J.T. Krul interview @ Newsarama

Newsarama’s Vaneta Rogers has interviewed Green Arrow writer J.T. Krul about his upcoming Rise/Fall storyline, the one that spins our of Cry For Justice and Justice League. He comments upon his collaboration with James Robinson and the changes that Roy Harper and Oliver Queen will be facing.

Nrama: How does Roy differ from Green Arrow? Will those differences play a role in the story you’re telling?

Krul: I’ve touched on this a bit already, but in terms for the Rise of Arsenal and the Fall of Green Arrow, it really is about how they react and respond to the events in Cry for Justice. And absolutely, you’re going to see how those differences cause friction between the two.

James [Robinson] is up north now, but we’ve still been able to talk a lot about what’s going on with Green Arrow and the rest of the JLA. I was even lucky enough to attend a DC summit to discuss all the plans being put into motion for our books. It was a tremendous opportunity and a great way for the stories to get even better by allowing us time to come together.

Nrama: How big of a role will other JLA characters play? Can you share any of the specific characters who will be an important to the story?

Krul: Early on, the JLA will play an important role in both stories, and those closest to Ollie and Roy will have big moments throughout the story. For Ollie that means his best friend – Hal Jordan. And for Roy, that means his old friend Dick Grayson, another former sidekick who is adjusting to a new role – Batman.
