Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom #1

September 6, 2008: Gray and Palmiotti Talk "Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom"

Newsarama.com caught up with writers Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray to discuss their up-coming 5 issue miniseries "Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom" set to appear on shelves in November. Here's a portion of the interview...

    Q: Let's talk about Superman/Supergirl: Maelstrom - how did the idea for this come about?

    JP: We were looking for something interesting to do with the two characters that hasn't been hit on yet and this series was originally going to be a Superman Confidential story until we all agreed it was too important, and too big for that series and even more that we were going to be featuring Supergirl more than we would have the right to in a Superman book, we all figured it would work better as a stand alone mini series or a hardcover.

    JG: The heart of the story looks at the relationship between Superman and Supergirl.

    Q: And how specifically does it tie into Final Crisis?

    JP: This does not tie into Final Crisis at all and we see that as a good thing. This is a book that any fan of these characters can pick up and dig in and enjoy without having the responsibility of reading 100 other titles to make sense of everything. There is nothing wrong with that if, but the casual fan doesn't always have time to get so wrapped around all the crossovers these days and we wanted he series to appeal to them and the hard core reader as well. It's a stand-alone tale that has a lot of important information and background and gives the readers insight to what makes both of these characters tick.
