June 1, 2015: Heath Corson Talks About the New "Bizarro" Comic Book

Bizarro #1 Entertainment Weekly has published an interview with writer Heath Corson in which he talks about the upcoming new "Bizarro" title he's written with Gustavo Duarte doing the art.

    Can you talk a little about the Bizarro we'll see in this comic? Because he's very different from the Bizarro we've seen in stories before.

    [Laughs] Yes. This is the Bizarro who is an alien from another planet. Bizarro tells us that his planet loved him and were so excited by him, that they tied him to a rocket and wanted to share him with the universe. Now, mind you, that's Bizarro telling us that, so we have to take that with huge mountains of salt. But Bizarro's rockets putter out right above Earth, and he ends up falling into our atmosphere and crashing through a plane. And then as he crash lands, he looks up and watches Superman save the plane he just put in danger. And in his head, Bizarro says "oh, I'm that guy! I'm a hero!" So he puts on a cosplay costume and paints a logo on in the mirror, and he decides he's going to be like Superman. He's going to go out and do bad and fight for injustice. And of course, eventually Metropolis says, "we hate Bizarro." He's just a menace. So that's when jimmy Olsen gets the idea that he can take Bizarro on a road trip.

Read the complete interview at the EW website.

EW have also posted a number of new preview pages from "Bizarro #1".
