5 Quick Questions With the Luna Brothers

The Luna Brothers, Jonathan and Joshua Luna, were born in California and spent most of their childhood overseas. They returned to the United States in their late teens.

Writing and drawing comics since they were children, they both graduated from the Savannah College of Art and Design with BFAs in Sequential Art.

The Luna Brothers are the creators of ULTRA, GIRLS, and THE SWORD (Image Comics). Their works also include SPIDER-WOMAN: ORIGIN (Marvel Comics), written by Brian Michael Bendis and Brian Reed.

Ultra, was a miniseries published by Image Comics between 2004 and 2005. Girls was also published by Image and ran, between May 2005 and April 2007. Their latest venture is a limited series, again for Image, called The Sword. It started in October 2007. It is intended to last for about two years.

They currently reside in the Washington D.C. metro area.



They agreed to answer 5 Quick Questions:


1) What would you say is your greatest achievement in comics?

Jonathan: I'd say my greatest achievement in comics was getting Ultra #1 published with Image Comics. It was a life-long dream to get into comics and that's when it came true.

Joshua: My answer is pretty much the same. I just feel very fortunate to be able to make comics for a living.

2) Who was your favorite writer or artist that you worked with & why?

Jonathan: Obviously Josh. We're very in tune and complement each other well. Very synergistic.

3) What character you have never worked .., would you like to do & why?

Jonathan: Batman. He's just a normal human being. But he's considered to be a superhero.

Joshua: None at the moment, really.

4) Who are your influences?

Jonathan: Biggest influences somewhat chronologically: Jim Lee. Adam Hughes. Bryan Hitch. Hiroaki Samura.

Joshua: I can’t really pinpoint specific influences without sounding inaccurate, mainly because I’m mostly inspired by random bits and pieces of just about everything I come across.

5) What hero or villain would you like to change if you could and why?

Jonathan: None. They're all fine as they are. And considering we create our own stories, I don't have a strong desire to do that.

Joshua: Same here.
