Last week, Polygon had the opportunity to sit on an interview on a round table with comedy light (The kingdom comesFor, for, for,. Dear Devil), Joshua Williamson (FlashFor, for, for,. Batman and Robin), And Dan slot (That lightFor, for, for,. Superior Spiderman) Together, they are behind the largest current on -current Superman books of DC Comics, and co -authors The summer of Superman SpecialKick off Man of Steel’s Climate Celebration, before trying to improve James Gun’s role Flagship DC movies, Superman.
Williamson has been writing a flagship book on the character since 2023, while Ved wrote on the famous, Superman acting. The kingdom comes The series slot is new to the DC, but not for superhero humor – between these three, in their years of experience in writing superheroes, as long as Superman has it. Exists. And still, when asked what the meaning of becoming the caretaker of the Superman is now, the whole group stopped for several seconds. Then the Veda replied: “Don’t be bad.”
The slot agreed.
“Yes!” Williamson said with astonishment. “It’s scary! I’m glad you guys said this, because I don’t want to give anyone a bully. Of course, it’s scary.”
The three authors are developing their own Superman Siles this summer, starting or launching new ARCs in three series either in April, May and June.
Williamson-DC All-In-In-Innocers, adding new creative teams, new guidelines for books, and the most successful absolute universe-a new story is out of the first gate with a new story arc, which begins with double length. Superman #25, produced by Dan Mora and hit the shelf on April 23. And he said that Superman is at the center of DC Comics’ 2025 and the biggest projects ahead.
He especially mentioned everyone, “Everything in the DCU is really around Superman.” Although the absolute universe, which is developed by Darksed for irrational and blasphemous reasons, is one of the most important narratives of all, but says that Superman is the main focus of his story in the main timeline.
Williamson said, “This is a big piece of what we are doing to all of us, and you are getting to see it over the next year. I’m glad we called it. Superman’s summerBut it’s not just the summer of Superman, it will be more. (…) In terms of the original post maps, you are seeing a lot of superman equipment in addition to next year and more. There are really many cool things that are coming. Obviously, the film is starting with the Dan’s book right now – Soperman is very important for DC right now.

Veda will lift the writer’s reins Action Comedy Starting from #1087, when he and the artist Scaler Patridge will divert this book to Superman’s childhood stories in Small Well, his adventures as superbide. The author said he was especially looking forward to the display of a citizen of the small Kansas town.
“Many times, many times – look at them and tell people why you like them. (…) Ma Kent has actually played a huge part. Action Comedy) Not because anything is wrong with PA. But I think Superman’s stories are very much about the fathers and sons, and I think we haven’t really taken a huge deep diver in a long time on which Martha, in particular, has the influence of Clark’s greater influence. And playing with it is a lot of fun.
Slot’s new title, Superman infiniteBeginning May 21, and will focus on the current metropolis and the Daily Planet, while there is a new and proportional risk. One of the teens has made cryptoonite abundant and full on the ground, and the useful use of minerals has been discovered, which has prevented Superman from finding a way to eliminate all of this. The slot said that Superman would still be able to lift a marine liner on his head and fly to the moon, but now his heel will be a little more exposed. “But his intentions were far away from taking enthusiasm or ground from Superman. He says he hopes that he will be the shocking, foreign hooks as he remembered on the Silver Age Superman Corps.
A long -lasting miracle comics writer who is famous for his wide Amazing spider manSlot said that after meeting InfiniteHe went looking for a Superman action figure for his desk. But he got into a trouble: “In all the action figures, he turned around and angry and meaning, and it was not my superman. I was always looking for a place where Superman was smiling.” He had a similar note Superman infinite Fellow, Rafael al -Bochark.

Slot described the cover Superman infinite #2, in which a steel, bloody man picked up his fists, who defended the cryptant knife and brass knife -off -panel attackers.
“My note to Rafa when he first turned into the sketch, ‘he should still be smiling.’ It should be the same, Well, show me what you got. I’m down, I’m hit, I’m hurt, but I’m still superman. (…) The moment we hit this smile, everything is walking, because Superman has many feelings, but if you can get this smile… When you think about Christopher Rio or George Ravis or all his classic superman moments, Superman looks good for you, when he is looking for you. “
All the long -running comedy book characters come with some tonal variation: Is this Stoke Spy Batman, or Hot Vigilant Batman? Quing Turkter Spiderman, or dramatic soap Opera Hero Hero Spiderman? Creators’ lips, choosing one of these tons, essentially pushes the audience to the section of the audience, which prefers the other. This is especially true for the characters whose cultural maps are more like their original media, as is more than the reach of Superman.
In response to James Gunz’s clips and photos, this trend has been particularly clear in the past year Superman. It seems that every new look of the film seeks a summons to a wave of hot, how the image of putting spermine’s shoes is insufficient, or that it is insufficient to respond to less pain than unbearable stokes. The worst comments or not, there are a lot of people who are right on a scoling superman action figure, if not completely positive.
But although the Veda, Slots, and Williamson may be worried about spoiling it, or will seek all this attention, but they are moving beyond the character of the character, in comedy books, Superman’s own view. Being Superman’s guards can be scary, but for Williamson, this is more important than ever. “Superman is really wrong and really easy to be right. I will instead take the ‘right’ path, especially at the moment where I feel that there are many eyes on Superman, but we need Superman.
The summer of Superman Special On April 16, the shelf collided with the art of George Gymines.
