"DC Comics has unveiled Jeff Lemire as the writer for its ongoing Superboy series. According to the publisher&amp;#039;s The Source blog, the Sweet Tooth cartoonist will script the book for artist Pier Gallo. &amp;quot;I am really excited to be taking over the adventures of Conner Kent/Superboy in a new monthly series,&amp;quot; said Lemire.  &amp;quot;The book will combine many of the classic touchstones of the Superboy mythos along with new supporting characters, new villains and new ideas, building a strong foundation that can support the &amp;#039;Boy of Steel&amp;#039; for years to come.&amp;quot; He added: &amp;quot;I really want to work with our amazing artist Pier Gallo to combine a classic storytelling feel with a thoroughly modern sensibility and explore what it would really be like to be a super powered teenager, in the heart of rural America.&amp;quot; The comic marks the character&amp;#039;s first ongoing title since 2002, when the property entered hiatus due to the legal battle between Warner Bros and the heirs of Superman co-creator Jerry Siegel. Superboy arrives in store later this year. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
