For your info. Eirc T is the current writer of The Shield (Red Circle) for DC, The JSA Versus Kobra Mini that is current coming out. And he co-wrote checkmate with Greg Rucka!

Awesome.

According to his recent Facebook post:


So, it's official... I'm co-writing Action Comics. HOLY. CROW.

Good news.
Eric Truatmann is like a clone made with the DNA of Geoff Johns and Greg Rucka.

[Melfice]

Wow great news indeed!

[Doc Goblin]

Sounds pretty great. But who is he co-writing with? Rucka or Robinson? I want to assume Rucka because of how awesome that would be, and it would make sense with Robinson taking over Justice League of America.

Haven't read any of his stuff, but that description makes me excited.

Rucka's Action has gotten a little slow, and seeing as he's now writing this, detective, wonder woman :bn, and co-writing new krypton with robinson, I can imagine he needs some help somewhere.

I look forward to it.

I think his plots are a lot tighter than Johns'. Congrats to him, and what an awesome choice!

Too early to tell.

Johns is a veteran. He has written over 500 comics to date. Plenty of tight plots.

Yup. It's Greg and I, and it's already been great fun.

That's great. You two make a brilliant team. I was a huge fan of Checkmate. Do your co-writing chores extend to the Captain Atom co-feature?

Sadly, no.

Too bad. Though the co-feature is still pretty good already so I can't really complain. I look forward to your first issue.

I'm a fan of Eric Trautmann's work in JSA vs Kobra and The Shield #1 (much better than the one-shot). I can not wait to see his work with Action Comics in the near future! :smile:

Eric needs to right more JSA mini-series btw! Chop chop and make it so /grin

[meek?]

Congrats, Eric! You're awesome!

Peace.

[Sanlear]

This news makes me a very happy comics reader.

[jrp001]

Sadly, no.

any chance of Cap showing up in Shield?

[4thHorseman]

Anyone know what issue the co-writing will begin?

I'm all for it. Especially if they have an artist who does more than two books...

Sweet...between him and JMS I've actually gotten hooked on The freaking Sheild, for pity sake...and I've been loving the JSAvs.Kobra mini.
