November 19, 2014: Johns and Fabok on "Justice League" and the "Amazo Virus"

Justice League #36 MTV.com caught up with writer Geoff Johns and artist Jason Fabok to discuss the "Amazon Virus" storyline currently taking place within the "Justice League" comic book. Here's part of the interview...

    Geoff Johns: The idea is, just as humans have evolved into metahumans. What if another life-form on Earth evolved in the same way? What would a superhuman virus do to the world? I wanted to tap into that fear and paranoia, because the Justice League aren't prepared for something like that.

    When I wrote this script, it was all about putting Jay through his paces. I wanted to do a very slow, creepy, what is going... Why would there be money floating around? And then the action of Batman and Superman, the strangeness of Lex Luthor investigating the League, so that Jay would have to do everything in this first issue.

    Like the Diana/Lex scene, it's Lex projecting onto Diana all this stuff that she would never do. She just wants to figure this out. That scene in particular scene has a nice subtly of character that Jay captured beautiful.

"Justice League #36" is available now in both print and digitally.
