE SOURCE: How do you write the first line of a new series?

DAN JURENS: I don't know if it's as easy as, "How do you write the first line". The first line is dictated, or at least suggested by the characters, setting and overall sense of motivation and purpose in the first scene. It's a natural extension of what is already there. Conjuring up that very first scene, however, is crucial.

How do you draw a first panel of a first issue?

For me, the first panel, which is often a splash page, is always about instant communication. Ideally, it's something that brings the reader in right away. One way or another, be it a single, powerful visual or compelling scene, the first page should be an instant hook.

How do you introduce a new hero?

Something about a new character should be evident in his first appearance. It can be the way he talks, the way he moves, his power or lack thereof. While there's always more to be added to a character later, the initial appearance should be typical of him and him alone.

How do you introduce characters?

If it's a question of introducing characters, which sounds a little like it's supposed to mean supporting cast, that can be done more enigmatically. I think a writer wants to suggest that there's more there than meets they eye, that the characters have some sense of depth and backstory that makes them interesting.

How do you draw a first appearance?

When drawing the first appearance of a character it's important to give them some kind of visual identifier that makes them easily recognizable. That could be a style of clothing, a distinctive build, a cigarette... any number of things. But it should be clear and evident right from the start.

How do you introduce a new villain?

That depends on whether the reader is supposed to know they're a villain. Sometimes, the most effective villains are the ones who first seem to be squeaky clean and innocent. Though that, in and of itself, could be a tip-off!

If not, however, I think a villain has to have presence. They have to feel like true heavyweights.

What was the first comic you ever worked on?

WARLORD #82.

Who was the first character you followed?

Batman was the first character I followed, due to the TV series. SUPERMAN was the first comic I bought, however, and therefore the first character I started following in comics.

What was the first series you collected?

I think the first series I really made a point of collecting, rather than just reading an occasional story here and there, was THE JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. I'm not sure, but as a kid, I think I kind of felt that I was getting more for my money with JLA because there so many heroes inside!

Who was the first writer you followed?

The first writer I consciously followed was Stan Lee. There were DC writers before him that I was attracted to, like Gardner Fox, but I wasn't really aware of it because they didn't have credits in those days.

Who was the first artist you followed?

That's a tie between Curt Swan and Jack Kirby. I remember liking Curt Swan's Superman more than the other versions and being awed by the power of Kirby's Marvel stuff around the same time.

What was the first convention you attended as a fan?

I attended a small Con in Minneapolis, right around 1980 or '81, I think.

What was the first convention you attended as a professional?

Chicago Con, 1982!

What was the first comic book you read?

BATMAN #156, with the classic "Robin Dies at Dawn" cover. A friend of mine had an older brother who had that comic and let us read it. I saw that cover and really thought it meant that Robin was dead and gone forever-- never to be seen again! The first comic I ever bought was SUPERMAN #189.

What was your first job in the comic book industry?

Drawing THE WARLORD for DC.

On your creative process:

In terms of my creative process, I'm still kind of reshaping that. Typically, I write and draw my own stories. When I do that, I don't see it as two different jobs, one writing and one drawing. I see it as one more organic process where one flows into the other.

However, with the New 52, I'm writing one book and drawing another.

For JLI, which I'm writing, it's a matter of really trying to hone in on Aaron Lopresti's strengths. I've always felt it's important for writers to establish some sense of mutual vision with their artists, and that means creating the right kind of scenario that allows them to excel. Aaron is doing incredible working and knocking the ball out of the park on almost every page. Within that context, it's a matter of building intriguing story and character situations right from the start, as well as building a little bit of fun into the story.

For GREEN ARROW, which JT Krul is writing, it's a question of trying to get into JT's head a little bit to find out exactly what it is that's most important to him in terms of the characterization of GA, as well as the rest of the cast. We're trying to build a new visual identity for GA, to make him younger and more fresh, and that part of it is actually a lot of fun. At the same time, I have to make sure I give inker extraordinaire George Perez everything he needs to take the work to the next level.

Who’s Who at DC Comics-The New 52: JT Krul

THE SOURCE: How do you introduce a new hero?

JT KRUL: As always, with a bang. You want to see them come right out at you in a big and bold way. Show why these heroes are not only cool, but also totally kickass. From the first few pages, you want readers to be like - "Damn, I want to be Green Arrow." I kept thinking of all those great James Bond openings in all the films. Intense action, incredible odds, and there's this guy in the middle of it - cool as a cucumber (or whatever your vegetable of choice is).

How do you introduce a new villain?

Introducing a new villain can vary greatly depending on the core psychosis behind the character. Some are more visceral characters that come right at you. Again, a big bang. For instance, Doomsday crashing down in the middle of Metropolis to destroy everything. Others work better with a slow burn. You give the reader a taste of them, without really saying just how good or bad they are going to be. Blur the lines a little before you pull back the curtain and reveal their horrific nature.

What was the first comic you ever worked on?

My very first story ever was a short story in X-Men Unlimited #1 drawn by Tom Mandrake. It was a small story about mutants on Halloween being able to blend in with the rest of society for a brief time. My first story DC was a two-part Doctor Mid-Nite story in JSA Classified all made possible by Mike Marts giving me a shot. Alex Sanchez drew the issue about the good doctor going up against a man convinced he was an actual vampire.

Who was the first character you followed?

Batman. I mean, who doesn't immediately start following him the moment you discover him? Most likely, the greatest comic book hero of all time.

What was the first series you collected?

Uncanny X-Men was the first one that really burned in my brain. During those Chris Claremont days, I really got into the serialized aspect of the storytelling. I was hooked.

Who was the first writer you followed?

Chris Claremont for Uncanny X-Men, and Dennis O'Neil. I discovered him with Green Arrow then hunted down all his Question stories. An amazing book.

What was the first convention you attended as a professional?

Wizard World LA in Long Beach. It was also the first time I met Dan DiDio.

What was the first comic book you read?

Uncanny X-Men #132 & Action Comics #482. They belonged to my uncle. I found his stash of comics in an old Canada Dry box.

What was the first piece of original art you bought?

The first cover to my first full issue story. Fathom: Dawn of War - Cannon Hawke Special. Art by Koi Turnbull.

What was the first digital comic book you downloaded?

I think my very first one was Blackest Night #0.

Dan Jurgens on George Perez inking GREEN ARROW

[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="2"]

This fall, a new era begins for Oliver Queen. We caught up with GREEN ARROW penciller Dan Jurgens about working on the series’ art with industry legend George Perez.

“Once upon a time, I was asked to draw an issue of Teen Titans because the book's usual artist, George Perez, needed a break,” Dan told us. “Marv Wolfman was the writer, and one of the things his script asked for was a double page spread with so much detail that it would ‘make George Perez jealous’.

Ri-i-i-ght. As if I, or anyone else, could have done so. When it comes to detail, or, more importantly, attention to detail, George is unequaled. Some people view that as an element of his personal style, which is true. But, more importantly, that stylistic detail exemplifies the fact that he cares tremendously about the quality of his work. George's commitment to the page, be it as writer, penciller or inker, is second to none.

That's why J.T. Krul and I are so thrilled to have George inking GREEN ARROW. In the first issue, I drew a spread with a cobblestone street, simply because I knew George could make it sing. Now, that might not sound like much in and of itself, but in terms of making a page work with a sense of something extra, that's a fastball down the middle of the plate for George. He'll put it in the seats every time.

George's legendary status in this business is well earned. It's a pleasure to work with him again and a total and complete thrill to watch him elevate the art on GREEN ARROW into something special.”

GREEN ARROW #1, written by J.T. Krul and featuring art by Dan Jurgens and George Perez, goes on sale September 7th.
