Joe Casey parle des différences entre les comics de super-héros et le cretaor-owned, les raisons de la fin en queue de poisson de son dernier arc de Superman / Batman et aussi d'un pitch d'une série JLA sur les enfants des héros qui n'a jamais vu le jour (et bordel cela avait génial!!! ) : ici.

Et un petit retour en arrière avec Joe Casey qui explique les raisons de son départ des titres Superman en 2003-2004

JOE CASEY : WHY I LEFT
Back in 2001, we'd actually come up with a huge story where Superman's secret i.d. is exposed, Lois is killed and Superman travels to the 5th dimension where he makes a deal with Mr. Mxyzptlk to use his powers to "fix things." So Mxy plays a trick on him. He sends Superman back, and everyone had forgotten his secret i.d.... including Lois. The twist was, Superman remembered everything, so the burden of his life was restored... could he now stand to protect Lois by not marrying her? He became, in a weird sense, the Wandering Jew, which to me brought him right back to the kind of superhero Seigel and Shuster created in 1936. Denying that kind of intimate, lifelong relationship... it was the ultimate sacrifice. It was celibacy, basically." (in case you're wondering... there was one thing Superman didn't remember: Mxy himself. It was Mxy's plan all along when he made the deal with Supes in the first place, that he'd finally be rid of his Achilles heel… the whole "saying his name backwards sends him back to the 5th dimension"-gag. Now, Mxy could show up on Earth, raise hell and their "game" could begin anew, their relationship starting from Square One) So, we'd found a new paradigm that was in the greatest traditions of the character... and the suits shut us down. Perfectly within their rights, but I don't think any of us -- not me, Loeb, Joe Kelly or Mark Schultz -- ever recovered from that kick-back. That was the beginning of the end. First Loeb took off, then Schultz, then Kelly and I. Maybe you're right. Maybe they were shying away from any religious overtones.

Cette histoire avait été abordée dans d'autres interviews : un One More Day avant l'heure mais en plus subtil.

Il a bien les glandes contre DC le père Casey.
En tout cas, ça a l'air de l'éclater sévère de bosser en creator owned chez Image.
Sinon, sa série avec les kids, euh mouais bof quand même.
