July 20, 2010: Nick Spencer Talks Jimmy Olsen Backup Story

Jimmy Olsen ComicBookResources.com spoke with writer Nick Spencer about his Jimmy Olsen backup story within the pages of "Action Comics". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    What do you like about the character of Jimmy Olsen as a writer?

    What I love about Jimmy is that he's a normal guy. Now, people say this about Batman or whoever all the time, and to some degree that's true, but really, Batman is an extraordinary human being, something few, if any, could be. But Jimmy, anyone could be Jimmy. And it's not just about skills or ability as a fighter or whatever. Jimmy is normal in that he lets things go to his head, he gets upset, he falls for the wrong girl. He's very much one of us. The only thing he has that most don't is the willingness to get out there and do things. He's very determined to live his life to the fullest, to experience as much as he can.

The all-new ongoing backup co-feature begins with "Action Comics #893" in September.
