Comic-Con 2013 Exclusive: Scott Snyder & Jim Lee of ‘Superman Unchained’

July 24, 2013

DC’s hottest writer has been Scott Snyder, with a critically-acclaimed run on Batman that’s going so far as to redefine his origin story for the New 52 era, and he’s got the full support of DC Co-Publisher Jim Lee, the industry legend who remains the standard bearer for what defines comic book art. So much so, in fact, that Lee is serving as the artist for Snyder’s new Superman Unchained series, which hit the ground running and has set about the task of deconstructing what it means to be the Man of Steel. Snyder is a friend of Crave Online and a veteran of our Book Report podcast, and it’s always a pleasure to get a chance to talk to him – which we did at San Diego Comic-Con 2013.

Here’s my exclusive interview with Snyder & Lee, who may just be the real life Batman and Superman behind the scenes at DC (which I suppose makes Geoff Johns Wonder Woman). Hope you dig it.

Comic Channel Editor

Comics Editor Andy Hunsaker has written for Yahoo! Movies, Fancast, XfinityTV and UGO, among others, covering movies and television, and has loved comics ever since he read the giant-sized Marvel Treasury Edition of The Rampaging Hulk #26 four thousand times and grew to love guys with weird heads like M.O.D.O.K. and the Bi-Beast. Therefore, he will also defend Ang Lee's Hulk, although he understands why you don't like it and won't hold that against you.

As far as reviews go, he believes the main point of being a critic is not to pass yourself off as the final arbiter of quality passing holy judgment on a work of art, but rather just to share opinions so that the reader can decide whether or not the critic is someone whose tastes generally align with theirs. If so, that reviewer is one whose work you can trust if you're curious about a particular title. If not, cue loud, angry internet vitriol.
