DC Announces Johns, Van Sciver On VIBE: REBIRTH

OK, not really, but it's a pretty clever April Fool's Day article, one that takes me back to the days when myself and the 4-Color Review crew had the time (read: simple jobs and no kids) to do this sort of in depth gag. I may have to search through the old archives to pull some of those up, someday...

Vibe: Rebirth will be written by Geoff Johns with art by Ethan Van Sciver, who orchestrated similar returns of the formerly-deceased Green Lantern Hal Jordan and formerly-deceased Flash Barry Allen. The return of Hal Jordan in 2005 under the hands of Johns and Van Sciver marked a dramatic resurgence of the Green Lantern comic book, with the title now ranking as one of DC’s best-selling comics. Flash: Rebirth is expected to sell equally well, if not better, and is available today in comic book shops across the country.

NRAMA: OK, now, we need to clarify. Is Vibe: Rebirth mainly about Paco, or is it more about the Vibe Universe? And what is the Vibe Universe?
GJ: Paco’s the central character. I don’t want to say much more than that.
EVS: Are we being very careful here?
GJ: We’re being very careful. We don’t want to give anything away.
NRAMA: OK, it’s centered around Paco, but what about Armando?
EVS: It’s centered around Paco, but we touch on all the other vibration-based characters as well. We’re not just talking about Armando, but also folks like Black Canary and the Fiddler.
GJ: Just like Green Lantern: Rebirth touched on all the GLs.
EVS: I don’t think anybody… I mean, if you’re an Armando fan, you’ll be happy to see this book. If you’re a Paco fan, you’ll be happy with this book.
GJ: …at least until issue #2!
