CBR have an interview with James Robinson, writer of Justice League: Cry for Justice. The series was originally announced as an ongoing project, but was later re-announced as a mini-series partially based on the speed of the artist.
And I’m glad that it’s ultimately a six-issue miniseries because I think it makes it more special and unique. The art is gorgeous. The guy is amazing. It’s so exciting to see the painted pages when they come in. And the thing about a lot of miniseries is that they might as well be Elseworlds. They have no repercussions to the big picture. No matter how good they are. That’s goes for graphic novels too. Very few of them have any resonance beyond the story that they are in. Whereas with this one, it’s a gigantic ending, bigger than you can possibly imagine, it’s something that will have a ripple effect on the Justice League and to a degree the DC Universe for quite some time.
Each page is fully painted by Mauro Cascioli and it is obviously not a fast process. Casciolio succeeded Howard Porter as the painter on Trials of Shazam after Porter was forced to withdrawl due to health grounds.
In another comment, Robinson doesn’t pull his punches for the poor old Atom:
At the moment, I defy anybody to tell me what is Ray Palmer’s personality? He’s the most unlucky-in-love guy ever. And that’s about it really. So we have a little bit more of a sense of who he is. And how far he’ll go for Justice and that sort of thing. It will make him more of a compelling character.
