All Star Superman #11

March 6, 2008: Grant Morrison Talks “All Star Superman”

Newsarama.com have published the 3rd and final part of their interview with Grant Morrison, in which he discusses his work on "All Star Superman". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Q: What's coming up in the last few issues? You've got the whole overarching plot about Superman's impending death, and Luthor's impending executionŠ GM: It all starts folding together in the final three. Issue #10 is Superman's last will and testament. It's basically what he does on one of the last days of his life. Issues #11 and 12 are what everyone's been waiting for, I hope, the ultimate confrontation between Superman and Luthor. And in this one, it's Luthor who has the powers and Superman who doesn't. Brains vs. brawn, but the other way around.

    Issue #12 completes the story - it also kind of functions as the last Superman adventure ever, so we want to give him a good send-off - I think the wrap page is one of the best endings I've ever thought of (laughs). So yeah, I'm very pleased with how that whole book has worked out.

    After that, there's been some talk about doing three two-part All Star Superman specials with some unusual artists who've never drawn the character before. While I was writing All-Star, I came up with a couple of ideas that didn't really fit into the main book but they still had strong ties to the All-Star Superman universe, so we'll see if we can work it out with the guys I have in mind.

    There's a story called "Son of Superman" with an All-Star re-imagining of the Super-Sons concept. (There's also) "Men of Tomorrow," which is a huge, generational Superman Squad cosmic epic, and an idea for a flashback story to the All-Star Superman's first year in Metropolis called "Superman vs. Satan!"
