Word balloon interview with Greg Rucka

[borntohula]

Not sure if this been posted before but I listened to this the other day.

Quite enjoyable if I may say so.

I really liked is his reasoning regarding his run. He comes across as very humble.

Cool to hear him greatly enjoying being in a position to be able to cherry pick the ww stuff he liked, from everyone from Perez, Simone to Azzarello, which then results in Liam Sharp sending him marvelous art pages.

Some really funny tidbits on his take vs "fans" as well. The dainty of them being Rucka's position on WW in heels

Also some small hints at what we're reading now.

Oh come on... That's like two hours.

I don't suppose there's a transcript somewhere?

Really great interview. I was glad to hear that Helena makes the list, even if it's not immediate. It's pretty standard Rucka, and since it's way before anything came out, nothing specific, but it's always nice to hear Rucka talk about Diana.

Takeaways...

- Max Lord if it fits into the story.

- While Sharp is in for the entire twenty-four issue stint, Scott is out after six issues. Sounds like they are intent on having Black Magick(Which I thought was a limited series?) back on the stands ASAP.

- Rucka has never considered writing Doom Patrol.

- Rucka doesn't see a way to work the "Bondage" aspect in.

- While there is a Queen & Country story, don't hold your breath. Rucka seems fine with the current "Stop" point acting as an ending.

- Unless it's a curve ball, the "Bad Guy" may have been laid out. Won't spoil it for folks who don't want to know.

- Potential "Shift" at issue thirteen that Rucka doesn't think readers will see coming.

DM for the villain?

Is it possible that the shift may come later, now that Year One has been extended by one issue with the Cheetah interlude?

Some listener wanted him to write Doom Patrol. Made him laugh quite a bit.
