Craig: For those of us reading the interview, that kinda don't reconize the name, mind giving everyone a run down of your past, currents and maybe future projects that your working on?
Ethan: Okay. When I was 18, I created a little guy named CYBERFROG, and I wrote and drew his adventures at a couple of companies, most notably Harris comics. I spent 4 years doing CYBERFROG, until the industry just got to the point where it became unfeasible to do such a project. At the time, it was ALL about Bad Girls. No matter how big I made CYBERFROG's boobs, it just couldn't keep up with LADY DEATH. It was time to move on.
I've always liked IMPULSE, especially Mark Waid and Humberto Ramos' take on him, and decided to set my sights on a few IMPULSE related projects. I bounced around, doing a couple of IMPULSE inventory and fill in books, as well as a few back up stories in some of the 80 page Giant books that DC has been doing lately. A year or so later, Craig Rousseau decided to move on from his two year tenure on the book, and there I was. I've got some big shoes to fill, no pun intended, since I'm the new regular penciller, starting with IMPULSE #50. And that, of course, is my future work.

Craig:What really made you want to get into the comics industry? Have you accomplished any goals that you set at the begining of your career?
Ethan:I read comics as a kid, just like every other pro working now. Nobody just stumbles into work in comics. You do it because it's a labour of love. It's what you wanted to do as a kid, like a fantasy job. I stopped reading comics when I got to high school, because I started to focus more on girls and things like that, but once I graduated I began to draw Cyberfrog in order to get the practice I needed to make this into a career.
As for goals accomplished, I think I've set up my life like a sort of step ladder. Little steps, all bringing me closer to...something good. I'm not really sure what my end goal is. But, for example, my first goal was just to finish an issue of Cyberfrog for my friends and family to read. From there, another, and from there, to get published. It's a lot more positive to set small goals, and accomplish them one by one. It makes everything seem more possible.

Craig: Your getting ready to jump on as the artist of Impulse as of issue 50, are you looking forward to your run with Todd Dezago? Can you tell us any spoilers, or any kind of hints on changes in the book or story as from the past writers?
Ethan: Yeah, I'm definitely looking forward to working with Todd.

I've never worked well with writers before. I always had a problem, even when I tried to get some writing help with CYBERFROG, I'd try and explain the 'vibe' of the book to a particular writer, and they'd come up with horrible directions for the series that were just off in left field as far as I was concerned. I gave up trying to find a partner, even though I was never comfortable with my own writing abilities.
Todd, on the other hand, is always coming up with ideas that are dead on, perfect, exactly what I want to draw. Often times, I'll call him up with a small idea I had, and he'll either have already thought of it, or latch on to it immediately with improvements. And we're being given so much freedom from DC, that we'll be creating, or bringing back, some of the weirdest, coolest characters each month.

Craig: As most of the AOL message board readers know, your an avid reader of Young Justice.
Craig: A) What is your opinon of the book?
Ethan: I think it's just great.
Craig: B) The character portrayal?
Ethan: Different, but just great.
Craig: C) The writer, Peter David?
Ethan: Looms large in legend, in my opinion. Splendid.
Craig: D) The artwork on the series?
Ethan: Todd Nauck is really good. I've been looking at his stuff since the EXTREME days. He's gotten much better, too.

Craig: E) If you were writing the book what changes would you personally make to add you own touch?
Ethan: I wouldn't be writing YOUNG JUSTICE, since I don't really enjoy writing. If I were drawing it, I'd make Bart skinnier and younger. But Todd Nauck has a really cool looking Impulse.
