When it came to writing "The New 52", George Pérez had plenty of problems because of the timeline that his book took place in. He had to write
Superman five-years ahead of Grant Morrison's
Action Comics which caused problems with the freedom he had on the book. During the recent "Superman Day" celebration, he spilled the beans.
The freedom he had on the book:
"I had no idea Grant Morrison was going to be working on another Superman title, I had no idea I was doing it five years ahead, which means, my story I couldn't do certain things without knowing what he did,"
The communication between Grant Morrison and himself:
"Grant wasn't telling everybody, so I was kind of stuck, who exists, DC couldn't give me answers. Oh my gosh, you're deciding all these things and you mean even you don't know what's going on in your books… so I became very frustrated."
Pérez has stated that he couldn't wait to "get off
Superman" after his six-issue run came to an end earlier this year.
Dan Jurgens and Keith Giffen are currently
Superman's creative team but it is rumored that Scott Lobdell will serve as writer on the book following DC's Zero Month.
