Well, it's not a narrative any more than your life is a narrative. I feel extremely lucky and proud that my previous work in Adventures of Superman was well received enough to merit me getting my own series I pitched the idea about three times, and the third time was the charm.Ĭan you explain Superman: American Alien’s narrative for those who aren’t familiar with it? The first was my short film The Death And Return of Superman, then I released an opinion piece called Regarding Clark, and at around that time DC started reaching out to me. I've been obsessed with Superman since I was little, and as I grew up, I slowly started putting out material having to do with the character. How did Superman: American Alien come about? With the comic nearing its halfway point, we felt it was long past time to talk to Landis about his most substantial super hero project since Chronicle and one of the best miniseries currently on the stands. With each issue being brought to life by a different superstar artist (the amazing Joelle Jones illustrates today’s new chapter), it’s a glimpse into a hero’s development in a way we’re unaccustomed to seeing-small pieces of a much larger image that only starts to come together as the series progresses. Set outside of continuity, Superman: American Alien explores Clark Kent’s development by looking in on seven key moments from his youth. With issue #3 on the stands today, screenwriter Max Landis’ look at Superman as a young man is a startling reminder of how relevant the Man of Steel remains and the importance of new original voices within the realm of super hero comics. So to say that “surprising” is far and away the best word we can think of to describe SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN is no small thing.
In fact, there’s very little about Superman that we don’t know. We know his powers and we know his history.
We know all about his life, his friends and his enemies. With a history that now extends over 75 years, we likely know the Man of Steel better than we know some of our friends and family. At some point in our life, we’ve all read a Superman comic, seen a Superman movie or watched a Superman cartoon or TV show.
