But it's kind of interesting how Canadians have played a big part in Superboy's life so far. Just a side note.my past work is obviously very Canadian. It pretty much mirrors the opening pages of Tales From The Farm, with the young character of Lester dreaming of flying away and leaving his troubles behind. (If you're interested I suggest picking up THE PHANTOM STRANGER showcase editions.they too will hold clues to coming events!)Īstute readers of my past work will also notice an 'homage' of sorts to Essex County in the first issues opening sequence.

What you see in the first two issues will only be the tip of the iceberg.

And Smallville's dark side will be slowly creeping to the surface, making Kon-el's attempts at a 'normal life' harder and harder to achieve. Seems like an odd fit? Well Smallville really is the ideal American small town. It also has THE PHANTOM STRANGER! one of my favorite comic book characters. I don't want to say too much about it yet, but the first issue has some pretty good clues and teases. Most of the run will be only 1 or 2 part arcs that add up to a bigger, badder story I'm weaving in that will culminate around Issue 12 or 13. A Big story made up of a lot of smaller stories. And, I have the first fifteen issues plotted out. So let me tell you a bit about what I have planned for Conner Kent and Smallville.Īs of typing this I have six full scripts done with a seventh in the outline stage. Pier Gallo and I have already been working on the book for the better part of 2010. Superboy #1 is out today! It feels like a long time coming.
