Raven now more "animated"? - "DC Special: Raven" (also: Titans VAs on Murakami's new Ben 10) Posted by Butch on February 1, 2008 @ 2:52 am EST |

 Did Raven's popularity with fans in the animated series lead to Titans co-creator Marv Wolfman's latest Raven solo series? How much does animated Raven influence DC Comics' latest incarnation (literally) of the character? In a recent interview with The Pulse, Marv reveals that and more for the upcoming "DC Special: Raven" mini-series he's writing. In contrast to the original he created, Marv says this current Raven "has more of a sense of dark humor like the cartoon show, whereas the original probably had no sense of humor whatsoever."
On creating "DC Special: Raven" with former Batgirl (Cassandra Cain) series artist Damion Scott: Marv: "Damion's art was magnificent. I had no idea what to expect as I'd seen little of it, but I wrote full scripts and when the pages started coming in I was blown away. They are incredible. I am very happy with the story; it's different and it can be read by people coming to Raven because of the Titans cartoon show as well as older Titans readers. I think I've laid the ground work for a Raven series aimed at the female audience (and guys, too) that isn't exploitive as many female comics are, yet still filled with action. Each issue is one 24 hour day in Raven's life, leading to what I hope is a powerful conclusion. The story is filled with emotion, is somewhat horrifying and yet funny in other places, and plays off of Raven's strengths and weaknesses. I've obviously written all five parts by now (the earlier questions in this interview were answered as I was still writing them) and the art is done so I hope people like it as much as I do and for once I think it's a five-part story that deserves to be five parts." Issue #1 of the five-part "DC Special: Raven" mini-series will hit stores on March 5th, 2008. Marv says he has more big ideas, but a successful run for this mini-series will determine if Raven's solo stories continue. Raven written by Marv Wolfman, with fresh artwork by Damion Scott; what more could be asked for (...other than Marv on the upcoming "Titans" series, that is)? Click here for the full interview.  Terra and Beast Boy reunited at last? Well, at least their voice actors will be.
In a press release today, Teen Titans producer Glen Murakami's revamp series for Ben 10 has been officially announced! Not only that, but it seems even more of the crew from Teen Titans is onboard. Voice actors Ashley Johnson (Terra) and Greg Cipes (Beast Boy) will provide voices for Gwen and Kevin, with Legion's Yuri Lowenthal as Ben. Glen Murakami himself is the series' supervising producer, with JLU veteran Dwayne McDuffie previously confirmed as story editor. Titled "Ben 10: Alien Force", the new series will premiere on Cartoon Network with a full-hour special in Spring 2008. Since Alien Force is set five years into the current show's future, the show will be allowed more mature themes. Click here for the full press release. |
