Newsarama.com has just posted a great interview with Booster Gold writer Dan Jurgens…

Blog@Newsarama: OK – So I can see this being a bone of contention with our new friends in the back half of the book, and I’m just going to get it out there right away: The Black Beetle. At what point was his identity decided? Is it something you, Jeff and Geoff always knew or is it something that came in later?

Dan Jurgens: My general impression is that Geoff and Jeff did not have a definite plan in mind for the Black Beetle. Whatever it is, we started making some plans that work in with what we want to accomplish on the book.

BLOG@: Between the reference to Jaime and the return of the Black Beetle, it seems as though this was a tailor-made issue for Blue Beetle’s jumping-on point. Was that serendipity or editorial influence?

DJ: Serendipity. Just one of those things that ended up working out, I guess.

BLOG@: Your Superman is such an iconic look–did you deliberately try to make the one on the monitors look more Doug Mahnke-esque?

DJ: More of a deliberate effort to match up with a scene from Final Crisis, I’d say. I think it’s important that, when reflecting a previous scene, an artist should try to do so accurately.
