CBR TV: Jay Faerber on Creator-Owned Comics

Writer Jay Faerber joined CBR TV to discuss his career in the comics industry, from his early days writing “Titans” for DC Comics to his current creator-owned focus. Faerber goes into his time at DC and how it led him to turning full-bore towards creator-owned series like “Noble Causes,” “Dynamo 5″ and his current crime title, “Near Death.” Ferber is candid about his preference for working on comic properties he has an ownership stake in, a situation that allows him to explore whatever genre or storytelling style he wants to. Faerber also discusses his experience working in television as a writer on the Sarah Michelle Gellar-starring “Ringer” and how working as part of a group has actually carried through to the way he approaches his comics writing, specifically his collaboration with “Near Death” artist Simone Gulgliemini, his “small” part in Brian K. Vaughan’s return to comics with “Saga” and his plans for the future, in comics and otherwise.
