Eddie's Answers

Benjamin Pearlman (bjp211@aol.com) asks:
I love the Elseworlds titles but I haven't seen any in a while. Are there any plans for more?

Eddie: At this time none are planned, but fans of certain ELSEWORLDS should keep an eye out for books that I do in the regular continuity for a very fun surprise.



Avi Green (avigreen2002@yahoo.com) asks:
There have been quite a few races between Superman and the Flash over the years. With Supergirl now returning to the spotlight, is there any chance that Kara Zor-El will be able to compete with Jesse Quick to see who the Fastest Woman Alive is?

Eddie: Intersting, but Jesse has been out of sight lately. Look for a more likely match up between Kara and Wally in an upcoming issue of SUPERGIRL, maybe, I have to tell Loeb you wanna see this.



Ryan (Pilgrim731@yahoo.com) asks:
Hi Eddie, now that "For Tomorrow" is over and "Infinite Crisis" is just around the corner, I was wondering if you might be able to comment on who Mr. Orr was working for in "For Tomorrow"? Was he possibly working for Checkmate or Lex's new Secret Society? Or was it some other group altogether?

Eddie: Well, I don't wanna really say, but the guy in silo sure looks like Max to me and wasn't Equus kinda OMAC-ish?



Logan (Zorro29670@aol.com) asks:
Hi Eddie! Is Superman immortal (like Wonder Woman) or extremely long-lived (like Orion)? It seems that the only real physical change that ever really happens to him is his hair color, like in the older comics that dealt in "future" and "imaginary" tales. Even in "Kingdom Come", his hair greying was basically the only change.

Eddie: Superman will be around forever, but how we actually portray his age eventually, only time will tell.



Rich (superman7718@hotmail.com) asks:
I have been a Superman fan for a long time, but I soon learned I am falling short because I have not read many of the comics. Do you have a good suggestion as to where to start reading in order to get the story straight? And what would help to get me up to speed with the current Superman comics?

Eddie: A lot of the trade paperbacks will bring you up to speed on most of the major storylines. It's a difficult time to jump in with everything being connected right now, but start next month wth SUPRMAN and ACTION, but to get into it really, track down the SACRIFICE storyline that ran two months back in all the books. It will get you through everything going on now and has nice pay-offs in ADVENTURES.



Russ Green (Smallville069@hotmail.com) asks:
Since Jeph Loeb is leaving the "Smallville" TV series, is anyone from DC Comics replacing him as envoy to the mythos?

Eddie: Those guys know their stuff, even with Jeph gone, you'll note in the promos the appearance of the Fortress plus a major baddie from Superman's rogues will also be on hand. Hey, it's why I hired Mark Veirheiden to come do SUPERMAN.



Martin Alejandro Salinas (mas_el@hotmail.com) asks:
It is true that Gail Simone and John Byrne are leaving "Action Comics" when you leave the Superman books?

Eddie: I'm leaving?!



Jorell Rivera (jorell_rivera@hotmail.com) asks:
In the past couple of years, the Superman books have been host to rotating creative teams (Steven Seagle's 12 issues on "Superman", Azzarelo's 12 issues, Chuck Austen's, etc.). Will there be creative teams put on the Superman titles that will stay for an extended amount of time like Geoff Johns' work on "The Flash" instead of a hit and run storyarc?

Eddie: A year is a long commitment for a creator nowadays. The Superman titles are not the only ones doing this. Although, I must point out that Mr. Greg Rucka is close to putting two years in. The character is also not easy to handle and it's better for all to have a team tell their story, regardless of length and then move on. Better to keep it fresh and exciting for everyone.



Mark (clements_01@hotmail.com) asks:
With characters coming back from the dead with increasing frequency, how can we ever really fear for them in future adventures? With characters like Superman, Green Lantern, Green Arrow, etc there will always be the sense that the death angle has already been played out. Has death in comics become meaningless?

Eddie: I hope not. The "Sacrifice" storyline notes how seriously we take it.



Robert Carnline (dccomicsguy@yahoo.com) asks:
I have a question about Kryptonian DNA. If Superman's and Lex's DNA can be combined to make Superboy, does that also mean Clark and Lois have a chance in having a baby? Is this a storyline we will ever see? Also, what are the chances the kid will be "super"?

Eddie: There were a lot of failed attempts before Superboy worked. Can anybody say, Bizarro. This is something Clark and Lois have to consider when they decide the time is right.



Thanks for answering our questions Eddie!

Eddie: Good batch this month. Be well.
