J. Michael Straczynski escribirá SUPERMÁN y WONDER WOMAN

Mensaje por Shelby »

J. Michael Straczynski será el encargado de continuar con los cómics de SUPERMÁN y WONDER WOMAN a partir de Julio del 2010.

El escritor, que siempre se ha declarado un amante de Supermán, escribió esta carta destinada a los lectores y contando sus sentimientos hacia su nuevo reto:
One of my very earliest memories as a child is of watching one of the Superman cartoons created by Max Fleischer. In particular, a scene where Superman puts his cape around Lois Lane to protect her from an incoming tide of molten metal. I imprinted on that image like a baby duck, and a lot of what I laughingly call my personality was formed in that moment (which is why a cel-recreation of that image is one of the first things you see upon entering my home, before you get to the row of wall after wall covered with artwork by Alex Ross, Curt Swan and others, as well as just about every bit of Superman memorabilia ever produced).

As a kid growing up in the mean streets of New Jersey, Superman was an icon for me. It was a tough life: we moved about 21 times in my first 17 years, we didn’t have much money, and every day was a struggle. When I told grown-ups that I was going to be a writer someday, nobody listened, nobody thought I had a chance, because as far as teachers were concerned, kids like me who came from nowhere and nothing were dead-enders, destined to end up working at the gas station at best or in jail at worst. Writers were supposesd to be Ivory Tower guys with leather patches on the elbows of their smoking jackets, who went to the right schools and came from the right families. I lived in the world of No, a place populated by bullies and street fights and tenements, with no possibility of escape.

But Superman…see, Superman could do anything. If there was someplace he didn’t want to be, he could just fly away. And he couldn’t be hurt, which to a kid who got beat up pretty regularly in fights and elsewhere was a pretty attractive idea. Superman taught me the morals and ethics I draw up on to this day: to play fair, not to lie, and to be willing to put yourself between harm and those you care about.

If Superman could do anything, then maybe I had a chance. Maybe I could become a writer. Maybe I could even learn to fly. That symbol, the S, became a badge for me, and growing up I always made sure I had it somewhere on me, like a shaman’s charm. That may sound silly, and from a grown-up perspective it probably is silly, but as Henry Kissinger once said, it has the added benefit of being true. And it helped me get through the hard times, which is why I continue that practice to this day…right now it’s on a key-chain in my pocket.

For me, and I suspect for a lot of people, that symbol stands for the belief in our own potentiality, in what we think we can do, and try, and aspire to. I was watching the news recently, and they were showing Palistinian protests, followed by a story on the night life scene in LA, and later on, a live report from London about somethingorother…and in the background of each of those stories there was somebody wearing a Superman t-shirt or cap. It’s universal.

And there’s a reason for that, a secret no one knows, but I’ll tell you, because of how long I’ve known you, and our longstanding friendship.

And the secret is this:

The Superman symbol is Kryptonian for No Limits.

And whether or not you speak Kryptonian (or Kryptonese), you know that…you know that deep inside, where even the cynicism of the world cannot reach.

I’ve told this story before in other places, so at risk of being redundant…back a few years ago, I was at the Chicago Comic Con when a guy in his 20s grabbed a bunch of expensive stuff off a table in the dealer’s room and made a run for it. The ownere ran after him down the aisle, yelling “stop him!” As he came in my direction, everybody parted like the Red Sea.

I brought him down like a gazelle, and we held him untnil the police showed up.

Afterward, one of the con organizers said to me, “Why’d you do that? He’s a big guy, you could’ve gotten hurt.”

And I pointed to where I’d been standing when it happened: right in front of a ten-foot-tall cutout of Superman. “How could I stand in front of that, in front of him,” I said, “and do nothing?”

As Superman has been for me, so Wonder Woman has been for a lot of women readers, so the chance to dive into that character is something I’m eagerly anticipating. This is a strong, mythic, powerful character who for some time now has been kind of drowning under the weight of her own mythos, so I’m looking forward to paring away some of the layers of debris and undergrowth that have piled up around her in order to get to the core of the character. Coming from the world of TV and film, the first rule you learn is to service the main character more than anything else, so I’ll be writing with an eye firmly fixed on that rule.

As part of that process, we’re going to be looking more closely at how Wonder Woman appears, and functions, and her role in the DCU…and what we have planned will, we hope, come across as dynamic and powerful as she deserves to be.

Similarly, we plan to bring Superman back to his roots, to really explore who he is…how he sees us, and how we see him, in a much more personal way than we’ve seen in a while. This is part of a larger effort that will have national ramifications, but I can’t say much more about it than that for now. Keep an eye on this website for more information when the time is right…but for now, let’s just say that Superman may be a lot closer in proximity to you, the reader, than you ever guessed.

To kick off both efforts by appearing in the anniversary issues of these two characters is a great opportunity, and a good jumping-on point for readers.

If there’s any other message in this to readers, it’s in these two characters as icons of hope, that it doesn’t make any difference where you come from, or where you went to school, or who you are, there’s hope. That a kid from Jersey with Superman as the icon that kept him alive for years would one day end up writing the character is as absoutely unlikely as it is utterly inevitable. And if that’s true for me, it’s true for you, if you follow your dreams and your passions in full flight.

Don’t give up.

No Limits.

It’s never too late to learn to fly.

J. Michael Straczynski

Straczynski es para mí uno de los mejores guionistas que te puedes encontrar hoy en la industria del cómic. Por una parte me alegro de que se encargue a partir de ahora de la serie de Superman, pero también me apena que deje "Thor" (fantástica, por cierto). Seguro que su paso por DC dejará huella, y más sabiendo que es un gran admirador del personaje.

Me autocito a mí misma: "su paso por DC dejará huella". Y tanto que ha dejado huella :smt005 Straczynski ha abandonado las colecciones regulares de Superman y Wonder Woman, para dedicarse a escribir "novelas gráficas" (entre ellas el segundo volumen de Earth One). Parece ser que al señor no le iba demasiado bien cumplir con las fecha de entrega. Es una lástima que un guionista tan bueno como él muestre, en ocasiones de este tipo, tan poca profesionalidad.

Creo que no deberíais hablar del trabajo de los demás tan alegremente, mucho menos si no se sabe qué ha pasado o no. Así es que os dejo un artículo más que interesante en el que se explica precisamente esta situación.

Sólo he tenido tiempo de leer un trozo, y lo que dice es eso, que no tenía tiempo de hacerse cargo de todo. Mis comentarios no se basan tan sólo en lo que ha pasado esta vez, sino que cuando estaba en Marvel le pasaba lo mismo. No le gusta estar pendiente de las fechas de publicación; él quiere ir a su rollo; y eso ya lo sabía cuando aceptó hacer los guiones de Superman y Wonder Woman. La gente se queja de que ha hecho su propia versión de los personajes y ahora no los continuará. La verdad, si yo fuera seguidora de Wonder Woman y me dejaran colgada así, no me lo tomaría demasiado bien.

Entiendo que la gente esté molesta; de hecho, a mí no me afecta porque no sigo ninguna de las dos series. Mientras continue sacando obras tan magníficas como "Midnight Nation", "Rising Stars", su etapa en "Spiderman" o en "Thor"... :smt102

No, lo que dice no es eso... Lo que dice es que podía hacerse cargo de las dos cosas, pero que DC ha preferido en lugar de eso adelantar la fecha de publicación del segundo volumen de One Earth y que deje lo demás...

Es todo cuestión de números, como en todo. No es culpa suya. :wink:

Sí, al tener éxito Earth One la editorial ha decidido hacer cambios editoriales y dar prioridad al segundo volumen, por lo que él considera que ya no tiene tiempo de hacer tres colecciones a la vez. La cuestión es que muchos ya nos olíamos que no podría asumir hacer dos series a la vez. Entonces, ¿por qué lo aceptó? En Marvel, hacía los guiones de una serie y ya había retrasos de última hora :wink:

También lo explica, porque en DC le dijeron que lo hiciera de todas formas de modo temporal, pero que lo otro tenía prioridad.

Lo que está claro es que los plazos los tiene que dar DC, no los escritores ni los dibujantes. Si estuviese "incumpliendo" su contrato ¿no crees que una compañía como DC no lo habría largado? No me veo yo a ningún dibujante diciéndole a la empresa lo que tiene que hacer... :wink:
