According to an interview conducted by <b><a href="http://www.super-homem.com">The Metropolis SITE</a></b>, Aluir Almancio is working on the final edition of <b>Superman Adventures</b>, rumored to be cancelled with Febuary's issue #66. Here is an excerpt from the interview:
<b>Q: There are rumors that Superman Adventures will be cancelled due to low sales, is this true?</b>
<i>Aluir</i>: In a couple of weeks, I will start to draw the last edition of Superman Adventures. The show already was cancelled a few years ago and currently it was taken off of air. The cancellation of the book would be only one natural result. I do not know to the certainty what the DC plans for the title, but there is at least one 22-page story that will be printed after the cancellation of Superman Adventures. How? I still do not know...
<b>Q: Warner Brothers is developing an animated Justice League series that will be released in November, with a comic book based on this series. As you are one of the best artists doing Animated comics, is there a chance for you to work on this title?</b>
<i>Aluir</i>: I am doing all possible so that this does not happen, but is probable. I already produced storyboards for Justice League recently and you can believe it's so much work... too many characters! With relation to the title, everything depends on the quality of the scripts and the affinity with the new Editor of the title. I do not intend to work regularly on a book with so many characters. Joey Cavalieri (Editor of Superman Adventures) facilitates things for me very much and has already offered regular work to me in another title.
<b>Justice League Adventures</b> editor <b>Dan Raspler</b> said that he plans to use artists from DC's animated books to do one issue story arcs for the title. It is likely he will include Almancio for the series. That's also where one of his <b>Superman Adventures</b> stories will likely end.
We'll have more soon!
