Issue 54 | Todd Nauck

Issue 54 | Todd Nauck
Q: Were you being paid for this work?
Yes, Nauck confirms he was paid, noting a generous page rate for a new artist and describing his early professional experiences with independent publishers before joining Rob Liefeld's studio.
Issue 55 | Thom Zahler
Q: What story is your all-time favorite or most memorable within comics?
Justice League 200, described as the most 'comic book' comic ever, lauded for its structure, artist rotations, and encapsulation of classic-and-new-character dynamics.
Issue 55 | Thom Zahler
Q: If you could write a story for any company, who would you want to write for and what character would you tackle?
He'd love to write a Superman story and relaunch Shazam, envisioning Shazam as a Disney/Pixar-style property; also expresses interest in writing Slam Bradley for a detective-flavored DC universe.
Issue 55 | Thom Zahler
Q: Who is your favorite comic book character?
Superman, with Firestorm as a close second; he explains that Firestorm was the first character to be on board for the Love and Capes universe and represents a personal touchstone in his career.
