Planet DC2 05/16/2007

Oh, hey. Didn’t think I’d see you here again. Not after the last time. Don’t go thinking I forgot. Yeah. I think we all know what you did.

I’m on to you.

ANYWAY! Welcome to another week of PLANET DC2! Yeah, I’m sorry, it’s Charlie here again, filling in for our usual purveyor of DC2niverse knowledge!

Thing is, I murdered Seb, so here I am again, and what a way to mourn his passing, than by showing you an exclusive interview behind the razor sharp mind behind THE FLASH?

First off, let's get to know about you. How the hell did you get into my bedroom?!
You gave me a spare key.

Who the hell are you and where you from?
My name's Sebastian Gutierrez. I am from the tropical land of Puerto Vallarta, in the country of Mexico.

What's your favourite colour of sky?
Red. Or black. 'Cause that means awesome.

How did you hear about the DC2 and what did you want to do when you got here?
One time, by pure luck, searching for spoilers for a comic, I found it in the DC forums. So I entered, read, and fell in love with it.

Did you always want to write The Flash? Was there anyone else [character wise!] you wanted to have a crack at?
Yeah, Flash was always a must write. Ragman and Doctor Thirteen also, the second one I've already written and plan to write even more.

How did you get the writing gig?
I asked for it nicely. Twice.

How is writing with Immanuel? What is the process you two have when you collaborate? Is he as much as jerk as he comes across onsite ? [Kidding!]
He is a great guy. Really. We never argue, and he is awesome! Also, he never gets too angry when I deliver in the last minute the story. It's a miracle The Flash has never been late. And that is one of his tons of powers.

What can we expect from you after the upcoming Crisis?
To kind of disappear for a while, but then come back! I really have lots of ideas in my head. All of them, with C and D list characters, pleading to appear somewhere. The only thing is that I quiet lots and lots of them . But there are some that won't go away, so All Star Comics, Rogues Gallery and DC2 Showcase, here I go! [Go? Come? Went? *Shrugs* - Charlie]

Why the hell did you accept the responsibility of doing a weekly column?
Because I love the site. Really. If I could draw, I would also be an artist, and I'd love to be an editor, but I'm not as skilled, I think. So, a weekly column was the least I could do.

And we love you for it. You’re my boy, Seb! Anyway, if you could write any one book right now, what would it be?
I'd go for one team book. I don't know, really. What I really want is to create another title, but from the ones in existence, I'd go for.... the Titans. Yeah, Teen Titans. Or Suicide Squad. Maybe Justice League? God, I don't know.

What books do you go straight to every month? [You know what you should be reading? Action Comics... ]
Lately I haven't been reading as much as I'd like. But The Question, that was one of them. [ – Charlie] New Outsiders, Justice League, Powers Inc. Shazam! when it posted, and I am reading the Suicide Squad, which I loved, but things got me away from it. Real sadness.

Anything you want to tell us about The Flash before you go?
Well, of course! The end is near! Many answers, lots of running, tons of villains and the recreation of the Rogues! Kadabra and the Flash fight DANGEROUSLY close to the Speed Force, one bad movement and they might get inside... forever! The fate of Cold, the direction of the Top, punishment and revenge! Nose twitching, action packed moments! OWO! Go read it!!! Noowww!!!

Wow. You heard the man.

I’ll be back next week.

Be afraid. Be very afraid.
