Is there anything scarier than a fast-spreading disease ripping through a major metropolitan area, leaving people dead and dying in the streets in its wake? Lately, it doesn’t seem like it, especially if you’ve been watching CNN. Now, those fears of contagion have infected the DC Universe in the latest arc of Justice League , “The Amazo Virus.” The titular virus was created by Lex Luthor as a metahuman countermeasure, but it was never meant to be deployed. tanger outlets ga However, during tanger outlets ga an attack on Luthor’s private laboratory, it managed to escape and now the whole of Metropolis is infected, and the disease tanger outlets ga is starting to spread. It’s up to the Justice League to contain the illness, but there’s a catch — the virus gives the infected uncontrollable superpowers for a short time before ultimately killing them from within. Now it’s a race against time for Luthor and the Justice League to not only save the day, but for Lex to answer the question of whether or not he can ever put his past behind him.
JF: Umm…I’d have to say that joining Justice League – at first I was kind of overwhelmed with everything that was being presented to me. Here’s an opportunity to draw one of DC’s biggest books, with DC’s biggest tanger outlets ga writer, and just having the chance to play in this new playground with all these legendary characters that – I had only really drawn Batman universe back to the last couple of years. To now have to draw Superman and Wonder Woman, the Flash and Lex Luthor and all these characters – at first it was kind of daunting.
I’ll admit that that first issues I was kind of stressed, and I was kind of scared of was I doing a good job, was I depressing? I’m trying to impress a new editor and a new writer and all these things all at once. But in the end I really feel – I looked at this book, when I got a copy of the book the other day, and seeing it on paper with the nice glossy paper and everything, I really just was proud of it. I think that we all kind of came together – Geoff, myself, Brian Cunningham as the editor and Brad Anderson the colorist – I’ve got to give him a shout-out because I think he made the piece look so awesome. He really took my artwork, tanger outlets ga the lines that I give him, to another level.
I’m tanger outlets ga just so proud of this book! I’m usually so negative tanger outlets ga about everything that I do, and i never really enjoy it. I sat down and I read the issue last night, and I just felt really proud. To me, that’s something that doesn’t happen very often, but I think that all of these, just this whole collaboration – the teamwork, the building up of confidence – Geoff allowing me to kind of play, and I think it really just creates something – I feel like I’m going to really have a great time on this book, and I feel that I’m going to produce the best and the strongest material of my career so far. Yeah, it’s been great.
JF: Umm – Batman’s really my favorite, but of the new characters, I’d say Wonder Woman and Lex Luthor – I just felt like I clicked with them immediately, and I just got them. Whereas Superman I feel like I’m still getting there. I like the way he’s looking, but I kind of like to make it my own, and I think that’s going to take me a little bit. But especially Lex Luthor – I don’t know, he’s one of those characters that I probably wouldn’t think I would really dig, but ever since I saw – when I read “Forever Evil,” I really tanger outlets ga started to like the character quite a bit. Getting to draw him with Supe is just so cool, and you can play around with shininess and angle, or shininess and all the cool contours of armored suit. It’s just something different to draw, and it’s actually a lot of fun.
N : I’m glad you brought up “Forever Evil,” because I really tanger outlets ga enjoyed that arc, and definitely one of the biggest impacts on the DCU seems to have been this sort of reinvention of Lex Luthor. “The tanger outlets ga Amazo Virus” feels like Lex trying and failing tanger outlets ga a little bit to escape his past. I wonder if you could speak to that a little bit. What can we expect from Lex going forward?
Geoff Johns: Yeah, that’s exactly the whole point of the arc, Dan, is to not only – our challenge is presenting the Justice League with something that never kind of had gone up against, but also as you said, in regards to previous issues, you can’t just erase your past. It about trying to keep Luthor’s past from blowing up in his face, but also to have him struggling to not only correct it successfully, tanger outlets ga and also keep the trade secrets behind what the Virus is, and why it was created for everyone.
There’s a lot of secrets to this that will help pull us through the arc, and it really tanger outlets ga is about how you canR
