Or was this your idea? Because when we spoke after the "Steel" one-shot was announced, you told us about a very different storyline. Well, let's face it, you pretty much lied to me.</b><br /><br />Lyons: Yeah, sorry about that! What I told you was true at the time, though. I'd delivered a script featuring Metallo, it had been accepted and Sean Chen had begun to draw it. It had even been solicited. It was very late in the day that "Steel" #1 became a part of "Reign of Doomsday," which meant we had to scrap the issue we were working on and start over.<br /><br />To be fair to the Powers That Decide These Things, I guess "Reign" was conceived as a summer event until someone realized that the "Steel" special, a few months earlier, was the perfect book to launch it in. And it meant I got my second DC commission, which was great for me, even if I might never get to see the first one in print, now. <br /><br />this'll basically be Doomsday plowing through the various books, punk out and kidnap each Supercharacter, and have them all collected to lure out Superman for the final battle. being a Superman Family junkie, i'm all about it.<br /><br />can't say it'll be any good but it'll feature some of my fave characters.Ian from Westfieldsnoreply@blogger.com
