October 22, 2012: Clark Kent to Quit the Daily Planet

Superman #13 USA Today has revealed that Clark Kent will quit his job at the Daily Planet newspaper in the upcoming 13th issue of "Superman" out this week.

    "This is really what happens when a 27-year-old guy is behind a desk and he has to take instruction from a larger conglomerate with concerns that aren't really his own," Lobdell explains.

    "Superman is arguably the most powerful person on the planet, but how long can he sit at his desk with someone breathing down his neck and treating him like the least important person in the world?"

    Lobdell's favorite part? When Clark calls for his peers to stand up for truth, justice "and yeah - I'm not ashamed to say it - the American way," a nod to the Man of Steel's history.

    "While it has its problems, there are a lot of good things to say about America and the American way, and I'm glad Clark is standing up for her," says Lobdell, who also writes Superboy and Teen Titans for DC. "I'm happy to be involved in that and his declarations."

You can read the lengthy article and interview with writer Scott Lobdell at the USA Today website.
