February 12, 2014: Klaus Janson on Inking "Superman" with Johns and Romita Jr.

Superman by JRJR ComicBookResources.com caught up with award-winning artist Klaus Janson to speak to him about his new role as Inker on the "Superman" comic book title with Geoff Johns and John Romita Jr. Here's an excerpt from the interview...

    What can you tell us about the Superman that you, John and Geoff are going to unleash in the summer of 2014? Thanks to the New 52, this is obviously a younger version of the character, but can you talk about specifics regarding his suit or the look and feel of his overall appearance?

    At this point in the process, we haven't nailed down any final decisions on the look that we are going for just because we are still at a very early stage. There is an organic development that generally happens where the characters determine their own visuals, and that occurs only after drawing those characters a lot. It's akin to what writers talk about when they say that the characters write their own stories after a while. With the art side of things, we will know what Superman looks like after having penciled and inked him for a while.

    Does the suit look more like armor or does it look more like cloth? I don't think we know the answer to that yet, so you'll have to hang around and see what happens like the rest of us.
