September 30, 2015: Gene Luen Yang Talks "Superman #44" and Beyond

Superman #44 Newsarama.com has published an interview with "Superman" writer Gene Luen Yang to discuss the revelations brought about within the pages of both issue #43 and #44, especially in regards to Lois Lane, Hordr_Root, and upcoming characters Superman will interact with. Here's part of the interview...

    The solicitations for the next few issues don't give away much about what's coming up. Does it still tie into Hordr? Your part of "Justice?"

    Yang: Hordr will be a presence. Absolutely a presence. But there are a couple of things I want to explore.

    First is that Superman makes a threat at the end of this issue that is very un-Superman-like. He does this "eye for an eye" threat. I've heard it argued before that Superman is only good because he's strong. He can afford these ideals because nothing can truly threaten him, because he's the strongest being on Earth.

    We're going to explore the tie between his goodness and his strength.

    Second, I want to look at Superman as modern American mythology. So he's actually going to be coming into contact with some other mythological characters, other mythological figures. So we'll see modern American myth interacting with much more ancient myth in the next arc.
