ETHAN VAN SCIVER TALKS SUPERMAN/BATMAN

Ethan Van Sciver told The Continuum that his run as artist of Superman/Batman will last six issues.

"I'm having a blast," Van Sciver said. "These are the biggest, coolest properties that DC Comics has to offer."

Van Sciver draws the cover to Superman/Batman #27 (the issus is drawn by Kevin Maguire) and then begins his run with writer Mark Verheiden with Superman/Batman #28.

Van Sciver is especially excited about his second issue.

"It's a showdown between Superman and Batman and Hal Jordan and Kilowog," he said.

Van Sciver continues his Green Lantern affiliation as the regular cover artist as of Green Lantern #14. He is also providing a variant cover to Claw the Unconquered #1.

The artist said he knows what his next project following Superman/Batman will be, but he cannot talk about it right now.
