More on Identity Crisis

Issue #4 of Identity Crisis is out this week.

The Associated Press ran an article this week about how Identity Crisis is a different kind of superhero tale, one with tragedy and consequences, etc. In addition to interviewing writer Brad Meltzer, who is also promoting the WB's Jack and Bobby, of which he is a co-creator, the article quotes artist Rags Morales and DC editor Dan DiDio, who talks about how this storyline will change the tone of the DC Universe:

The DC universe is a very optimistic place. It’s a place you want to be living in. It’s a place where you know they’re building to a better future. They just have to work harder to get to that better future now, which is more reflective of the times we live in.”
