July 18, 2011: Green & Johnson Talk Supergirl

Supergirl #2 Newsarama.com caught up with writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson to talk about the relaunch of the "Supergirl" comic book and what readers can expect from this new Maid of Might. Here's a portion of the interview...

    Nrama: So with Supergirl #1, you could pick this comic up and know nothing about the character at all, right?

    Mike Johnson: You could pick up the book and never have read anything about Supergirl. The stuff that you might already know would inform it, but we want this to be a book that you can hand to anybody, boy or girl, at any age, and they can just enjoy it as a story without having to know anything about Supergirl or Superman or Krypton or anything.

    Green: We're approaching this as if we're inventing a new character. Obviously, she'll have similarities to the character people already know, but she'll have some new things as well.

    We're really focusing on her specific journey on our crazy planet, and letting it just be about that. She'll interact with other people in the DC Universe who are experiencing interesting things in the relaunch, other characters you'll recognize. But this is going to be Supergirl's book.
