Some interesting, but non-illuminating, tidbits from DC’s Flashpoint artist.
…In the meantime, can you tell us about hooking up with Geoff? Was it a result of the experience your brother Adam had with him on “Action Comics” for the “Superman: Last Son” arc?
No, actually it came about a while ago. I was talking with [DCU Co-Publisher] Dan DiDio and he just asked me if I would be interested in working on The Flash for my next project. I said, “Sure. I would love to.” I knew nothing else about it. I didn’t know who was writing it. I didn’t know where the story was going. I had no idea, but I was definitely interested in it. It turned out Geoff was writing it, and Geoff and I always talked about wanting to work together on a book. It just worked out this way.
Are you a long-time fan of The Flash?
Oh, yeah. I used to read him growing up as a kid when my dad would bring home comics. All of Carmine Infantino’s “Flash,” I read them. I read all of those. I loved them.
Can you say if it’s Barry Allen or Wally West you’re drawing as the lead in “Flashpoint,” or perhaps even both? What about the other speedsters, like Jay Garrick and Bart Allen?
I can’t talk about anything about it. Nope.
With DC, readers usually fall into two camps: Superman or Batman. What is it about The Flash that you think resonates with fans?
He’s pretty much an everyday guy, I think, and he has everyday problems, kind of like Peter Parker. He’s just a character that hits home with a lot of people. He did with me.
