"The biggest element of Mister Terrific that I couldn’t talk about before involves Karen Starr. Her appearance in the series was supposed to be a surprise. Readers were supposed to open up our first issue in September and go, 'Whoa! Karen Starr? What’s she doing here?!' So you can imagine my shock when a fan told me he already knew about her presence in the book during a DC panel at SDCC. I was so stunned that I asked the fan, 'Uh, how did you know about that?!' Apparently, somehow word had gotten out the previous day. Oh, well. That’s Comic Con! But you know, it’s probably for the best. Keeping that secret was really driving me up the wall.
Of course now the question is, what will Karen’s involvement be in the book? Sorry, no spoilers here. Beyond confirming her presence as an integral part of Michael’s journey, I can only say that you’ll have to wait for issue #1 to find out how it all begins.
Mister Terrific is the only JSA member getting his own title in the relaunch, while the team will receive their own title by James Robinson and Nicola Scott set in an alternate reality, Earth-2. What do you guys think about Power Girl's place in the DCnU? Are you disappointed that she doesn't have her own series? Be sure to share your thoughts in the usual place!
