Interview with Nicole Maines and Tom Taylor (art by Clayton Henry)

1. You're both writing Superman: Son of Kal-El #13, tell us in three words or less what we might expect with FOC just a few days away!
2. What has the collaboration process been like?
3. What made now the right time to bring Dreamer into the DCU?
4. I've seen a few unlettered and uncolored pages from issue #13 and it appears Jon and Dreamer are in a bit of a conflict, do these two superheroes get along or will there be a conflict between them?
5. Nicole, I'm curious were you a comics fan growing up, what were some titles on your pull list?
6. Eleven issues into Superman: Son of Kal-El, looking back is there anything you'd change or tweak?
7. There's a cliffhanger in Superman: Son of Kal El #10 that reveals Jay may not be trusted, with character reveals like this do you seed the story in earlier issues in subtle ways, or do you try to avoid hinting at these sorts of things?
8. Nicole, what can you tell us about the teased Dreamer project with Rye Hickman, is it an OGN or a series?
9. The full page splash by Jess Taylor featuring Galaxy and Dreamer was super fun, any chance we see a team up with these heroes?
