During the same interview where DC Comics Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras and Editorial Director Bobbie Chase revealed six upcoming cancellations of New 52 titles, including The Fury of Firestorm the Nuclear Man, the pair also revealed a number of creative changes coming down the pike in May.As previously reported, Deathstroke and Team 7 writer Justin Jordan will take on Superboy going forward, while Sword of Sorcery writer Christy Marx is headed over to Birds of Prey. Michael Alan Nelson will also move from a cancelled title (Ravagers) to a fairly safe one (for the moment anyway) in Supergirl.”Mike Johnson, with his nineteen issues, is a great guy and it was a great run,” Harras told CBR of the outgoing Supergirl scribe. “And again, we fully expect to work with him on another project. This is not an absolute end; Mike opted to move on to something new at this point, and we hope to work with him again on something else.”With series artist Mahmud Asrar heading to Ultimate Comics X-Men, May’s #20 will signal a very different look and feel for the series. While Harras and Chase didn’t say anything about who might be drawing the title, current Archer & Armstrong artist Emanuela Lupacchino is doing the cover for #20. ComicBook.com has reached out to Lupacchino to see if she’s taking on the art duties.
