July 24, 2012: Shane Davis Discusses "Superman: Earth One - Vol 2"

Superman: Earth One - Vol 2 In an interview with ComicBookResources.com artist Shane Davis talks about returning to the world of the "Earth One" Superman and collaborating once more with writer J. Michael Staczynski.

    "The Superman stuff felt new if only because I got it so much more in this book," Davis told CBR of his return to collaborating with writer J. Michael Straczynski. "In the beginning of this book, he is Superman, and he's doing good deeds around the world. I felt like I didn't get to do too much of that in the previous book. It was page 90 before he appeared in costume. But here, rather than Clark becoming Superman, the story is much more true to what people are accustomed to. He's Clark Kent, and then he's got to run off to become Superman. He really is visually juggling two lives...the whole book itself is kind of a completely different layout from Volume 1. From an artist's point of view, the pacing and visual beats feel totally different. It felt like its own book and not so much an add on.

    "But story-wise, it picks right up from the Daily Planet article at the end of Volume 1, and we see Clark have a feather in his cap for breaking the Superman story. So it is a very fluid book, even though it's a completely different book."
