May 14, 2003: John Byrne's Justice League

Comicon's Pulse website caught up with John Byrne to discuss his up-coming 5 issue run on DC Comics' premiere comic book title, the JLA. Here's a portion of what John Byrne had to say...

Q: What does the JLA mean to you?

BYRNE: Doesn't that mean "Justice League of America?" Ha Ha. I slay myself. Seriously -- the premiere teaming of the premiere characters. How cool is that? (And, of course, absolutely no pressure. . . . )

Q: What makes a good JLA story?

BYRNE: Finding something they can deal with as a team that they could not deal with individually. Not an easy trick. Not even going to promise without qualifications that I can pull it off myself!

Q: This project -- like everything you do -- seems to lead to a lot of "fan controversy"...why do you think that is, and is it a concern to you?

BYRNE: It only concerns me to the extent that the Age of the Internet has inflated beyond reason the influence of the sometimes vocal minority. Who gets paid more attention to? 100 people sitting quietly in their living rooms, or the guy on the rooftop screaming his lungs out. Mostly, I wish the people who find so much at fault with my work would catch up! They all seem to be hung up on stuff I did 5, 10, 15 years ago!
