"I am a huge DC Comics' fan and I love a lot of the characters, but Oliver Queen has never really been on my radar. I didn't read much of his stuff in the past. For whatever reason, he never really resonated with me. When he was offered to me, I did a double take because my initial reaction was, "No interest." But as soon as I started thinking what I could actually do with it, I became really interested."
Cómo se puede llegar a ser guionista estrella de DC sin haber leído nada de Green Arrow, es uno de esos misterios de la existencia que espero desentrañar antes de morirme.
A ver si os vais enterando de con quien estamos tratando...

Estamos tratando con un nominado al premio Eisner este año, no me preocupo para nada...
Si estamos hablando del tio al que DC le compra las nominaciones del premio Eisner, ese es...
Que ya nos hemos olvidado de ese "magistral" Superboy...
La Escuela Brubaker va ganando adeptos, con una salvedad: ahora los artistas encargados de escribir cómics de superhéroes desprecian a los personajes que les dan de comer MIENTRAS siguen trabajando para las grandes editoriales... ¡Eso es márketing, amigos!
Que raro, en su blog dice todo lo contrario...
"(...)when Dan called that afternoon, I wasn’t sure what to expect. When he asked me, “How about Green Arrow?” I paused. Oliver Queen was never a character I’d had any particular affection for. I love DC comics and love DC characters, but Green Arrow was never one of the guys I gravitated towards. Yet, for some reason, as soon as Dan said it, something sparked in my head. At that moment, I wasn’t sure why, but something told me this was exactly the kind of book and kind of character I was searching for.
Green Arrow is a character that always has the potential to be a major player in the DCU. When I took on Animal Man, I immediately saw it as a chance to do my version of the classic Vertigo horror/superhero books I loved as a teenager. And, similarly, the first thing I thought of with Green Arrow was a chance to do a really hard hitting, crime/superhero book in the tradition of Mike Grell’s classic run on the character or Denny O’Neil’s The Question comics from the late 80’s early 90’s. Quite simply, I wanted to make Green Arrow a hunter again. A street level hero of the gutters caught up in a world of violence, betrayal and conspiracy."

Y no es el unico en la nomina de DC que nunca "siguio" los personajes que escribe( de hecho solo Snyder, Morrison y Johns tienen credencial de fans, para bien o para mal).

No voy a defender al Lemire que bastante tiene él solito para defender sus chorradas, pero una cosa es que diga que un personaje no le ha atraido nunca y otra es que diga que no ha leido nada suyo.
A mi tampoco es un personaje que me llame demasiado, aunque sea mas interesante que Sweeth Tooth :P
