“Anytime You Get to Write Superman, It’s a Great Experience.” Marz and Shaner on Their “Adventures”

The second chapter (of three) in the Adventures of Superman story by Witchblade writer Ron Marz and Flash Gordon artist Evan “Doc” Shaner hit the (digital) stands today, giving fans their first real insight into the nature and motivations of the metal menace that appeared briefly in the first chapter last week.The issue, available for less than a buck on comiXology as well as Barnes & Noble, introduces a robot built by Jor-El, Superman’s own father. Marz acknowledges the similarities to the classic Warner Bros. animated feature Iron Giant, asking basically what would happen if that character were Superman’s brother, and enlisted to become the Silver Surfer?It makes more sense in context.Marz and Shaner joined ComicBook.com to talk about the story.
