May 28, 2014: Kuder on a Fresh Start and Farewell for Superboy

Superboy #34 To a lot of readers "Superboy #31" felt like a new start for the book, only for them to find out soon after that issue #34 will be the final issue of the title come August. Newsarama.com caught up with new writer Aaron Kuder to find out what he has planned for the final few issues of "Superboy". Here's part of the interview...

    Newsarama: Aaron, this week's Superboy issue (#31) revealed that the image Jon is seeing of "the other Superboy" is "real," and that Kon is apparently "calling" to him. Am I reading that right - that you're confirming Kon still exists somehow???

    Aaron Kuder: So if you're asking if we can trust the mind of a known psychopath that has been thrown back and forth through time, someone who has been brainwashed since childhood and is now seeing/hearing voices, no I cannot confirm or deny.

    Nrama: We just found out that Superboy is ending with issue #34. Did you have that in mind as you wrote this final story that's beginning now???

    Kuder: This story, this journey, has been crafted for that end.

    Nrama: OK, then let's talk about Superboy #31, because to me, it almost feels like a #1 issue, as if Jon Lane Kent is getting a fresh start. Was that your goal with the issue?

    Kuder: I absolutely approached this as a first issue. There has been so much complexity to the history of this character that I felt the need to step back and reintroduce him. Plus, this is my first run as a writer on a series, so it's a bit of a new beginning for both Jon and I.
