“And we’re back. My next guest you may know from such hits as “52” and “Crisis on something or another”, but it was really his collaboration with Grant Morrison that made Buddy Baker a household name. Please welcome Animal Man!”

APPLAUSE!

“Good to see you again A-Man. It’s okay if I call you A-Man?”

“Absolutely. It’s okay if I call you G-mann?”

“Abso-fucking-lutely.”

“Can you say fuck on this show?”

“Fuckin’a”

“Well, my kids might be watching so I’ll keep it PG.”

“Haha, no worries my friend. Well, I just read your new comic, part of DC’s New 52 re-boot, and let me tell you so far, it’s the best of the bunch.”

“Well thank you G-mann. I am so proud to be part of this new DCU and to be working with a writer like Jeff Lemire, well, it’s really honor. I’ve been a big fan of work on Sweet Tooth and his style is perfectly fitted for the world of Animal Man.”

“I totally agree. Your world is like no other in the DCU. I suppose we can credit that Grant Morrison and his deus ex machina magic we worked on your title back in the early 90’s”

“Yes, Morrison unveiled the ghost in the machine while DC wasn’t looking. But it worked and my title in the 90’s became some what of a cult hit. The funny thing is, now with this new title I’m front and center. I mean I’m sitting next to Action Comics Number 1 and Detective Comics number 1. I’ll admit I was worried people just wouldn’t “get it”. But Jeff s a great writer and DC is 100% behind this project.”

“And judging from the early reviews, it seems like people are loving it.”

“Yeah, I’m stoked about the reaction from the readers. I mean, I knew we had something special, but you just never know if something is going to work until it’s out there.”

“Let’s talk about Travel Foreman.” How do you feel about the way he draws you?”

“Travel’s work is stunning. I love the way he captures a moment in a characters face. There are some scenes in issue 1 where his art just blew me away.”

“So I gotta know, what happens in issue 2? Come on A-man, throw me a bone here. haha”

“I would love to tell you but I’m under contract to not say a word. You’ll just have to wait till next month. Sorry G-mann.”

“No worries my friend. Thank you for coming out tonight. A pleasure to meet you.

“Pleasure was all mine.”

Story: 5 - Excellent

  1. Best iFanboy user review since the Action Comics story-character-story review

  2. You know G-mann, I absolutely demand another interview soon after #2 hits. Genius!

  3. oh, and sorry about the typo’s – I gotta do a better job of spot checking my reviews. I wish the site would bring back the “EDIT” feature. Made life much easier.
