Interview: Brett Booth talks Doomsday!

In September, DC Comics will be launching 'Villains Month', an event which puts DC's greatest villains to the forefront, rather than their greatest heroes. One of the characters being spotlighted during the event is Doomsday, the monster that once killed Superman. This issue is written by Greg Pak ( 'Planet Hulk', 'Batman/Superman', his upcoming run on 'Action Comics') and pencilled by Brett Booth ( 'Teen Titans', 'Nightwing', 'Justice League of America' and also a regular interviewee on this blog). I caught up with Booth once again to talk about this issue and more! Enjoy!

"Batman/Superman" writer, Greg Pak, takes over Action Comics

A few months ago it was announced that Andy Diggle would be taking over the Superman series, Action Comics. He then quit due to problems over at DC Comics and his third and final issue was published this month. Then, Scott Lobdell, writer of "Superman", is taking over for a few months as a stand-in but it seems DC have found a new full-time writer for the series in writer of the upcoming "Batman/Superman" series, Greg Pak.

Greg Pak will be writing this series accompanied by pencils by artist, Aaron Kuder.

Now, I don't think any official start date for Pak's run has been announced by DC Comics yet, but I assume he'll be taking over in November, the soonest month that DC haven't already solicited. Good luck to Greg Pak on his run on the series, let's hope this one lasts longer than the previous time DC hired a permanent writer for the series!

The previews for "Batman/Superman" #1 look great so I'm sure this will be a good run for the book!
