Writing Earth 2.
MTV and DC Comics have just announced that I am the new writer of Earth 2 with my great friend, and fellow Australian, Nicola Scott on art.
Nicola is an incredible artist and I feel very lucky to be working with her.
I really want to acknowledge the great work that James Robinson has done on this book. James is a wonderful writer who I have a lot of respect for, and with Earth 2, he’s built an entire world and filled it with characters and mysteries aplenty.
I want to thank everyone at DC Comics for the faith they’ve shown in me with this one.
It’s not every day someone hands you a whole planet. I’ve destroyed a lot of worlds while writing Star Wars but I’ll try not to break this one.
Here we go…
