September 23, 2013: Marc Guggenhaim Talks "Adventures of Superman - Chapter #22"
In chapter #22 of the "Adventures of Superman" stand-alone, continuity-free comic book series, writer Marc Guggenheim begins his story titled "Tears of Krypton", sending Superman back to his home world. ComicBookResources.com spoke with Marc about his story...
- The story finds Superman going back to his Kryptonian roots - and discovering that the planet might still be extant?
I found myself thinking about ways to do a Krypton story that haven't been done before. We've seen Superman go to Krypton through time travel, we've seen him go to it in an alternate reality; we've seen him even return to Krypton in his own mind, in the Alan Moore story, "For the Man Who Has Everything." I kicked around the idea of, "What's another way to go to Krypton?" That had me thinking about some very elemental questions that I as a reader had never asked before, which is, "How did Superman know that Krypton was destroyed in the first place?" The only way he knows that is that Jor-El told him so in the message that came with the rocket ship that sent him to Earth. Once I realized that, it made me wonder, "What if Jor-El was wrong? What if Jor-El was lying?" Is that really the only way you could confirm whether or not Krypton was destroyed? If I were Superman, I'd want to go there. One of the images I had in my head was Superman flying to Krypton, and ending a chapter with him seeing it there, and intact. Once I had that image in my head, I realized I had a story. It was something that was very powerful and very elemental.
One of the moments I really wanted to see as a reader and a writer was Superman reuniting with Jor-El. I wanted to see Superman flying down into Krypton and seeing the reactions that people would have to him. It raised some interesting questions - do people on Krypton know that there's a Superman? If they do know there's a Superman, do they have the capability of space travel? Then they could fly a spaceship to Earth, and there could be a whole planet full of Supermen. That's where a lot of my comic book work comes from - just me asking myself questions that I find interesting, and seeing if those questions address the story.
"Tears of Krypton" begins in Chapter #22 of the "Adventures of Superman" available digitally today. Order yours for the Kindle now.
