October 26, 2010: Chris Roberson Talks "Superman/Batman #79"

Superman/Batman #79 ComicBookResources.com grabbed some time with writer Chris Roberson to get the inside scoop on his visit to the DC One Million era within the pages of "Superman/Batman #79". Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    The end of the original "DC One Million" series sees Superman Prime being reborn out of the sun and reuniting with Lois Lane. For your story, did you wind the clock back a bit before that event happened to show the heroes in the midst of their careers, or do we pick up with that world after the original Superman has returned?

    One of my touchstones for this is the Silver Age "World's Finest" book, which as a kid was one of my favorites. There, they didn't deal with the larger ongoing plots from the character's individual books. They just said, "Here's this thing happening to Superman and Batman right now." So this story in my head takes place after the "DC One Million" crossover, but I don't spend a lot of time on the page talking about what's going on in their lives outside of this story. There's this villain doing a thing, and they deal with it. But as much as possible, I tried to pick up on the great threads that Grant had running through and added a few more of my own to make it interesting.

Check out the entire interview at the CBR website.

"Superman/Batman #79" can be pre-ordered through TFAW.com.
