June 30, 2015: Pak and Kuder Discuss the Changes to Superman in "Action Comics"

Action Comics #42 DC Comics has published an interview with Greg Pak and Arron Kuder, the creative team taking care of "Action Comics", and asked them all about the current "Truth" arc and the changes that Superman is going through. Here's part of the interview...

    Aaron, how would you describe the change in the visual tone the series has undergone?

    Aaron: How would I describe it? Paired. Like a fine wine with a good meal, or beer and burger.

    The look is matched to the story. That's in fact how the initial design elements started changing. Greg, Gene, John, Pete, Eddie and I worked together to create the story here. As we pulled together story elements, the images floated into play as well. The T-shirt. The jeans. It wasn't rocket science coming up with the "look," but it fit.

    How does it affect Clark knowing that many citizens of Metropolis do not support, and even hate him?

    Greg: We'll explore that big time in Action Comics. Some of the people Clark cared about the most in the city now hate and fear him. And at the same time, he'll find he has some unexpected new allies - and rivals. Keep your eyes open for a brand new character named Lee Lambert in particular. She's a firefighter who lives in Clark's building and becomes a leader of the community that grows there after the reveal of Clark's secret identity.

    Can we expect to see Lois Lane and Clark come face to face in the future?

    Greg: Absolutely. You're going to see the whole story of how Clark's identity gets revealed in Gene [Luen Yang] and John [Romita, Jr.]'s Superman book, which of course will feature Lois and will be awesome.

    And Lois and Clark have some big moments in Batman/Superman that touch on their relationship post-reveal. Dontcha dare miss it!
