DC Comics

Predating Brubaker's Alternative Comics work by two years, Vertigo Visions: Prez, Smells Like Teen President (1995) was Brubaker's first work for one of the two major American comic book publishers. Published by DC Comics’ "mature readers" imprint Vertigo, the comic was a broad political satire which revamped an obscure 1970s Joe Simon creation. Brubaker worked with his "An Accidental Death" collaborator, artist Eric Shanower, again on the comic.

They started with the four issue serial "Trail of the Catwoman" which ran in Detective Comics #759-762. In the serial, private detective Slam Bradley attempts to investigate the death of Selina Kyle (AKA Catwoman). The story led into a new Catwoman title in late 2001 by Brubaker and Cooke in which the character's costume, supporting cast and modus operandi were all redesigned and redeveloped.

At the 2001 San Diego Comic Convention Brubaker and Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis discussed co-writing a story which would team up DC's Batman with Marvel's Daredevil. The two writers were enthusiastic about their ideas, which included a fight between Batman and Marvel villain Bullseye as well as another between Catwoman and Elektra. DC editors Matt Idelson and Bob Schreck were also enthusiastic, but DC executive editor Paul Levitz objected to the project due to a prior disagreement with Marvel editor-in-chief Joe Quesada. [6] The aborted project became controversial when Bendis publicly criticised Levitz's decision at the 2002 Wizard World Chicago comic convention. (Bendis later apologised for his comments, saying that he regretted ever discussing the project in public.)

In early 2003, Brubaker and writer Greg Rucka created and co-wrote the Gotham Central series. Focusing on the activities of the Police Department in Batman's Gotham City, the two writers either co-wrote storylines or wrote alternate arcs separately throughout the series, which featured artwork from Brubaker's Scene of the Crime collaborator Michael Lark.

Wildstorm

In 2002 Brubaker did his first work for Wildstorm, (another DC imprint), with the series Point Blank which featured the artwork of British artist Colin Wilson. The series took existing concepts from the Wildstorm universe, such as Grifter (the star of the series), John Lynch and Tao and used them to set up his Sleeper series which debuted later that year.

In December 2003, in a unique publicity stunt conceived to help promote the first trade paperback collection of Sleeper, Brubaker organised an "arm-wrestling competition" at San Francisco's "Isotope - the comic book lounge" comic book shop. If participants were able to beat Brubaker at arm wrestling they were awarded free signed comic books. According to Brubaker, the writer wrestled 40-50 people and won most of the fights, losing only eight or nine times. [8] This article does not cite any references or sources. ...

Although Sleeper was a success with critics and fans on the internet, the series underperformed commercially, and so it was cancelled after its 12th issue, only to be relaunched in 2004 with the same creators as Sleeper: Season Two. [9] Season Two also ended with its twelfth issue, the story apparently concluded.


Brubaker's other work for Wildstorm during this period was the third volume of The Authority. Brubaker first tackled the characters with artist Jim Lee on the one issue special Coup D'Etat: Sleeper which showed how a series of events led the Authority (a powerful team of super-humans) to take over the United States.

In February of 2005 Brubaker signed his first exclusive contract with Marvel, the deal allowing the writer to finish out his prior commitments for DC on Gotham Central and Sleeper. [10] In an interview with Newsarama Brubaker attributed his shift of employer to the publishers' good treatment of him, the quality and high profile of the work Marvel was offering him and his lack of involvement in DC's "big plans" (DC's large intercompany crossover Infinite Crisis was in the final planning stages at the time). [11] Brubaker's Marvel exclusive contract was extended and expanded in April 2006. [12] Newsarama. ...

Writing style

Brubaker first early comics work was primarily in the crime fiction genre with works such as Lowlife, The Fall, Sandman Presents: Dead Boy Detectives and Scene of the Crime. His initial super-hero comics work tended to incorporate some aspects of the crime genre - examples of this include Batman (detective stories), Catwoman (whose star is a cat burglar) and Sleeper (which featured a protagonist who goes undercover as a super-powered criminal). It has been suggested that this article or section be merged with mystery_fiction. ... Burglary is a crime related to United States burglary is a felony and involves trespassing, or entering a building with intent to commit any crime, not necessarily a felony or theft. ...


This has continued with his work at Marvel Comics, such as Daredevil (the first issues of his run are largely set in a prison) and Criminal. However he has also worked on more mainstream super-hero series for Marvel, such as Captain America (which features elements of the espionage genre of fiction) and Uncanny X-Men. Spy and Secret agent redirect here. ...


When working on licenced characters with extensive established histories at both Marvel and DC Brubaker has consistently changed aspects of those characters' backstories. Examples of this include the return of Holly in Catwoman, the return of Bucky in Captain America, and the introduction of the character Vulcan in X-Men: Deadly Genesis. Brubaker has defended himself against criticism of this aspect of his work by stating that the emergence of an unrevealed "secret from the past" is "one of the main tropes of all mystery and suspense fiction, as well as one of the oldest stories in the world - just look at Oedipus, for example".

The New CAT WOMAN (1801 words)
ED BRUBAKER: My editor, Matt Idelson, called me up one day and I thought we were just talking, about the various Bat-titles and stuff, and suddenly our talk centered on Catwoman, and I got to saying what they should do with her.
ED BRUBAKER: I hope it's not all that different, in some ways, because I don't want people to think I just threw out everything that came before, but I think the main difference is that I've attempted to give Selina more of a mission than just doing whatever she wants, and being a thief.
ED BRUBAKER: Well, Catwoman's got such a convoluted history, that when setting out to really tackle the book, and redefine her character, you have to sift through a lot of it and pick the stuff that you like, and that works well together.
Gotham Central - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (1172 words)
Gotham Central is a comic book series that was published by DC Comics and written by Ed Brubaker and Greg Rucka, with pencils initially by Michael Lark.
When writers Greg Rucka and Ed Brubaker collaborated on the "Officer Down" Batman crossover, they knew their next project would have to be about the police in Gotham City.
Ultimately Lark and Brubaker moved on to other projects, and, after three years of publication, it was announced that the series was ending amid the Infinite Crisis aftermath.
