If you were looking for someone to provide creative direction for your comics-based massively multiplayer game, you probably couldn't find a better fit than Jim Lee. He's been a comics publisher, a writer, and remains one of the most prolific and beloved illustrators in the field. But even with his heavy workload, Lee finds time to play time-consuming MMOs. Jim Lee was an avid EverQuest and EverQuest II player, and plays World of Warcraft with his kids. Now he's working on an MMO of his own with Sony Online Entertainment as Executive Creative Director of DC Universe Online.
GameSpy had the chance to sit down with Lee and talk shop. Read on for an inside perspective on what's in store from DC Universe Online.

WTMG's Thomas Medina: "As far as I’m concerned, console MMOs have always been in a weird place. PC is where the main game is most popular. MMOs were born there, work best there, and have the vast majority of titles. Mobile is then next in line, with touchscreens and portability that adds something new while functioning well. Console gaming, on the other hand, is not portable (for the most part). Plus, it uses a controller, which is not the best instrument when your control scheme requires a thousand buttons and a cursor. That being said, there is an audience, and where there’s money to be made, publishers find a way. So here we are with some of the biggest console MMO games and how I feel they handled 2021. "
From Xfire: "A lot of video games are designed to make players feel like a superhero. However, very few actually feature superheroes or have players take on the role of a superhero. What makes this even worse is that there are even fewer superhero video games that can be considered good."
