July 24, 2012: Tom DeFalco Talks "Superboy"

Superboy #0 Newsarama.com sat down with Tom DeFalco to see what his plans are for "Superboy" now that he's taking over as the writer of the monthly comic book title. Here's a portion of the interview...

    Q: With Superboy #0, you get the chance to reveal a few mysteries. What can you tell us about what readers are going to see?

    DeFalco: In Superboy, we've never actually witnessed his origin, from issue #1 on. Scott Lobdell and R.B. did a terrific job just getting us right into Superboy's mind and Superboy's world right away.

    Since then, we've discovered that there was a mastermind behind all of this construction, the character we've come to know as Harvest. Some of the things we've seen, there was a subtext to it that we were unaware of, because Harvest is always scheming within schemes.

    So we're going to find out some of the subtext and some of Harvest's plans for Superboy in issue #0, because up until now, we haven't known the details.

    Up until now, we knew that Superboy was created to be a living weapon, but we didn't know what the weapon was for.

    We're also going to, in the course of this, discover a story of ancient Krypton and how that relates to Superboy, and relates to something a character told him in one of his early issues, which up until now we haven't understood. Now we're going to find out what that character was talking about.

    Q: Can you say what character it is?

    DeFalco: No, and I didn't say the name of the character for a reason, because all of this is going to come back and play havoc in Superboy's life going forward.
