io9 Talks To Geoff Johns About Making Superheroes Scifi

In the last few months, comic book writer Geoff Johns has taken Superman out of Metropolis and into space, the future, and alternate dimensions, as well as making former has-been Booster Gold into a time-travellin' paradox-defeatin' hero. With his alternate-world-spanning DC Universe: Zero (co-written with Grant Morrison) in stores tomorrow, it seemed like a good time to quickly catch up with Green Lantern and future Legion of Super-Heroes writer Johns, and ask him what's with his recent reintroduction of science fiction into the superhero genre.

Latest by Zenn-Lavian: I like Geoff Johns as a writer, but I'm a Marvel guy and I just can't get into DC's second tier guys, which seem to be Johns's bread-and-butter. But I like the approach of getting Superman out of Metropolis, so I'll more »

DC Universe Will Give Us "Manazons" and Anatomically Correct Supergirls

A new Secret Six series, evil math and 'Manazons' for Wonder Woman to face, and a Supergirl without T&A were only a few of the announcements made by DC Comics uber-editor Dan DiDio (flanked by cosplayers as Good and Bad Mary Marvel) and the panel of DC writers and artists at New York Comic-Con.

Gail Simone Cuts Loose In "Tranquility"

Murder shatters the peace in a retirement community for old superheroes, in Gail Simone's awesome Welcome To Tranquility Vol. 1, out this week. The collection of the first six issues of Tranquility comes too late to win new fans and save the series from cancellation, but it's still worth picking up for bizarre characters like Emoticon, the gangsta with a mask that displays his feelings, and Zeke the rockabilly zombie gravedigger. Freed from working on corporate-owned characters, Simone cranks her inventiveness up to 11. What other comics might help get you through Hump Day? Glad you asked. More »
