DC Comics: Progetti Futuri (USA) 1.0

[Green Hankey]

Ecco i primi 2 probabili titoli della new wave



DC Comics has been on the cutting edge of trying bold, new things for that last few years and this announcement is no exception. With these two brand new titles, DC Comics is taking the themes and issues that came to the surface with the Occupy Wall Street movement and are bringing both sides of the coin into the world of superheroes.

Since that seems to match the sensibility of the readers here, what better place to announce these new books and reveal this new artwork than the Huffington Post?

The two companion titles, helmed by Gail Simone and Art Baltazar and Franco, respectively, take on the rich and the poor in the super-powered DC universe.

I asked Gail Simone to tell me about her book to get a better sense of what it is and what we'll see.

The Movement is an idea I've had for some time. It's a book about power -- who owns it, who uses it, who suffers from its abuse. As we increasingly move to an age where information is currency, you get these situations where a single viral video can cost a previously unassailable corporation billions, or can upset the power balance of entire governments. And because the sources of that information are so dispersed and nameless, it's nearly impossible to shut it all down.
But since this is DC Comics, Simone let me in on how this sensibility of story will fit in a world of superheroes:

The previous generations of superheroes were not created to address this, it's a legitimately new frontier, both for the real world and for storytellers. It's an adventure story, but it really isn't about mad scientists and jewel heists, it's more about the injustices that can affect real people's lives, just tarted up in costumes and superpowers.
Baltazar and Franco's book, The Green Team, explores the question of wealth buying super-power in a world of heroes. It's also their first official story in DC's New 52.

Neither of these books come out until May, which means we have a while to wait, but this tease has got me extremely excited and curious. Gail Simone is one of my favorite writers (and her Twitter feed is hilarious) and Baltazar and Franco are also two of my favorites; their book Tiny Titans is a monthly must-read for myself and my daughter.

Intervista a Gail Simone

It was announced via my piece at The Huffington Post that Gail Simone would be working on a new title for DC's New 52 called The Movement, taking on the political 99% in the world of DC Superheroes.

I got to talk to her about the book briefly. I'll be honest, I know very little about this project so far, literally everything I know is in the interview and solicitation below. The book doesn't come out until May and it has me decidedly intrigued and excited.

Bryan Young: What attracted you to a title that sounds so politically charged? Can you tell me a little bit about what we're getting into?

Gail Simone: The Movement is an idea I've had for some time. It's a book about power–who owns it, who uses it, who suffers from its abuse. As we increasingly move to an age where information is currency, you get these situations where a single viral video can cost a previously unassailable corporation billions, or can upset the power balance of entire governments.

And because the sources of that information are so dispersed and nameless, it's nearly impossible to
shut it all down. I've been in countries where the internet is heavily censored, but they can't possibly keep up with millions of users from every corner of the world.

The previous generations of superheroes were not created to address this, it's a legitimately new frontier, both for the real world and for storytellers.

The thing I find fascinating and a little bit worrisome is, what happens when a hacktivist group whose politics you find completely repulsive has this same kind of power and influence...what if a racist or homophobic group rises up and organizes in the same manner?

It makes you wonder where the next battlefield will be.

BY: Is this going to be a more serious book? Or are we going to be getting plenty of funny, too?

GS: It's both, I think the themes are pretty meaningful and compelling as drama, but even firefighters and soldiers have that gallows humor. There's some darkly funny stuff, certainly.

It's an adventure story, but it really isn't about mad scientists and jewel heists, it's more about
the injustices that can affect real people's lives, just tarted up in costumes and superpowers.

Many of the best revolutions had a pretty decent wit to them, to be fair.

BY: What makes you proud of this title so far?

GS: I like that there hasn't been a book quite like it before. The designs of the characters, by the wonderfully talented Freddie Williams, make me very happy. They don't look like the Avengers or the Justice League.

It just feels like a very new kind of superhero book. Even the 'hero' part gets a little
shaky, at times.

BY: What is it you hope comics readers come away from the book with?

GS: On the one hand, I hope they enjoy it for the modern fantasy. We're not trying to preach
platitudes at people. I happen to love superhero comics, especially the crazy glamor and thrills they contain.

But on the other, I think the backdrop is a slice of reality that we're unlikely to see in most superhero books. And I find that tremendously exciting.

I love to be surprised.

Intervista a Art Baltazar

It was announced via my piece at The Huffington Post that Art Baltazar and Franco would be writing their first book in the New 52. The Green Team is a book about the wealthy and wonders what would happen in the DC Universe if you had limitless financial resources, could you buy power? Could you buy superpowers?

The book doesn't come out until May and the details I know are literally contained completely in the interview and solicitation for the book below:

Bryan Young: On the surface, this book sounds silly based on the solicits, but it seems like it has a pretty important grounding. What brought you to want to do this book, and I'm assuming it's retaining your sense of humour?

FRANCO:DC knew we were the right team for the job. They knew our sense of humor would be an important element of the book but they also knew we could bring the story that would make this something people would want to read. Intrigue, young love, money and even these superpowers beings that inhabit the world.

ART: Who are they again?

FRANCO: You know, Superman, Wonder Woman, those guys.

ART: I looked at the original designs and concepts of these characters and was looking forward to giving them a major update. This gives us the chance of making older, obsolete characters relevant ...and awesome in the new DC universe. We also had certain pop culture and social media references and questions that we wanted to bring up.

FRANCO: Yeah, when we started to talk about what these characters looked and acted like if they were around today what would that be and the answers and stories wrote themselves, it was our job to type them up in script form and send them in.

BY: It sounds like this book is going to have some socially redeeming qualities, can you tell me more about that?

FRANCO: What comes to mind is: Can money make you happy?

ART: The real question is: Can money buy you anything in the DC universe? Would it make you powerful? Can it make you a hero? Can money make you...Super?

FRANCO: If you had unlimited wealth, could you use that to make the lives of people better? Would you help your fellow man? Would you buy powers? You need to read this and find out.

BY: What makes you proud of this title so far?

FRANCO:The honor to work along side the talents or Ig Guara and Amanda Conner!

ART: And this is officially our first story in the New 52, which you cannot deny, is pretty cool!

BY: What is it you hope comics readers come away from the book with?

ART:I want the readers to want the next issue so bad that they can't wait a month to find out what happens to these characters.

FRANCO: I was going to say something different but what he says sounded really good. I want to write the book with this guy.
