June 19, 2015: Superman's Comic Book Changes and Lois Lane's Involvement

Superman #41 ComicVine.com has published an interview with "Superman" writer Gene Luen Yang and artist John Romita Jr. in which they talk about the changes to Superman, Lois Lane's involvement, and whether the status quo will be reinstated eventually. Here are a few parts of the interview...

    COMIC VINE: What will be the focus of this series and how is it similar and different from the other Superman titles?

    GENE LUEN YANG: What we're going for is making each title independent somebody could read just one title and enjoy it. But they're also interlocking so if someone chooses to read all four books in the Superman group, they'll get a bigger, richer picture. It's been a challenge but I think we're pulling it off. We'll see.

    The way this current storyline, Before Truth, fits in with all the other Truth stories is in the title. It happens before what happens in ACTION, before what happens in BATMAN/SUPERMAN, and before what happens in SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN. All three of those books are set in Superman's reality. What John and I are going to do is show how we get to that new reality.

    CV: Lois has often been left out of the main stories or delegated to the sidelines. Is she going to get her chance to be in the spotlight some more?

    GENE: Lois has been featured prominently in the Superman books that I read, in preparation for writing this. Like Greg Pak featured her really prominently in a storyline where both Clark Kent and Bruce Wayne lost their memories. I think one of the awesome parts about the rebooted DC Universe is we get to see who Lois is, apart from her romantic connection to Clark. We get to see that she is an amazing three-dimensional character that works well just on her own. That said, she does play a huge role in this current storyline. I really hope that fans of Lois Lane will come out, read the book, and tell us what they think.

"Superman #41" will be released on June 24.
