August 7, 2013: Scott Lobdell Talks About the Return of "H'El"

Superman 23.3 Writer Scott Lobdell spoke with Newsarama about this plans for Superman over the coming months, and what we can expect from the return of the character called H'El in September. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    Q: During the runs of the Super-books so far in the New 52, we've learned bits and pieces about Kryptonian history. How does the September issue play into that?

    Lobdell: It is a prelude to a huge epic story that is going to take place on the streets and skies above Krypton - from its earliest days until their own end of days.

    We have had 75 years worth of Krypton stories and very few glimpses of Krypton in the New 52. As everyone who has seen the movie knows, there is a lot of gold in the hills of Krypton that has yet to be mined. This one-shot is something of a primer for that world.

    Q: In his first appearances, H'El seemed to be motivated by his desire to return home, which was somewhat sympathetic, although it was hard to like his methods. Now that he's returned home, what's his new motivation?

    Lobdell: That's one of those questions where the only answer reveals the plot point on which the story revolves. Let me say this, when confronted with the truth of his origin, H'El is going to have to readjust his entire view of the universe and his place in it. This will lead to dire consequences for everyone.
