September 10, 2012: Scott Lobdell's Plans for "Superman"

Superman #14 Newsarama.com spoke with writer Scott Lobdell to find out what we can expect from his "H'el on Earth" saga, and from his run on the "Superman" comic book as a whole. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Newsarama: Scott, let's start by talking about your hopes for this Superman run overall. How would you describe the overall tone you've achieved in Superman as you delve into writing the first few issues of the series?

    Scott Lobdell: If I had to sum it up in one word? I'd have to say, "Lots."

    As in lots of action, lots of drama, lots of fun, lots of horror, lots of insight, lots of battles, lots of 'family' interaction, lots of awesome.

    When I was writing for another company a few years ago, when comics were 22 pages, I used to feel like I had at least 10 pages more that I'd want to fit into each issue. And so I would - and that's why there was always something happening with each book month to month.

    Since I started Superman, I've discovered that he's returned me to those days where so much is happening each issue that after I send it off to the editors, I'll re-read it and be surprised by how much has happened in that story. So far, each issue is bursting at the seams - and I couldn't be happier.

For fans of Lois Lane he also added via Twitter: "I can assure you Lois is going to be heavily involved in Clark's life -- hold on to your hats!"
