Claremont y Byrne en JLA

[DRA]

Press Release

The May 16th issue of Entertainment Weekly features an interview with John Byrne and Chris Claremont on their upcoming stint on the monthly JLA series.

EW remarks, "Without question, Chris Claremont and John Byrne rank as one of comics' greatest creative teams...."

Claremont states, "Hopefully, we can kick ass as well as we ever did - if not better."

Byrne comments, "JLA editor Mike Carlin [asked] if I would do a five-part arc. He suggested - for old times' sake - I might like to have somebody else script. Suddenly, it's Simon and Garfunkel."Byrne added in the piece that he's just getting started with the plot, and it will feature the big guns: Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman, and will feature a "bunch" of new villains.

According to DC sources, the run could appear late this year, but more likely will ship early next. Claremont will script over Byrne's plot, and on his new messageboard, Byrne said that he would be willing to remain on the title after the initial arc, if invited.

Con respecto a esto ultimo, que les parece una Liga de John Byrne ?

Que Realmente BUENA noticia, de la cual no estaba ni enterado

[foreverGREEN]

Epa!!!!!!!! puede ser groso... o puede ser una verga, nada, a esperar nomás y ver que sale; lo que no me queda claro es si:

-Claremont escribe y Byrne dibuja
-Claremont escribe y Byrne "plotea" y "bocetea"
-Claremont y Byrne escriben y dibuja monguito

Si los dos escriben no le veo la gracia, si Claremont escribe y Byrne dibuja tampoco, ahora si Claremont guioniza sobre ideas de Byrne y este a su vez tira bocetos para otro dibujante ahí es otro cantar.

Bye.

JOHN BYRNE'S JUSTICE LEAGUE

They're the world's greatest heroes, and one of DC's premiere titles, but they're getting a whole new look. Few things could have stirred up fans more than the recent announcement in ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY that John Byrne and Chris Claremont would be reuniting for the first time since THE X-MEN for 5 issues of JLA. Byrne will plot and draw, while Claremont will be dialoging. What's the secret origin? Editor Mike Carlin was looking for a fill-in team to give him some time while he searched for the new permanent team, and offered the book to Byrne. The result has already got the bulletin boards buzzing away. We caught up with Byrne for a peek under the hood of what's coming up.



THE PULSE: JLA -- daunting or exciting?

BYRNE: Yes.

THE PULSE: What was your very first thought when Mike Carlin asked you if you were interested in the book?

BYRNE: "Who are the JLA these days?" I knew the whole job would hinge on the answer to that question.

THE PULSE: How did you come to work on the book?

BYRNE: When Mike inherited the title he noticed it was a bit soft in the deadline department. He asked me if I would like to do an arc to help get the book back on something like schedule. (I think he also offered it to stop me saying "Generations 4!!" every time we spoke -- for a while, anyway.)

THE PULSE: What did you think of previous runs on JLA?

BYRNE: I have not followed the title closely since I was a wee lad. Well, maybe not a WEE lad. I think I was in college the last time I read the book on a semi-regular basis.

THE PULSE: You're doing a 5 issue "fill-in" of sorts...what can you tell us about the storyline?

BYRNE: Without giving away too much, I'm pitting the team against a new villain, with his own villainous organization, with a supernatural bent so I can explore some concepts in that direction that have been percolating in my fevered brain for a while.

THE PULSE: You've done just about every character in comics up until now...are there any in the current JLA that you had trouble getting a bead on?

BYRNE: The two newbies, Manitou Raven and Faith, were utter ciphers to me. Carlin had to explain who they were so I could figure out something for them to do other than get taken out by the badguys as soon as possible! I think I succeeded!

THE PULSE: You say you had to figure out what made the new characters click, what about the old timers? Obviously, you've worked on Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman and so on, individually and in chunks...is there any special approach you took to any of these characters for JLA?

BYRNE: The main worry is to find something for each of them to do that exploits whatever it is that makes them "special". What makes J'Onn J'Onzz different from Superman? What does the Flash do that no one else can? Not easy -- but I like a challenge.

THE PULSE: How did Chris Claremont get involved?

BYRNE: Carlin's idea. Originally I was going to plot and pencil, and then script, then it started to look like some other stuff in the pipeline could crowd the scripting, so he suggested getting someone else. He asked Chris and a legend was reborn! (Stupid sideways smiley-face.)

THE PULSE: Again...what was your first thought when you heard you and Chris would be working together again for the first time since the classic X-men books?

BYRNE: "Their old stuff was better."

THE PULSE: Reportedly you and Chris disagreed constantly during your run on the X-men...yet those comics are considered classics and hold up to this day. Do you think the tensions made the book stronger?

BYRNE: I always invoke Gilbert and Sullivan. I would not say that Chris and I disagreed constantly, but there was a kind of one-upsmanship element, each of us trying to outdo the other in our own fields. Toward the end there WAS a lot of yelling and screaming. . . .

THE PULSE: Have you ever come close to working together since then?

BYRNE: Several times.

THE PULSE: What does the JLA mean to you?

BYRNE: Doesn't that mean "Justice League of America?" Ha Ha. I slay myself. Seriously -- the premiere teaming of the premiere characters. How cool is that? (And, of course, absolutely no pressure. . . . )

THE PULSE: What makes a good JLA story?

BYRNE: Finding something they can deal with as a team that they could not deal with individually. Not an easy trick. Not even going to promise without qualifications that I can pull it off myself!

THE PULSE: This project -- like everything you do -- seems to lead to a lot of "fan controversy"...why do you think that is, and is it a concern to you?

BYRNE: It only concerns me to the extent that the Age of the Internet has inflated beyond reason the influence of the sometimes vocal minority. Who gets paid more attention to? 100 people sitting quietly in their living rooms, or the guy on the rooftop screaming his lungs out. Mostly, I wish the people who find so much at fault with my work would catch up! They all seem to be hung up on stuff I did 5, 10, 15 years ago!

THE PULSE: You've had one of the most active message boards of any comics pro since back on the AOL days, and you spend a lot of time interacting with your fans. Why?

BYRNE: Masochism?

Cada vez me ceba mas la idea, con un poco de orto capaz que hasta se quedan. Se acuerdan que Jim Lee solo iba a hacer 12 numeros de Batman?

[Insurrecto]

NO hay caso, ya me habia pasado antes y me pasa cada vez que el tipo da una buena entrevista.... ME CAGO DE RISA Y ME MUERO POR SER EL QUE LO ENTREVISTE!!!!!!!!

El chabon puede haber hecho un monton de mierda y un monton de obras maestras, pero aparte es un groso mal (Azra Dixit)

Que power cuando le preguntan sobre Claremont y su relacion en los viejos numeros de Xmen!!!!


La verdad que no siempre The Pulse hace una tan buena y divertida entrevista (es mas, casi siempre son pedorras)


Saludos.

Guy.

Si, la entrevista estuvo buena (la lei entera ).
Y estaria barbaro que se queden. Si tienen el exito de Jim Lee en Batman, seguro que se quedan (ahi Byrne dice que le gustaria quedarse).
Y para el "exito" hay que tener en cuenta que Batman salto del puesto 30 +/- al 1°. La JLA anda entre los 15 primeros, asi que es muy probable que salte al 1° (desplazando a Batman ? )

[Obsidian]

Ojala!!!! Para mi Byrne siempre fue un groso no importa lo que haga. Todo lo que lei de el siempre me parecio dignisimo, y a pesar de que lo deteste por ciertas cosas que hizo las conto tan bien, que las soporte.
