January 8, 2014: Creative Team Discuss "The New 52: Futures End" Weekly Comic

Cyborg Superman ComicBookResources.com sat down for an exclusive interview with Brian Azzarello, Keith Giffen, Dan Jurgens and Jeff Lemire, the creative team behind the upcoming "The New 52: Futures End", DC's new weekly series, which will run for 52 weeks, plus a #0 issue which will kicks things off on May 3.

    So is there anything you can say about what the future timeline of the DCU is like, other than, based on the first cover revealed, it looks kind of weird and creepy?

    Azzarello: Isn't that enough?

    Jurgens: Let's just say there are elements involved that reach throughout the entire DC Universe, and I think will have some lasting repercussions down the road.

    Azzarello: Yes, it's going to be lasting until the next damn event comes along. [Laughs]

    Lemire: There is one huge, unifying event that's occurred in the five-year gap that we're really playing off of. We're not going to say what that is, but it's something that happens between now and five years from now that really dramatically affects the Earth and the heroes, and we're seeing the repercussions of it.

    Giffen: The thing with the "Five Years Later" that we're putting a lot of thought into is really trying to figure out, five years from now, what's the tech you're using? Five years ago, a lot of the stuff that we take for granted in terms of social networking and all was just coming around, or didn't even exist. What would a TV be like five years from now? What kind of cell phones would you have five years from now? What kind of technology will people be utilizing just as a matter of course five years from now? That's a fun aspect of it.

    In terms of the characters five years down the road, again, think of yourself five years ago, and you'll see that there's a lot of room for having the character to show up having developed through those five years, and whatever events they went through. That makes it kind of fun.
