March 23, 2011: Paul Cornell Talks "Action Comics #900"

Action Comics #900 The Herts Advertiser has published an interview with comic book writer Paul Cornell in which he discusses issue #900 of "Action Comics", his final issue as writer of that title.

    "I'm so aware of the honour of it, and it's a really great pleasure - we've got 50 pages of lead story in that issue, plus all the stuff in the back by the other contributors - and it both serves as a real ending to Lex's Black Ring story and also the same story is the start of Superman's battle against Doomsday [the monster responsible for killing him in the 1992 story The Death of Superman].

    "It's not like one thing ends and the other starts, they are part of the same big ongoing story, and a few of the other characters we've had appearing in the run will pop up again, a few of the villains Lex's met.

    "The Doomsday stuff was brought to me as a thing that the company was going to do next, but when it got to Action I was very much allowed to use it to finish the Black Ring, which was like rocket fuel, and also to finish it as I wanted to, which is a good feeling."
