Paul Cornell on Action Comics

Here is a great interview with comic book writer Paul Cornell....here he talks about Lex Luthor, Superman's return and what he'd like to see with Legos...

Here is some of that interview,

"The use of an android Lois Lane was the idea of one of my editors. I think it might have been Wil Moss. But she works so well because Lex isn't going to trust anybody he didn't build. And it just happened to be Superman's wife, accidentally, without Lex actually knowing that. I think it says a lot about his unconscious processing, because he certainly doesn't know.
I really like the fact that she's a very sassy Lois. You know, she's a really punchy Margot Kidder Lois. That's an aspect of the real Lois Lane that is maybe turned down too much these days. I think people seeing her like that."

 "Issue #900 is really the climax of this story, but in a Jim Steinman way. It keeps on going up into another level into #901. So we finish one story and kind of start another act in the same issue, in #900."

"I can hear millions of fans who've popped up on message boards saying, "No!! We want Superman back!!" Because they have been saying that fairly consistently.
So no, I don't think there was a moment's hesitation in finishing this arc and bringing him back."

Paul Cornell has done some great stuff with Lex for sure...now lets just hope he can take all that creativity and put it towards Supes...
