Superman: War of the Supermen #3

May 25, 2010: Robinson and Gates Talk "War of the Supermen #3"

In the 3rd installment of their 4-part interview with writers James Robinson and Sterling Gates, Newsarama.com delve into the third issue of "War of the Supermen", discussing "The Battle for Earth".

    The art implied some Kryptonians who were around the Mars base died under the red sun while others lived, including Superman and Supergirl. Is that accurate? Can you describe what happened?

    Robinson: Basically it was a crapshoot. The sun was only red for a moment. Some lived, some died. Superman and Supergirl were lucky. Red Shard, Superman's old unit on New Krypton, weren't so lucky. But indeed, although it isn't shown, I always imagined some other Kryptonians surviving along with Supes and Supergirl.

    Gates: Though you can make a case for Superman and Supergirl having more yellow sun energy stored in their cells, giving them a moment's advantage over the others. That's how I imagined it shaking out, and the rest of the survivors were lucky, as James said.
