August 19, 2012: Dan Jurgens Talks "Superman #11"

Superman #11 "Superman" writer/artist Dan Jurgens spoke with ComicBook.com about issue #11 of the monthly title, the second to last issue of his current run on the Man of Steel. Here's a portion of the interview...

    So "The Story of the Suit!" was really just a panel verifying what we already expected about its origins. Was that something that DC just said, "We're going to call THIS the issue where the suit is explained, make sure to drop something in there!"?

    Could be. Writers don't write cover copy- or at least, I don't.

    On that same line, is something like allowing the suit to be damaged something you have to run by DC editorial? I know the cape is invulnerable, but that's substantial damage to the suit in a pretty short window of time.

    Every story is "run by" DC Editorial. That's what editors do. So, yes, that happened in this case.

    On that short window of time, do you think a quick, brutal battle like this is better or would you have liked to have more time to flesh that fight out?

    Every writer would like more pages! Well, usually, anyway.
    But I'm generally satisfied with what I had here because I wanted it to have a real "quick strike" feel to it.

    What's with the Predator hair? I've really only seen that look on Lobo and Massacre before in the DCU.

    I thought it was an interesting look. More than that, I can't say.
