Moon Girl – the new iPhone comic on Comics, by Comixology – is making the scene across the comicsphere. If you haven’t heard of it by now, what is wrong with you? Lucky for you, however, we have a direct line (we call it ‘email) to the creators, Tony Trov and Johnny Zito. We assume that these are their real names, but since they make comics, anything is possible.

We sat down with the gruesome twosome today and learned a bit more about them, their comic, and life in general. Honestly, it changed us. Here’s what we got:

1 – Who are you and what do you do for a living?

Tony: We are Tony Trov and Johnny Zito. The greatest hermaphroditic duo to come out of Temple University since Hall and Oates.

Johnny: We’re are also full time comic book writers and are known to run the most arrogantly awesome Twitter pages on the internet.

2 – How long (have you been) involved in comics?

Tony: We’ve been involved with comic as professionals since we started out on Zuda Comics way back in the year ‘08.

Johnny: For those who don’t know, Zuda Comics is DC’s online imprint. Sort of like Thunderdome for comics.

Tony: Ten Comics enter. One is left standing.

Johnny: The Black Cherry Bombshells is our first series. It kicked butt and they let us have a second comic, LaMorte Sisters.

Tony: Which also kicks butt.

3 – What’s so dang special about your current project (Moon Girl)?
Tony – Moon Girl is a character from EC comics and is actually about 60 years old. In it, masked vigilantes wage a psychotic war against 1950’s bourgeois; it’s The Dark Knight meets Mad Men. Clare is a Russian Princess happily exiled to New York. When enemies from the past threaten her new life the repressed Warrior Queen fights back. In the media her secret, nocturnal adventures are attributed to a mysterious hero; Moon Girl.

Johnny – Champion of the counter culture, Moon Girl represents a movement of young people fed up with the corporatism and conformity of post World War II opulence. The urban legends of Moon Girl inspire the ‘Super Manifesto’ – a post human gospel. Fundamentalists subvert the establishment by dressing in bright technicolor clothes and taking futuristic new names. Extremists turn to violence and terror, expecting to shock the system into change. Only Moon Girl stands between them and us, anarchy and order.

Tony: It’s out on Comixology, which is an awesome iPhone and iPad application. If we did this interview an hour ago, I wouldn’t have said iPad.

Johnny: The thing that makes Moon Girl so special is the amazing art by Mr. The Rahzzah. He’s unreal.

4 – What other work or projects can we look forward to in the near future from you?

Johnny: We have two ongoing series over at Zuda Comics. ’The Black Cherry Bombshells‘ is the tale of ultra-violent girl gangs fighting for survival in a world where every man on Earth has been mutated into a flesh eating zombie. It updates every Monday. LaMorte Sisters is the story of Maddie, the new girl at the vampire orphanage run by strict catholic nuns. It updates every Wednesday.

Tony: Oh and did I mention they are free?

5 – If Superman was your best friend, what color tree would you be?

Johnny: I would be seasonal. Zito Red in the fall and Zito Blue in the spring.

Tony: I’m friends with Batman. So…you know…
