This afternoon, we’re going to take a look at what the comic book trade press is saying about JUSTICE LEAGUE #1 and The New 52 – including their interviews with some of the talented people behind the launch.

* ICV2 featured a three-part piece on The New 52 – featuring interviews with DC Entertainment Co-Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, conducted in advance of San Diego Comic-Con. Said DiDio: “Our numbers are up in the mass market over-all in conjunction with graphic novel sales.” Check them out here: Part One, Part Two, Part Three.

* COMIC BOOK RESOURCES showcased a Comic-Con video interview with BATWING and CATWOMAN writer Judd Winick, who discusses his extensive research for the BATWING book and the timeless appeal of CATWOMAN. Also featured is an interview with writer Paul Jenkins about redefining Deadman in DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS.

* Newsarama offered a comprehensive primer on The New 52 as whole, and also served up some interviews with the writers behind the various series – including writer J.T. Krul (Captain Atom) and Paul Cornell (DEMON KNIGHTS).

* Over at iFanboy, Ron Richards and Conor Kilpatrick each listed their top five (and bonus five) picks for the most anticipated New 52 titles – with JUSTICE LEAGUE topping both lists.

* Comic Vine offered their own perspectives and interpretations of the new Batgirl pages that debuted in the NY Post, while writer Scott Lobdell (TEEN TITANS, SUPERBOY) provided some insider insights on the launch.

* ComicBook.com listed the five things they love most about The New 52 – including greater ethnic diversity, more women, day-and-date digital releases and DC’s confidence in the launch.

* DreadCentral.com picked up The Source’s preview of The New 52’s ANIMAL MAN, with extensive art. Also included was a full breakdown of New 52 titles that may be of interest to horror fans.

There’s more rolling in by the minute, and we’re expecting even more once JUSTICE LEAGUE hits the shelves. Stay tuned.

This Just Happened: Justice League: Generation Lost #22

There are times when writing about the events in a comic book that one can’t say too much for fear of spoiling the story. Such is the case with JUSTICE LEAGUE: GENERATION LOST issue 22, written by Judd Winick and with art by Joe Bennett, Jack Jadson, & Ruy Jose, available in comic book stores and digitally today. There’s a major reveal in the first three pages, so if you haven’t already read your copy, then whatever you do, don’t click on the “jump” for (spoiler alert!) commentary by Judd Winick and preview pages.

"Many readers thought we were really killing off Blue Beetle. And that doesn't surprise me. We tried pretty hard to make that seem like it was truly the case. But MOST importantly, it was about the characters experiencing Jaime's death. It was much needed calm before the storm. And in finding out that he's still among the living, it's the kick in the butt they need to get them to finish this. The end is near. And the readers will really, REALLY, want to see how this all plays out." – Judd Winick.[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="2"]
