My favorites were those that focused on form and physicality, my personal weak points. I was an actor once, and I took a lot of arty farty actor classes. Those help, but I think it’s your body, the way you move, that really tells me what’s up. But not with your words, or even your eyes. Many people can’t understand what the hell you’re saying.

Many people think your death is the lamest. Many people wonder if your mask is delivering real Venom, or if it’s just some Nolanized, grittily realistic pain reliever like morphine mist that you have to constantly inhale to keep your physical pain at bay. Many people have found your brawling skills to be lackluster and disappointing. Aside from that, many people are wondering about your true motivation during your recent occupation of Gotham. But I'm happy with all of them, and looking forward to seeing them all colored up and printed.I think you’re having a tough go of things. Those are the ones that feel the most 'foundational' to me, if that makes sense. "I'm especially interested in seeing how people react to the 'Josiah Power,' 'Skyrocket' and 'Manhunter' one-shots. Having said that, Busiek is eager for fans to check the specials out. Set it up so that they had to read them or they'd be lost." We're hoping people will want to read them - for the new characters, for the guest-stars, for the artists, for my scripts, whatever - but we'd never

So 'Power Company' #1 starts the series off from the beginning, and the material that comes before is a great way to get to know the characters ahead of time, and to learn more about their roots and their histories, but they're not strictly necessary, any more than it's necessary to have read every appearance of Superman, Batman or the Flash before you read JLA. I make it a point to make anything I do accessible to new readers - and with a first issue, you've got to do that even more than usual. And it's certainly gotten us more attention than we might've had otherwise."īut those on a budget who aren't interested in picking up every single special shouldn't feel as though the books are critical to understanding the ongoing "Power Company" series.

But I thought it'd give me a good chance to establish them - all the specials take place at different times in DC history, and give us the chance to establish our cast's pasts, rooting them in the DCU at various points, from the Invasion crossover to the Goodwin/Simonson Manhunter saga to the salad days of Hal Jordan as Green Lantern and more. But I've been able to work with some terrific artists, including Keith Giffen, Dan Jurgens, Joe Staton, Kieron Dwyer and Mark Bagley, and I think it'll make for an enjoyable 'premiere party' as it were."Īs for whose head the blame for this extra work falls on. By the end of this year, I'll have done 13 plots in 11 months, and 10 scripts in six months, all for a series where #1 doesn't actually hit until February. "Ĭranking out all these specials meant that Busiek, who didn't necessarily seem busy this year, most certainly was. "Not always the best way to approach things magical and dangerous.

The Power Company works for a fee for those who can afford tem, but if a job needs doing and nobody can afford them - well, that's why pro bono work was invented." Or whatever the job needs, whether it's preventing an alien incursion, recovering stolen goods, guarding a millionaire's daughter who's been targeted for kidnapping, and so on. But these guys don't carry briefcases and argue in court, they wear costumes and beat the crap out of super-villains. They're structured like a law firm, with partners, associates, clients, billable hours, pro bono work, support staff, caseloads.

"The Power Company's a full-service professional superhero team, offering superhuman services the way lawyers or doctors offer legal or medical aid. Unlike the last ongoing book Busiek launched - Marvel Comics' "Thunderbolts" - the high concept behind "The Power Company" is known up front this time: I'm itching to unwrap it and find out what people think." I'm eager for a reaction - it'll hit right after Christmas, so it's one more present, I guess. I hoping we'll get some of my Marvel audience coming over to check it out, and some of the longtime DC crowd seeing what I can do with a series. "It's definitely a new thing for me to be playing around in the DCU - I've done DC stuff before, but never long-term, and I'm having a blast.
