February 10, 2014: Scott Lobdell Leaving Superman After "Doomed" Saga

Superman #30 Newsarama.com caught up with writer Scott Lobdell to talk to him about the upcoming "Superman: Doomed" crossover between "Action Comics", "Superman/Wonder Woman" and "Superman" titles, which will conclude his tenure in the Superman world. Here's a part of the interview...

    Q: Scott, does the Doomsday story take you to the end of your run?

    Scott Lobdell: Yes, and what a note to end on! I'm honored that I get to participate in the most epic Superman story of the New 52 to date!

    Q: Since we interviewed Charles last week, a lot of people have been calling this a "retelling" of the "Death of Superman" story. Is that how you'd describe it?

    Lobdell: I am sure I speak on behalf of both Charles and Greg when I say that anyone who is expecting a cover band version of the Death Of Superman is going to be sorely disappointed. That story was told nearly 20 years ago. There is zero interest on anyone's part to do a New 52-version of it.

    After the finale of "Superman: Doomed #1" is read, you'll understand that there is no possible way for us to re-tell that story again.

    And also, let me say that working with Greg and Charles has been a thrill because we all three go out of our way to keep each other "honest." If there is something the other two feels is familiar or a point that we don't understand, we think nothing of challenging or questioning one another to make sure this is the most awesome story ever.

    We want to make sure that, like "Death of Superman," this is a story they are still talking about 20 years from now!
