March 1, 2011: Eddie Berganza Talks "Reign of Doomsday"

Outsiders #37 ComicBookResources.com has published an interview with Eddie Berganza, Executive Editor at DC Comics, and asked him about the continuation of the "Reign of Doomsday" story. Here's a portion of the interview...

    In that sense, what is Superman's role at DC in 2011 once he's back full time? We see things from "Flashpoint" with Cyborg taking his place. Can the Man of Steel fit back into the big plans?

    Well, that's the big tease, isn't it? Don't worry. There'll be a point for it all to come together. We're not getting rid of the Kryptonians in "Flashpoint." And for Superman, when he comes back he's not a happy guy. Think of it this way: all your friends have been taken down and the guy that killed you is back. We're not making it easy on him moving forward.

    You're helping put these books together after the story was kicked to you from "Steel" and "Outsiders" and next it'll go over to "Superboy" and finally "Action." Where along that relay can we expect to learn more about what Doomsday's plan is and who's behind these attacks?

    In a way, it all comes together in "Action" #900 where you're going to have to ask yourself whether Superman will survive. But this is all just beginning. I talked to Dan Jurgens when he was doing the variant cover for me, and he pointed out how Doomsday started out battling the Justice League, not in the Superman titles. He had Booster and Beetle and all those guys face Doomsday before Superman did, and we're playing with that idea here too.
