Check out the Unofficial John Byrne message board for the fully details on this one. A couple of weeks ago the writer/artist posted up that he had been approached by DC Uber-editor Mike Carlin to do a 5-6 issue story arc for a book. Today Rich Johnson’s Lying in the Gutters noted a follow-up post where Byrne confirmed that it was to be a JLA story arc. At the moment its not clear how that arc would fit in with the ongoing title or whether it would be a separate mini-series. To DC fans Byrne is most famous for his continuity defining work on Superman, Wonder Woman and the New Gods. He is currently the creator of the Generations 3 maxi-series.

Not sure if this really counts as news, but Doug Mahnke has recently been spotted on the official JLA message board over at www.dccomics.com. He did respond to a few comments from posters:

“i often get comments about wonderwomans hair. im greek on my mothers side of the family and tend to reflect on that when drawing her (wonderwoman). the lovely greek ladies that i know tend to have thick and somewhat straight hair. the huge mass of curls is just not for me.”

Beyond issues of hair dressing, the JLA penciller also posted that:

“a note to you all, just in case you think tom and i are suddenly slacking… there will be a few more fill-ins after issue 79 while we slave on the double-ship summer special.”
