Superman: War of the Supermen #2

May 19, 2010: Writers Discuss "War of the Supermen"

Writers Sterling Gates and James Robinson spoke with Newsarama.com about "War of the Supermen #2", revealing how much of a challenge writing a weekly series has been.

    Sterling Gates: Writing a weekly series was a massive challenge. James and I had a hint of what it would be like with Last Stand of New Krypton, but it wasn't exactly like this. By making it a four-issue limited series, it forced us to really look at what was important to the story, as well as plan for how a war would be fought so quickly over so many battlefields and different types of terrain.

    Luckily, I had a great co-writer in James, so it was never overwhelming.

    James Robinson: I'd like to add that I have an even bigger respect for the writers who worked on DC's 52. A weekly series is not easy to produce.

    Gates: We also had a lot of help from our two wonderful editors, Matt Idelson and Wil Moss. Those guys kept us organized and on point through the entire weekly process, and we can't thank them loudly enough.

    As for the pluses, hopefully between the four issues coming out weekly and the crazy cliffhangers we've written, readers have a very good reason to go to the comic store every week!
