Our friend DC Comics artist CHRISTOPHER JONES returns for a wide-ranging comic book conversation that starts with the strange logic of superhero storytelling and eventually circles back to one of our favorite recent topics: SUPERMAN (2025). Along the way we get into awkward sidekick tropes, why all-ages comics still matter, and what makes Superman’s moral core so enduring.

ALSO: LANTERNS, THE BATMAN PART II, SPIDER-MAN, FANTASTIC FOUR, and the broader challenge of making comic book worlds feel emotionally grounded without sanding off everything that makes them weird.
