Greg Rucka’s fan favorite private eye is back in a new ONGOING series illustrated by Justin Greenwood (Image Comics’ THE FUSE)! Things never go according to plan for Dex Parios–it doesn’t matter whether it’s work or play. When a weekend of soccer fun (both playing and watching!) turns ugly, it’s up to Dex to get to the bottom of the violence before a heated rivalry transforms into an all out war![/quote]
[quote=« Justin Greenwood »]To Greg’s credit, he went out of his way to make me feel really comfortable right from the outset, and that I should treat the material as my own and be willing to do what I think is best with the art. That kind of faith goes a long way with me and I think that openness to new ideas is what makes both collaborations fun and for a better final product. I probably spent the first couple issues really working on trying to get it as visually true to the spirit of the book as possible, but you can definitely see me loosening up and playing more with later issues.
I think Genuine collaborations are like any other relationship – they grow and change as you get to know and understand each other better, and while it’s still pretty early for us we’ve been finding our way pretty well. I feel like I pretty much have free reign with the art, so long as what I’m doing serves the story and goal of that panel/page/issue. Creatively, that’s a great place to be and it makes things feel fresh and fun.[/quote]
