Writer Geoff Johns talked to Comic Book Resources about the upcoming “New Krypton” crossover that will work its way through “Action Comics,” “Superman” and “Supergirl” this fall. Johns had effusive praise for University of Oklahoma graduate Sterling Gates, the new writer of “Supergirl.”
“Sterling’s first issue of ‘Supergirl’ is the best issue of ‘Supergirl’ I have ever read. I think he’s got a great take on the character and a great energy for the character,” said Johns. “James and I really believe in him. [Editors] Matt [Idelson] and Nachie [Castro] really believe in him and [artist] Jamal Igle is turning in some amazing pages on that book. ‘Supergirl’ is going to be a book to watch.”
Gates was born and raised in Tulsa and graduated from OU in 2005.
