Levitz Serves Duty With “Legion,” Gets Dirty With Vertigo – Comic Book Resources
Levitz Serves Duty With “Legion,” Gets Dirty With VertigoThu, February 4th, 2010 at 12:28PM (PST) | Updated: February 4th, 2010 at 4:54PM
From the looks of it, Paul Levitz hasn’t had much time to relax since stepping down as the President and Publisher of DC Comics. While the September changing of the guard that saw DC Comics become DC Entertainment brought with it the news that Levitz would stay on as a consultant and freelance writer for the publisher, few may have expected that the industry veteran would produce piles of comics work in the immediate future, but this May sees the longtime DC staple contributing to three series. For one, his previously announced gig as writer of the relaunch of “Legion of Super-Heroes” with artist Yildiray Cinar gets underway that month, with DC today releasing a first look at the artist’s interior work. Levitz will also step into “Superman/Batman” for an arc titled “Worship” starting in issue #72 taking the Man of Steel and the Dark Knight to mythic adventures and contribute a chapter to a comics jam in the form of “House of Mystery” #25, which has a round robin script co-written by a host of writers including series regular Matthew Sturges.
And all of that is only step one for Levitz’s writing future. He’ll also pick up the monthly “Adventure Comics” series in June. “The genesis of the ‘Adventure’ arc is that Geoff challenged me to do the story that could be collected into one book that you could hand to somebody to introduce them to the Legion. That doesn’t really exist right now. So that’s why we’re going back and looking at the origins and how they develop,” Levitz told CBR. However, readers shouldn’t expect his tenure with the superteam he twice made his name on to be all building blocks and origins, as Levitz explained in an in depth interview where he addressed how to best integrate the Legion into modern DC canon as well as the modern DC publishing plan, why the series expansive cast is a boon to their stores and much, much more.
