Superman (3:42)

What was something you wanted to do with Superman that hadn’t been done before?
-
Exploration of Clark-Jon relationship - so many emotional moments
-
Warworld Saga - why go with Mongul for main villain of storyline?
-
Love Osul and Otho - their lack of exposure to anything resembling compassion and love, and the welcoming by the Superman family, is best addition to mythos in a long time

Superman family gets major focus here - family is thru-line running across the entire arc
-
Special point on Kong Kenan and his “defection”
-
Blue Earth movement - *chef’s kiss*
-
Alien (22:28)
-
Another instance of a father doing anything for his son in first arc
-
Was it always the plan to have 3 separate arcs across 2 volumes?

How much input did you have into Xenomorph designs, or was that all artists?
