July 28, 2015: Comic Creators Talk "Superman #42" and Lois Lane's Role
USA Today spoke with "Superman" comic book creators Gene Luen Yang and John Romita, Jr. to discuss this week's #42 issue and Lois Lane's role in outing Clark Kent as Superman. Here's part of the interview...
- Some fans were miffed at the thought that Lois would betray Superman and expose his secret identity to the world, and Yang agrees "it's a big deal to out one of your best friends like that."
But Romita promises there's a "a very, very well-done explanation. It's not what you'd expect and everybody's making a concerted effort to not make people's eyes roll: 'Oh God, the same old (stuff) again.' It's difficult with a character this iconic and this old."
Even with that coming between them, the artist says that Clark will still have an unavoidable connection with Lois - especially since he's become more humanized in every way recently.
Romita and previous Superman writer Geoff Johns introduced a new ability to the hero's arsenal - a supremely powerful solar flare - that leaves him powerless for a time. He and Yang are now building on that: "He's not going to be great at realizing he's a little slower and weaker than he used to be," the writer says, "and that will have consequences."
Read SUPERMAN #42 in print, for the Kindle or for iBooks.
