Interview: Ray Fawkes Conjures Street Magic In 'Constantine'
Posted 2/13/13 2:32 pm EST by Charles Webb in Comic Books, DC Comics, Interviews
Writer Ray Fawkes ("One Soul," Oni) knows that being on a book called "Constantine" featuring the magic-wielding anti-hero is potentially fraught with minefields. When he was introduced into the New 52 in "Justice League Dark," it was greeted with some skepticism, the long-held invisible wall between the DCU and Vertigo knocked down completely to allow the chain-smoking, morally complicated Brit potentially rub shoulders with Batman and Superman. "It's a little bit daunting because I know that there are fans of the old version of John who are very, very serious about the way they see him [...] and I hope that I can win them over."
Fawkes will be joined by co-writer Jeff Lemire and artist Renato Guedes in March for "Constantine," the character's spinoff from "Justice League Dark," presenting "a new version of John," the guy "who [uses] magic and knows what's going on with it" in the DCU, according to Fawkes.

Interview: Grant Morrison On His Exit From 'Action Comics'
Posted 2/6/13 9:01 am EST by Eddie Wright in Comic Books, DC Comics, Interviews
"It's a kind of war against a world where art is ruled by accountants, so I still believe it should be art. For me, art may come across as trying to complicate things, but it's really just about looking at things from a lot of different angles."
With "Action Comics" #18, Grant Morrison says goodbye to Superman by tying up his multi-dimensional tale of the legend of the Man of Steel with a throwdown between the Big Blue Boy Scout and Lord Vyndktvx. Morrison is shifting his focus from monthly superhero comics to more creator-owned work. He's not entirely parting ways with superheroes, he's just stepping away from the monthly grind so he can tell stories that are more appealing to him, and therefore more appealing to readers. I spoke with Morrison over the phone about his ambitious storytelling, his feelings about superhero comics, and why he thinks he's such a heavily scrutinized writer. Plus, get a look at never before-seen art from "Action Comics" #17.
