February 16, 2007: Further Geoff Johns “Action Comics” Elaboration

In addition to earlier statements, Geoff Johns granted an interview to Newsarama. He spoke about the delay in the "Action Comics" shipping schedule and about some future surprises to make up for the delays, including 14 issues for this calendar year in both main Superman titles. Here's an excerpt...

    Q: Geoff, let's start with the changes in the Action schedule - from what it looks like, the "Last Son" issues are not coming along as fast as planned?

    Geoff Johns: DC wanted to make sure the last three issues of the "Last Son" storyline come out monthly, so we made the decision to ship four issues of Action by other creative teams, and then, when we have our issues written and drawn, ship the parts 4-6 of "Last Son" monthly.

    Lateness is a problem plaguing DC and Marvel line-wide (except for 52! Ha!). So Kurt and I went to the North Pole to get inspiration and we developed an insane plan to have both Superman books each ship more than 14 issues this year before all is said and done. Plus, Kurt's got an extra project I cannot wait for connected to it all coming up. I'd also like to see if we could do another Action Annual in early 2008. We had a blast with this one. And there are also plans for an unorthodox short project for mid-2008 that I hope we will get underway.

    Q: With the scheduling changes, is the 3D effect originally slated for part 4 of "Last Son" going to happen, or has that addition been lost due to scheduling?

    GJ: Yeah - it's happening!
