By Newsarama has a very thorough interview with Geoff Johns. It covers everything I could possibly think of: his job with Richard Donner, how he got his start with DC Comics, his love of super-villains, and his work on DC's weekly comic 52. On the latter subject, the working relationship between Johns, Mark Waid, Greg Rucka, and Grant Morrison sounds very interesting:
We're literally working on every issue together. But it's really fun. It's very different than anything people have seen. Grant described it as a TV show, and it really is. It's more like a TV show following characters every week. I get to work with Grant, Mark, Keith and Greg -- and Steve has a tremendous line of artistic talent starting with Joe Bennett. Everyone brings something very different to the table. Mark just wrote this scene that blew me away and it was very much in his style. Just very fun… a twist on a convention. I can't wait until people read #12.
Over at Word Balloon, Keith Giffen has a talk with John Siuntres about his long comics career. Justice League, Legion, Defenders--all covered--as well as 52 and the new Blue Beetle series.
