October 16, 2011: Superman Panel at New York Comic Con

Superman: Earth One - Vol 2 Matt Idelson was joined by Dan Jurgens, Shane Davis, Mahmoud Asrar and Mike Johnson for the DC All-Access Superman panel at New York Comic Con this weekend, with DC revealing the cover artwork for the up-coming second volume of "Superman: Earth One". Here are some more revelations courtesy of Newsarama.com...

    "Real men wear their underwear on the outside," Davis laughed as an image of his Superman was shown, complete with the traditional red pants. He said the book will explore how strong this Superman is, and where his jurisdiction begins and ends. The book will also "tackle his love life"."

For fans of "Action Comics", Matt Idelson took to the stage with artwork and information...

    Pages from inside Action Comics #3 were shown. Idelson said people continue to be afraid of Superman because he's an alien. The art shown had a Steel Soldiers suit, and Idelson said it's different from what people expect.

    Pages were shown that included Jor-El and Krypto, who looked really large and menacing.

Mike Johnson and Mahmoud Asrar spoke about Supergirl...

    "She's actually stronger than Kal-El," Idelson said. Johnson said, "She came out of that pod ready to go, as people noticed," he said.

    The beginning of the second issue starts on Krypton, Johnson said, then it moves to Earth and establishes the new status quo for the relationship and distrust between Superman and Supergirl.

As for Superboy...

    Idelson talked about Superboy and said the character is "more different than just about any other characters in the New 52." Superboy is not hip or snarky or funny. "He's a blank slate learning how to be a human being. It's a painful process for him, and it will be a painful process for the people around him, physically," Idelson said.

    The Nowhere organization "isn't sinister" and it ties into something else that "we'll see in a couple of months," Idelson said.
