SDCC 2010: DC UNIVERSE: EVENT HORIZON – Jimmy Olsen, WEIRD WORLDS and more

It’s early afternoon in lovely San Diego and we’re almost at the halfway point of the show, but don’t let that fool you into thinking we’re done making news. In fact, we’ve got two images to get your mind whirring as you head into Room 6A for the DC.

That’s definitely Jimmy Olsen. But who’s that with him? Looks a lot like Chloe Sullivan, doesn’t it? It is, and it’ll be Chloe’s first appearance in the DC Universe proper, as part of the upcoming JIMMY OLSEN co-feature.

Garbage Man? Looks like Aaron Lopresti art. Could this have something to do with the WEIRD WORLDS title we’ve heard mentioned recently? You’re getting warmer.

Let’s check in with Senior Story Editor Ian Sattler to shed some more light on these two items and see what else attendees can expect to hear about on the panel. Take it away, Ian:

“DC Universe: Event Horizon is your ticket to all things DCU. We’ve got a great list of creators joining us and more than a few surprises up our sleeves that you won’t find at any other panel. Seriously – I ‘m worried we’re gonna break the projector with all the slides we have ready for this one. And who knows, the right question at this panel could land you a spot in a future DC Nation. See you there!”

Editor Wil Moss on the JIMMY OLSEN co-feature

Superman's pal takes center stage when a new JIMMY OLSEN co-feature starts in September's ACTION COMICS #893! Written by rising star Nick Spencer (of such buzzed-about Image mini-series as EXISTENCE 2.0, FORGETLESS and the upcoming MORNING GLORIES) and drawn by R.B. Silva (who's drawing July's SECRET SIX #23), this co-feature promises to be a whole lotta fun. We'll let Nick tell you a little about his take on Jimmy:

"Jimmy works best as a character when you play up his fun side, when you embrace the insanity that is his life. He's a ridiculous guy living in a ridiculous world, and he's determined to make the most of it. He doesn't need to be 'matured' or made more 'serious.' And he's also not, as he sometimes seems to be portrayed, an 'Aw shucks!' naiveté -- Jimmy is clever, street-smart, and at times downright suave. And in this ACTION COMICS co-feature, he'll get a real chance to show off what can he do as he deals with threats that have a decidedly post-modern, pop culture inspired-bent."

So be there in September for the start of an exciting new story unlike any other in the DCU - bowties optional!

Thanks Wil (and Nick)! Stay tuned to The Source for a first-look at Silva’s take on Jimmy Olsen in the coming weeks.
