Jeff is writing more comics than you’d think humanly possible, as well as serializing his new graphic novel through Substack. We talk with Jeff about loss, family, editorial leaving him alone, and the art of Travel Foreman and Steve Pugh. His “Animal Man” is one of the most singular and idiosyncratic comics of the era, and holds up incredibly well, ten years on. At the onset of the New 52, Jeff was just dipping his toes into the superhero world after years of doing very small, personal stories. We’re not taking any clear path through these books, but hopping from title to title, line to line, in an effort to spotlight the breadth of the initiative. Over the next year, we’ll be discussing each of the New 52 titles with a member of its creative team. It was an unprecedented move that bore good, bad, and mediocre comics. DC Comics was not just relaunching all of its titles, it was doing so in a new, clean(er) continuity, in an attempt to revitalize and enthuse the fan base. On Tuesday, August 31, 2011, “Justice League” #1 dropped, officially beginning the experiment known as the New 52.
