CBR TV @ CCI: LAYMAN ON "DETECTIVE COMICS," "CHEW" & "SECRET AGENT POYO"

Writer John Layman joins CBR TV to talk about the most recent development in his career, having recently been announced as the new writer on DC Comics' "Detective Comics," explaining how the gig writing Batman came about and who the Dark Knight is to him. Layman also hints at the type of stories he plans to tell over the course of his run and how he plans to work alongside Scott Snyder's "Batman" plans.

Next, Layman discusses his and co-creator Rob Guillory's "Chew," focusing on the just-released "Secret Agent Poyo" one-shot which he described as "'Chew' without the rules." The writer explains why he can't imagine ever producing a "Chew" story without Guillory involved as well as why he has no plans to work on more than one creator-owned series at a time.

The ever-gestating Showtime series is touched on as well, with Layman assuring fans that the series is still moving forward, albeit slowly, and passing on the advice he's received from "Walking Dead" creator Robert Kirkman on what to do while he and Guillory are waiting for the show to kick into gear.

Being dead never looked so good. With the quiet resurrection of their National Comics properties, DC Comics has produced a solid debut with Kid Eternity. Artists Cully Hamner and Derec Donovan add plenty of style to Jeff Lemire's accessible, pilot episode-style script, and the result shows a lot of potential.
Considering how many comics these days hit the stands with lackluster art, watching Hamner and Donovan flex their muscles is the real treat of this book. The linework is smooth, confident, strong, as we watch Christopher Freeman sleep, his brain weirdly visible to the readers' eyes. There are some fun visual tweaks that add a lot to this comic, particularly the thick glasses that suddenly turn '60s cool when Freeman activates his powers. Val Staples' colorwork is also pitch-perfect for this story, adding moodiness with his blues, purples and reds.

The strength of the visuals, the fact that we genuinely enjoy watching Freeman move through the city is what propels the story forward. Writer Jeff Lemire should get credit for the pacing of this first issue, which follows Freeman journeying into the underworld and solving a man's death all within the span of a single issue. It's accessible, it has a nice hint of self-deprecation for Freeman's expository narration, and I think that should be a prerequisite for what is essentially a police procedural with dead people.

That said... it's also a police procedural with dead people. The downsides for this comic are twofold: the mystery isn't really mysterious enough to add much to the cop show genre, and occasionally the plot moves into the realm of "too convenient." There's one scene, as Freeman and the ghost of a shooting victim begin to exchange some harsh words, where you realize Lemire had to get some personal stakes into Freeman's story — but it's a bit much to expect a random stranger, dead or not, would suddenly be cutting into our hero's daddy issues.

That all said, this story is solid enough, getting its point across and getting some really nice artwork in the process. It would have been nice for Kid Eternity to have been a little more ambitious, but setting up a stable foundation isn't always a bad decision. Here's hoping that as Lemire finds his feet, this comic will take its hero's human ties and use them to the fullest.

8/10

Announcing "H'EL ON EARTH"

This fall, there will be an electrifying crossover occurring in SUPERMAN, SUPERBOY and SUPERGIRL. Spanning across all the series’ #14 issues, “H’el on Earth” will put these super-beings into battle with the maniacal alien, H’el.
 
Written by Tom DeFalco and featuring art by R.B. Silva and Rob Lean, SUPERBOY #14 guest stars Supergirl and the Teen Titans. Fresh from the events of SUPERMAN #13, Superman’s deadliest new foe comes after Kon-El!
 
Picking up right there, Supergirl too meets the villainous H’el. But what happens when Kara finds herself agreeing with his pro-Krypton/anti-Earth plans? SUPERGIRL #14 is written by Mike Johnson and illustrated by Mahmud Asrar.
 
And in SUPERMAN #14, written by Scott Lobdell and illustrateed by Kenneth Rocafort, the Man of Steel himself will be forced to come face to face with the gang’s worst nightmare: a creature of unknown Kryptonian origin who is not only more powerful than Superman, but is also smarter than Supergirl and more lethal than Superboy. How will Superman combat a threat of this magnitude? We don’t want to spoil anything so all we can say for now is that his actions will change the course of a planet’s fate!
 
Below, take an exclusive first look at “H’el on Earth” by checking out the covers for SUPERBOY #14, SUPERGIRL #14 and SUPERMAN #14.

[Clark Kent]

Qualche anima pia avrebbe voglia di farmi un riassuntino?

[Matches Malone]

Ci sarà un crossover che coinvolgerà Superman, Superboy e Supergirl e introdurrà il personaggio di H'el, a quanto pare un kryptoniano malvagio

[Clark Kent]

Grazie mille
