Cannot wait for this. Paul Cornell geting to actually write Superman! He's kicked ass with Lex, time for the main event.

Paul Cornell > Comic writers who are not Paul Cornell

[Maestro Hulk]

Paul Cornell is by far the best writer at DC. Action Comics #900 is going to be awesome. I've never been a big Doomsday fan, but I'm sure Paul Cornell and Pete Woods will pull this off. That cover to Action Comics #902 looks great.

I can't wait to read Superman stories written by Paul Cornell!! I've absolutely loved what he's done with Lex...very excited!!

[Philosophía]

I completly disagree with Paul Cornell's opinion on Superman, baring a few sentences, and it's quite heart-wrenching.

[Free-Man]

Unlike the other Reign of Doomsday books, I have a feeling this might be good since Cornell can have it spread out over three issues.

[Scott Mateo]

It's almost as if the whole Doomsday story needs to be retold and Supergirl and Luthor's New Earth roles need to be defined if Luthor was never in a cloned body masquerading as his son and Supergirl wasn't Matrix or his sex toy. And Eradicator hasn't really said two words in OUTSIDERS. Is he the same entity and whose body is it inhabiting now?

Same here. I've liked what Cornell has been doing so far, but it looks like we'll be seeing the return of Byrne-Man again. (shudders)

Not a single mention of who's drawing this epic (or did I overlook it)? The preview art appears to be by Kenneth Roquefort, but is he only drawing covers, or is he doing the interior art as well?

[Mr. Holmes]

He's doing the interior art as well.

[Steve Broome]

Very good writer, I'll be checking this out.

[Lou7]

Very much looking forward to Paul Cornell's take on Doomsday & Superman.
But I think that we've seen Lex & Doomsday in the same panel, in the New Krypton storyline...I could be mistaken

I really, really don`t think it`s the case. Take a look at "Captain Britain and MI:13"; I really think that`s sort of how Cornell will approach Superman. And I hope I`m right in this matter, because it was awesome.

I actually find it funny how Cornell is sort of the "winning underdog" in this whole superman thing. A while ago everybody was paying attention to JMS´arrival to Superman, and the Lex`s Action comics would be originally written by Marc Guggenheim...

The JMS thing ended almost before it started, Cornell was a last minute choice, and now he is sort of the "big thing" to happen to Superman. Nice.

The current Eradicator is not the same entity as the previous one. The current Eradicator has stated that he was created by the citizens of New Krypton but also possesses all of the memories of the old one.

so...whats he doing after 'Action Comics'?
