JAMES ROBINSON SE DESMELENA CON AIRBOY
Robinson, que tiene una faceta bastante gamberra, disfruta escandalizando a sus lectores con este particular proyecto:
James Robinson: That will definitely be a theme that runs through the book, the monumental excesses that Greg and I get up to while we are attempting to come up with ideas for this character that we, at first, have no affinity for. We do enough drink, enough drugs and enough sex that we begin to enter Airboy's dimension and talk with him and experience life from his perspective.
When did you realize you wanted to pull this character out of the public domain and put him into a book?
I saw "Adaptation," and I began to get ideas. I pitched it to Eric [Stephenson] and explained what I wanted to do in terms of showing me and Greg doing things that people don't generally want to be seen doing, and he loved the idea. I wanted to push it all the way.
Why do you think these characters sit, relatively unused, in the public domain?
Some people don't realize they're public domain, and sometimes there's a reason why they became irrelevant. You can only do so many serious, grim and gritty reinterpretations of public domain characters. The big group of them, Nedor [Publishing], which is where Alan Moore took a lot of the characters he put in "Tom Strong." Dynamite with Alex Ross also did that [in "Project Superpowers"]. But those characters are kind of lame, so you can only take lame characters and make them grim and gritty so many times before people call B.S. Really, a WWII boy aviator in a plane with flapping wings called "Birdie" -- well, I guess it's kind of amazing when you put it like that actually -- but it's a character that has an appeal to a certain kind of reader and not to everybody.
It sounds like it would be pretty easy to take these characters that were once very sincere and serious and pull them across the irony threshold to become a laughable caricature -- but it doesn't sound like you and Greg are doing that. It sounds like you're taking him seriously and treating his emotional reactions about his relevancy in the world with dignity.
You take someone like Batman, who has changed and evolved over the decades. If they'd stopped publishing "Batman" at the height of the Dick Sprang stories he would've been quite a campy, silly character, fighting villains on giant props and all of the things back then that Batman was known for. I could see how you could poke fun at that, too, but you see how a character can evolve when it grows with the culture who reads it. For today's reader, Batman is a very sophisticated character and you can add that sophistication if you want to. With Airboy, the idea of this young man that finds himself in our world when he was fighting to keep it free from fascist tyranny, and we haven't really changed for the better. Those are the questions we've been asking.
What has Airboy been doing since he last appeared in comics?
He's just been in his world, fighting Nazis and thinking everything is fine. We take him on a drinking tour of San Francisco; the gays in the Castro think he's adorable. You know, he's got to experience all of [our world] before it drives him crazy and he has to go back to his world -- and we go with him.

LEGION DE SUPERHÉROES: ONCE AND FUTURE (2)
Una portada, quizás poco conocida, de uno de los Index de la serie, por Curt Swam, quien los dibujó en sus inicios.
RAFA MARÍN Y CARLOS PACHECO, ENTRE LOS GUIONISTAS DE FF MENOS VALORADOS POR LOS LECTORES
Por los lectores de ahora, claro, por que quien gana la encuesta es Hickman, por encima de John Byrne y los propios Lee & Kirby.
Creo que es una concluyente prueba de que los lectores españoles solemos tender a idolatrar con mucha más facilidad a nuestros autores y, por desgracia, estos no gozan de la misma apreciación para los lectores americanos.
De hecho, los únicos guionistas que quedan por debajo son ABSOLUTAMENTE INSIGNIFICANTES para la historia del grupo: Gerry Conway, que en los '70 colaboró con Roy Thomas en algunos números.
Y Doug Moench, al que endosaron la serie justo antes de la providencial llegada de John Byrne, por que Moench, famoso por su Moon Knight, no era precisamente la horma del zapato de este grupo.
Bueno, ahora sus legiones de fans tienen la oportunidad de ir a votarlos, y que por lo menos adelanten a Scott Lobdell, levantando la moral nacional.
Y aquí podéis ir publicando, si queréis, vuestro particulares tops.

PREVIEW NEW WARRIORS # 2
Como curiosidad, en la escena de los Morlocks del número anterior, parece que sale Marrow, aunque ya anda con X-Force. ¡Pillados!
INFINITE CRISIS, EL JUEGO, TENDRÁ ADAPTACIÓN AL CÓMIC
Guionizada por Dan Abnett, que parece tener ahora más encargos que cuando trabajaba con Lanning.
El cómic, como Injustice, será una precuela y narrará las aventuras de los personajes DC de seis mundos alternativos diferentes: Prime (el Universo DC ), Atomic, Arcane, Gaslight, Mecha y Nightmare.
Si la jugada sale igual de bien que Injustice, y los hacen ubicuos cual los ojos rojos de Superman, tenemos mundos alternativos para rato en DC...

FUTURES END, EL EVENTO NEW 52 EN SEPTIEMBRE
Para celebrar el tercer aniversario del mayor desastre de la industria del cómic americana, este Septiembre, como ya se filtro hace meses, las 52 -o las que queden- series DC mostrarán como serán los protagonistas 5 años en el futuro, esto es, tal y como aparecen en la serie semanal Futures End.
En DC son capaces de versionar a sus personajes de mil maneras, de lo que no son capaces es de mostrar una aventura normal que se continúe de un número a otro.
Para redondear el evento, los cómics contarán de nuevo con las portadas 3D lenticulares del pasado mes de los villanos.
Un perfecto ejemplar de coleccionista para exponer en el futuro MUSEO DE LOS HORRORES COMIQUEROS de dentro de 5 AÑOS. Esperemos...

BILL SIENKIEWICZ, PORTADISTA DEL NUEVO MOON KNIGHT
A mi me da que Ellis solo ha aceptado guionizar esto para promocionarse con vistas a su nueva serie Image, pero bueno, eso que ganamos...
