Oklahoma’s Sterling Gates joins James Robinson in War of the Supermen
WORD BALLOONS
Oklahoma-born comic-book writer Sterling Gates will take the reins of a major Superman project this summer, as he and James Robinson (“Starman”) steer the Man of Steel through the “War of the Supermen.” The first issue of “War of the Supermen,” issue 0, is DC Comics’ entry into Free Comic Book Day this spring, and will be available free of charge at comic book stores across the country May 1.
Gates also celebrates an anniversary issue with this week’s “Supergirl,” as the series reached its 50th issue. Gates has written “Supergirl” since issue No. 34.
“Supergirl 50 is a huge milestone issue, not only for the series but also for the character,” Gates said. “It
really delves into a lot of different facets of Supergirl’s life, ranging from what she means to the people of the DC Universe to what her relationship with her friends is like. At its core, it’s about Supergirl’s relationship with Lana Lang and what kind of destruction a friendship between a superhero and a regular person can cause.”
