October 20, 2003: Mike Carlin Talks JLA... Justice League of America

The Pulse caught of with JLA editor Mike Carlin to talk about his job and the future of the "Justice League of America" comic book title. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

Q: You've commented that "Action Comics # 775" was one of your favorite comic books of the last 15 years. Why? Out of the thousands from that time period, what makes that particular story so outstanding and memorable in your opinion?

A: As a former SUPERMAN fan, then editor... the highest compliment I can pay is that the whole story made me upset and angry! To see Superman stopping the modern day "quote-unquote" Heroic Methods USING The same kill-first-ask-questions-later methods was to me!

Until Joe Kelly (writer) pulled it out... preserving the integrity of Superman AND proving in one fell swoop that Superman was completely relevant in this day and age!

Genius issue!

Q: What are some of your other favorite stories from the past decade or so of comics?

A: Too many to list ... rather look forward and build on places I have room to!

Q: Why are Joe Kelly and Doug Mahnke a good fit for the JLA?

A: Joe & Doug do tough people... JLA is tough! Also Joe writes people... and JLA are still people!
