Judd Winick flies solo on Generation Lost.

Judd Winick has revealed that he has taken over sole writing responsibility for Justice League: Generation Lost during an interview with Newsarama. Keith Giffen had already shifted from co-plotter and breakdowns, to just breakdowns, and now makes an exit to concentrate on other unannounced projects. Winick summed up the current state of the series,

Winick: This is the end of the first act. I’ve broken it up into a three-act process, and Issue #6 was the conclusion of Act I, where the team has been brought together. The Captain Atom issue is sort of a dénouement. The team is brought together and we learn what the stakes really are. Now, moving forward, the team is going to be incredibly proactive, as Booster’s laid down the gauntlet. Before, they’ve been chasing signals and hemming and hawing about this or that.

Now there’s an entirely different attitude. It’s like, screw it — we’re going after him. We’re going to scour the Earth and take him down. He can’t manipulate us. He’s brought us together, so fine — we’re going to turn it on him. He’s made it clear that he wants us together, but not going after him. We’re going to take him down and destroy him.

So in these upcoming issues are some very action-packed issues. There is a whole lot of superhero fighting going on. Just as Booster and Atom are gung ho about going after Max, and upon finding out that he’s at Checkmate — and I don’t think I’m giving too much away by saying they’re going to break into Checkmate. That, of course, doesn’t go so well, to begin with. But it will lead to someplace else.

Right here in the middle of our movie is where the action gets ratcheted up.

Issue #13 is the conclusion of Act II, which takes us into Act III as it revs up for the end.

He also talks about the revelation about Maxwell Lord in Brightest Day #7, the fan reaction to the new Rocket Red and how Generation Lost impacts on Power Girl (which he is also writing).
