• Welcome the new creative team of Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort as they take us back to the days when Jor-El learned the truth about Krypton’s imminent destruction!

• Plus: More on the introduction of the Eradicators!

I gotta say, this cover is so so so so so beautiful, Its like the best cover for Superman.

Looks great! I really like Rocaforts art though I wonder if a new artist is going to take over Red Hood and the Outlaws now?

Oh good, now I have an excuse to drop Red Hood

hmmmmm how is this going to work?

Yes, but this news is with the inclusion of Ken Rocafort. And the confirmation. So I believe it deserves a thread of its own :)

Why?

I don't think they'll be in Red Hood now.

Just because they are on Superman doesn't mean they will be leaving Red Hood

Lobdell maybe but most artists havn't even been able to handle 12 issues of one title, doubt Rocafort will be working on two consistently.

I hope not :(

Im already excited about Superman.

When was the last time anything that happened in Superman mattered. From the past 9 issues I've read faithfully, everything could be thrown away and be disregarded. The only thing that mattered was the introduction of nano-tech suit. Everything else was canon only in Action Comics.

In just the description, Scott would be reintroducing the "Eradicators" or should I say

@spiderbat87: TBH, I really would like a new, younger writer for Superman...God, Aquaman, WW, GL and Batman have amazing writers...Why can't Supes have the same treatment..

This......though that interview gives me sum hope,n i hope lobdell does THE Flagship title justice. (fingers crossed)

@Primmaster64: No Way.....its Superman.

It can't be worse can it?

One thing is for sure, it wont be as boring as the past few issues.

@Primmaster64: he already dropped superboy at issue 11.

I've heard from sources, DC really wanted Scott to write Superman 6 months ago.

As far as comparing Superman to the other books, I would say apples and oranges — if those apples and oranges had a bright red “S” on their chests! Grant [Morrison] does that great retro-freshness he does and Geoff [Johns] gives us an unbridled action movie every month — I’m determined to give you a Superman that surprises you from issue to issue.

That’s not hyperbole, either, when I finished the plot for the first issue I gasped!

The idea of an insane Superman should be the most horrifying thing anyone of us can imagine, for example, but when that person winds up being  a cute and cuddly Bizarro, it takes the villain out of super villain.

We plan to change that.

I like the part in bold.

As do I.

That's the best part

The types of plots RHATO has would suit Superman much more than it does two street levelers, even with their alien companion. I just hope this doesn't mean Rocafort is off of Red Hood entirely. He's pretty much the reason why I still pay attention to the book.

I don't know about this. Lobdell's been kinda hit or miss (mostly miss) on the other three titles he's on.

Rocafort is great artist, but Lobdell has been horrible on most of his books recently.

I feel like Ken is a good match with Scott. Because of how Scott's work is very exposiion heavy, he needs someone like Ken to really have inventive layouts and likewise Ken's layout and style fits Scott perfectly. Its one reason why red hood has been consistently good performer. In terms of sales and quality

@sethysquare: Yep, quality...
