Superman’s status as a hero and and his enduring legacy were the main topic of discussion in today’s Superman: The Man of Tomorrow panel. Multiple creators were on hand to discuss the characters impact and continued relevancy, including John Romita Jr., Aaron Kuder, Ken Lashley, Eddie Berganza, Charles Soule, and late entrant Geoff Johns.
Moderator Bill Wayne, DC’s SVP of Sales, kicked off the panel by asking Romita Jr. to describe his initial thoughts working on the book. The artist likened it to “getting on the freeway on a tricycle.” He acknowledged feeling a bit daunted tackling the Superman character after working on a book like Kick-Ass, stating that it wasn’t till he finished the double page spread in Superman #32 that he felt like he was back to where he wanted to be.
