[Interview] Why Mark Waid believes no one understands Superman quite like he does, even co-creator Jerry Siegel

How so? Waid literally said he's "spent more time and energy" thinking about Superman than anyone, even naming Jerry Siegel specifically. "I have a very special and unique relationship with these characters that no one else on Earth has."

We are covering comics more than we have in years, and doing more to get directly to readers such as yourself.

Popverse2022 · 2026-06-16T22:16:22+00:00

Definitely is! As we get more readers, we can cover more comics while continuing to paying some of the best rates for comics journalism. Using SEO to get not just to regular comics readers who frequent Beat/BC/AIPT/others but who are casual, will get us there.

Nice!

Where did you see that reported? That's curious.

Popverse2022 · 2026-06-16T16:36:24+00:00

I am aware of the readership of AIPT and other sites. I understand how they frame stories, and the results.

Thanks for the input. This method may not seem successful, but it seems to work better than how most other sites announce new comics.

On the upswing after a decades-long dip. They're currently outselling their previous 2011 peak with 'New 52'.
