9th Wonders: Comicraft is credited with the lettering in all of the online graphic novels over at NBC.com. Is that Comicraft credit basically you?
JG: Yes, I've lettered all the Heroes comics so far, with the help of fonts we created based on (of all people!) Tim Sale's pen and brush lettering.
9th Wonders: Is there a favourite story out of all the "novels" you've lettered?
JG: I've really liked the latest batch, written by the Man of Action Studios guys. I think they've taken the stories to new levels. I got chills during parts of "It Takes a Village".
9th Wonders: Is there a particular comic's artist or artwork you liked the best?
JG: I really like Tom Grummett's art. He did "Walls" a few months back, and part 2 of the upcoming "Golden Handshake". We lettered his 100 issue(!) run on Superboy in the '90s, which was a lot of fun. He can go from cartoony to gritty with ease, and is a great storyteller -- meaning it's always easy to follow the action from panel to panel, which makes my job as the letterer much easier!
There's going to be a book collection of all of them in the fall too.
9th Wonders: I read about that recently, I think it'll be very popular.
JG: Which surprises me, because all the content's still online for free!
9th Wonders: People like to have things they can flip through. I think some were hoping for the comics to be included in the DVD.
JG: There is a small comic I designed for the DVD with three of the online stories, plus an interview with Tim Kring by Jeph Loeb. I don't know if it's a limited thing, or if it will be included with all of them. The content is the same as the limited comic they're giving out at Comic-Con, so be sure to get one!
