NYCC: Jurgens & Giffen take over Superman

Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens are to take over Superman beginning with issue #7.

Fresh off a three issue run on Green Arrow the duo will join forces once again on Superman.

"In my mind, Superman is still the first and best," said Jurgens. "He is the premier character in comics. As a writer, the thing I like best about Superman is the incredibly wide parameter of stories that suit him. Whether it's a cosmic enemy that threatens the entire planet or a next door neighbor who's confronted with an incredible moral dilemma, Superman is at home with both and everything in between. As an artist, the thing I like is the sense of power and integrity Superman embodies. There's something about drawing that majestic figure in flight with the cape and classic 'S' shield that will always be a kick. Working with Keith Giffen, one of the most creative guys in comics, who comes up with more ideas in five minutes than most guys do in a week, is the topper. I can't wait to get started."

"Are you kidding? It's SUPERMAN! The sky is the limit!" said Giffen. "I don't care what anyone says, Superman is DC's flagship title and Dan and I are going to sweat blood to make sure that everyone out there knows why. The sense of wonder that defined the character for so long is, most definitely, coming back. Big time."

If they can being the red shorts back, that would be a start.

Superman: Earth One artist Shane Davis took the stage first, and it was announced that the second volume of the book will be released in fall 2012.

"Real men wear their underwear on the outside," Davis laughed as an image of his Superman was shown, complete with the traditional red pants. He said the book will explore how strong this Superman is, and where his jurisdiction begins and ends. The book will also "tackle his love life."

How many issues will it take Jurgens to use the Cyborg Superman? That's all I need to know.

Giffen on Superman?

This will be interesting (in a good way I suspect).

Dear 1990,

Welcome back!

Love, Me.

P.S. That outfit still looks terrible.

2011 Marvel looks more and more like Pre-Joe Q Marvel 90's Marvel. And not in a good way.

That outfit looks like actually would hurt to wear.

Good job Superman is invulnerable then.

I'm in two minds about this - I'm very interested to see Giffen's take on Superman but was never a big fan of Jurgens' run. I'm definitely going to give it a try but it's going to be on a very short leash.
