You've seen Alex Ross tackle the Marvel universe in "Marvels" and in the "Earth X" and its various spin-offs and sequels. You've seen Alex Ross tackle the DCuUniverse in "Kingdom Come" and four different treasury sized graphic novels. What you haven't seen Alex Ross do is provide the art for a regularly scheduled comic. That's all going to change next summer as the first of the twelve issue series "Justice" will be released by DC Comics, as announced today during the Alex & Jim panel at Wizard World Chicago (our friends at Newsarama will have a full write-up of the panel a little later today). CBR News talked with Ross about his plans for "Justice."
"In very many ways, 'Justice' is a direct follow-up to what Paul [Dini] and I did last year with 'JLA: Liberty & Justice,'" Ross told CBR News by phone earlier this week. "In a way, it's taking the tag-line name of that project and pushing it over to its own book.
"['Justice' is] that thing that I haven't really done yet which is a straight up villains versus heroes kind of dynamic in a comic book," Ross told CBR News earlier this week. "Since 'Marvels' and 'Kingdom Come' mostly were about observing the heroes and in the case of 'Kingdom Come' it was a civil war amongst super heroes..., it wasn't really the satisfaction of the 'Superfriends versus The Legion of Doom.' This is that project. This is me, a man and creator who takes himself way too seriously, now taking the prospect of a Justice League versus their greatest foes combined way too seriously. Which is what I think I'm selling to the public is my own ego of completely believing that everything I do must matter so damn much," joked Ross.
In some ways, Ross says "Justice" is an attempt to bring back the good old days of super hero storytelling.
"In good part, yes, but at the same time I'm a big fan of contemporary writing styles. Ever since Alan Moore changed the landscape for all writers in comics, I think that the bar has been raised in terms of the level of drama and intelligence we expect from our material. If you look back at the 'Superfriends' cartoons nobody is going to respect those as being of such highly intelligent faire. So, I don't want to return us to the wistful days of yesteryear where things were as crudely written for the children they thought the show was for, not necessarily the number of adults who would hold on to the dream of what that show promised. So, anything I would deliver of similar regard is to be thought out carefully. This is me trying to take a stab at all the DC villains that I've never touched on before. Here I'm re-envisioning these characters through the filter of not so much an update, but how can I go back to the roots of what made someone like Brainiac possibly fearsome the first time? How can you look at these characters without deciding people need armor to look cool now, but reinvigorating a sense of how they may have been scary the first time around and recapturing that."
"Justice" is a unique project for Ross. It's a twelve issue series that's he's co-written with his "Earth X" writing partner Jim Krueger. In addition, he's painting the series. Ross is well known as a meticulous painter and his process takes time. So, two important choices were made for this series. For one, artist Doug Braithwaite will be penciling each issue with Ross painting over his pencils. This frees up a lot of Alex's time, allowing him to stick to the publishing schedule. Secondly, the series will be published bi-monthly, all told lasting two years. And with the series launching next Summer, this gives the "Justice" crew a chance to put as much in the can ahead of time as possible.
"I'm an enormous fan of Doug Braithwaite's and I'm a big follower of contemporary artists who have strong, realistic draftsmanship," said Ross. "Doug I've had a four year relationship with on both 'Universe X' and 'Paradise X,' the follow-ups to 'Earth X,' and I have the greatest trust in his ability and the ability of the two of us to combine for the ultimate pay off being that for those who come strictly for me alone, they will get that effect with the final product. You will not look at this and say it's not Alex Ross."
This isn't new territory Ross and Braithwaite are exploring as the duo did team up on a number of covers for "Universe X." For the purposes of "Justice," Braithwaite will handle all the layout and physical drawing of the series, while Ross will follow with his familiar style, but not to the taxing degree it takes the artist to do those once a year graphic novels. "Justice" will be a marriage of two art styles, looking like an Alex Ross book with Doug Braithwaite influences.
"We're not really all that different," said Ross. "With the physical life drawings there, I think I can take just about any draftsman that is drawing things realistically and put my influence on top of that. Whether it be the lighting, shadow work, rendering of paint on figure, all that will lead to the final conclusion being an art style you would recognize as Alex Ross.
"Beyond that, I can use a kick in the butt in my work as well. I can learn from another draftsman that is possibly a bit more free in some ways with the way he approaches his layouts just to learn a new sensibility. Where I go through so much exhaustive reference just to start drawing something, the truth is here I jump in and that work has been done and I can lend almost a surface level approach and allow the fluidity that is within the draftsmanship of Doug Braithwaite to infect my work to make it have a life it possibly hasn't had before."
The genesis of this project begins where "Paradise X" ends. Ross thought it would be fun to roll the crew he'd been working together with on the "Earth X" saga onto a DC project. Initially the duties of each member of the team would remain the same, Ross and Krueger on plot and script, Ross and Braithwaite on covers and Braithwaite on interiors. Ultimately, Ross thought about it and a change was in order.
"I started to look upon 'Justice' greedily and thought, you know what, that's the thing I should be illustrating. The taste of wanting to work with another talented penciller has been with me for a very long time. So, this opportunity to take advantage of Doug and his talents is something that I've wanted to jump in to. It's an opportunity I'm jumping at.
Moving on to the story, Ross says "Justice" has a complex and engaging story with a big, climactic payoff.
