We spoke with PhillipKJohnson about bringing the Super-Family back together in Action Comics 1051!
Spoilers for Action Comics #1051 by DC ComicsThe Super-Family is forming once again, as Superman, Supergirl, Steel, Power Girl, and Lois Lane are among the many heroes who are coming together for an all-new story. In Action Comics #1051, the Super-Family makes its long-awaited return, as Superman returns to Earth following the Warworld Saga, setting the stage for what's coming next for the group of heroes in the DC Universe.
To be writing Action Comics, it's such a pivotal moment is a huge honor and super fun, especially with an artist like Rafa Sandoval attached - he's just crushing it on all fronts. 1051 is meant to be a turning of the page for the Superman books. It's a tribute to the old 80-page and 100-page stories that featured the Super-Family. But it's also a new chapter. And we wanted to make that super clear. 1051 is meant to be the beginning of a new era.
We're seeing the Iron family kind of step out of Superman's shadow and take on their own mission. The Iron family has always been scientists and engineers first and foremost. And now with the help of the Super-Family, they are kind of becoming the first family of Metropolis. They're the most influential family in Metropolis and with the formation of Steelworks, they're helping Superman's vision for Metropolis to really take hold.
Working with everyone in Action Comics #1050 and 1051 has been just the honor of a lifetime, as there is a murderer's row of talent. The writers and the artists mean everyone, editorial, everyone's doing incredible work. Bringing in all the other characters made sense for the story that we wanted to tell. As we're telling this bright story in Metropolis, it makes sense to have the whole Super-Family there in some way.
