April 28, 2014: Superman Panel at C2E2 2014

Action Comics Annual #3 DC Comics hosted a Superman comic book panel at C2E2 (Chicago Comic & Entertainment Expo) this past weekend, with John Cunningham introducing panelists Greg Pak, Aaron Kuder, Scott Snyder and Charles Soule to talk about their respective Superman books.

Here are some highlights:

Action Comics - Pak said, "You'll see a Doomsday you've never seen before. There are enormous comic book fights like you've never seen before, the wonderful supporting cast. Everything you thought it was going to be happens in the first issue, and all the others after that are going to be a surprise."

"The drum can't be beaten enough that this is not Superman vs. Doomsday from back in the day," Kuder said. "It is not a retelling of that story." Pak added that it has a bigger, new emotional arc that wasn't there before.

"If you love Superman, you'll love this story, I promise," Pak said, "Also, Krypto's in it!"

Superman/Wonder Woman - The series' crossover issues will have some guest stars. Lois Lane and Batman both show up in #8, and Lois is back in #10 with some "big interaction with Wonder Woman. I love Lois Lane and Wonder Woman both as characters, and I want to do some really cool stuff for them, respect them both a lot," said Soule.

Pak announced that there will be a Batman/Superman issue of Doomed, not previously announced as part of the crossover.

Superman Unchained by Scott Snyder and Jim Lee was next, and Snyder apologized for it being late. "We overestimated our ability to do a hardcore monthly schedule. We decided it was better to be a little late and let Jim just go to town on it." Issue 8 and issue 9 will have extra pages, he announced.

Superman #32, on sale June 25, 2014, debuts Geoff Johns and John Romita, Jr. doing his first DC artwork. Cunningham said they're making a real, concerted effort to make the Superman line "stronger than ever."
