Geekscape Comics: Jim Lee And Scott Snyder’s ‘Man Of Steel’ Series Confirmed

It’s been a rumor that has been floating around for quite some time now that we would be seeing Scott Snyder (Batman) and Jim Lee (Justice League) teaming up to bring us a new Superman title. Earlier today it was officially announced that we will see Man Of Steel hitting shelves from the creative team of Snyder and Lee. It’s been roughly twenty years since I have a bought a Superman title after being burned as a kid by The Death Of Superman. Well, it looks like that’s about to change.

Snyder comments on where this title fits in the continuity and what we should expect from the first arc:

This will play along with the other Superman books in the sense that it’s in continuity, but we really wanted to carve out our own territory. This really is sort of the biggest, most epic Superman story we could do together while having our feet planted firmly in continuity and making sure that everyone had enough room. For us, this is an independent book and something that will challenge Superman in a big way that’s unique to our book. At the same time, I’m friends with Scott and with Andy too, so we’re really excited to play alongside each other and share ideas. I think one of the interesting things about him is that Clark is always Clark. But for Superman, the thing that makes him such a strong character is that the values he grew up with and the person he was raised to be are still at the core of what makes him the most powerful superhero on earth. This isn’t going to be a story where it’s Clark versus Superman or seeing the two of them split. It’s more about challenges for Superman that rock him to the core emotionally, psychologically and also physically. It really is going to wind up putting him up against someone who can go blow-to-blow with him and really take him down.
