Writers Charles Soule (The Oracle Year) and Scott Snyder (Justice League) are teaming up for a new project.
According to Charles Soule’s newsletter, He and Snyder began working on the unknown project two years ago with Soule stating that the idea was;
“A big, special idea – we could both tell we had something great. From there, it was really just about finding the time to do it, and figuring out how to tell the story. That took a while, mostly because he and I are always, constantly swamped with everything, but also because we wanted to do it right, with the best possible artist. We found said artist last fall, and then, because that artist has a specific window of time within which to work, it really kicked us into gear. We’re almost done with the script for the first issue, and we believe and hope the series should debut this fall.”
The writers announced that they were working with each other January 1st and now the speculation about what this mystery project is about can begin. Soule teases that the new series is about America saying; “It’s huge in scope, and tries to really dig in to everything we are right now, everything we’ve been and everything we might be. All of those things are expressed through a big, metaphorical lens that allows us to do massive, crazy, comic-book-y stuff.”
Additionally, “the premise we’re working with lets us go as big as we want. It also lets us dig hard into underlying systems and concepts about America, the story beneath the story (my bread and butter – again, Scott’s too, but we both bring our strengths.)” says Soule.
A new, original project from Charles Soule and Scott Snyder sounds intriguing and I can’t wait to find out more about it. Let me know what you think in the comments below.
