May 12, 2014: USA Today Previews "Superman: Doomed"

Superman: Doomed #1 USA Today has published an article all about the "Superman: Doomed" saga taking place across all the major Superman comic books for the next few months.

    Doomed marks the first major tale for Doomsday since DC's 2011 "The New 52" relaunch, and with it Soule admits that he and fellow creators are resetting the bar and focusing on a creature who seems to be completely and utterly devoted to death and destruction.

    "It's kind of like matter and antimatter - the world cannot exist if Doomsday is in it, and potentially vice versa," Soule says. "It's about dealing with a threat like that who just can't exist. There's no putting it in jail, there's no locking it away."

    Adds Pak: "Imagine a biological threat that destroys all life. And imagine that thing involving and becoming more and more efficient at what it does. What would be the most efficient and best way for such a thing to develop in order to kill as much as possible?"

    This new Doomsday presents a different challenge than the young Superman has faced up till now. The hero's heart is in the right place, Pak says, but he has "tremendous" powers and responsibilities that will be tested to their limits, and possibly beyond. "It's an incredibly hard and complex world to figure out how he should keep track of all the ramifications both positive and negative."

Check out the full article at the USA Today website, which includes preview pages from "Superman: Doomed #1", which is on sale this Wednesday.
