You referred to your work in Action Comics and how it's fun working between titles. How would the history of that Earth have happened differently? How is the history of Oa and the Green Lantern Corps different? I established this whole alternate history of the DC universe as seen through the eyes of the Green Lanterns without everyone else in the Justice League that might have been around otherwise. So it was fun to war game out a world in which Green Lantern is Superman. something I love to do, and I've kind of established a rep for that at DC. What I love most about writing is world-building. What can you say to fans about this antagonist? But we're trying to tie it all together to make this one all-encompassing story that becomes more and more epic the more you read.Įvery good sci-fi and fantasy epic has a memorable villain, and you mentioned the Revenant Queen. Anyone who picks up from the main series this fall can pick up from there. But anyone who picks up from the backups will get it. That leads into the story that's happening here in these backups, which will reward readers who continue on to the main series. But it does reward people who read that because it does refer to that huge battle that happened in Earth's orbit with the Radiant Dead and the Bright Revenant that was the big bad of that issue. They can pick it up here, and they'll get it. The Dark Crisis one-shot is not homework that the readers will need to read to understand what's happening here. That all leads directly into these backup stories in Green Lantern and leads right into the next thing. He's the big superhero of Earth that established his own "Justice League" team, which is called the Watchtower, made up of different Green Lanterns. John Stewart Green Lantern is essentially the Superman of Earth. That takes place in a world in which there is no Justice League. The story we're telling in "Rise Of The Revenant Queen" in these backup issues that will then lead into the main John Stewart series all ties in with the Dark Crisis Green Lantern issue we did. One of the most rewarding elements of writing in this shared sandbox at DC is all the easter eggs you can drop in to reward readers who love other books and tie your various stories together if it makes sense to do so. How did that one-shot help set the stage for your upcoming work? You've definitely already dealt with that a bit in Worlds Without a Justice League: Green Lantern. What I'm trying to capture here, especially to contrast it with the great work that Jeremy is doing in the Hal Jordan book, I'm trying to capture this blend of sci-fi and epic fantasy that we can tell in the setting of the DC Universe.
