while I am not a huge fan of Dragotta, That is an incredibly dynamic page. He will certainly bring a level of creativity and style to his pages.
I checked the sources. And it is not that way. Bendis never restablished Superboy (Clark Kent) back. He erased Lucy Lane and make Lana lost her superwoman powers. But there was no Superboy in any issue.
(And I will not return to those issues again).
So it is possible than Williamson is the one who will restablishes Superboy.

I really like his work. That page feels alive.
My only worry (and this is on the editors and not the artists) is that Dragotta’s work doesn’t really fit with Jamal Campbell’s.
So it will be kind of weird to have them both on the book at the same time. But DC editors don’t normally care for artistic consistency. WW’s book is all over the place in terms of art styles for example.

They’re for Action 1050, Dragotta is doing the Williamson portion of the issue and then he’ll rotate on Superman with Campbell.

From Williamson’s newsletter here’s the Superman related bit:
SUPERMAN: Currently working on the beat sheets for Superman #4 and #5, and scripting #6. I know what happens in all 3 issues, now it’s just a matter of fleshing it out into tighter scripts. Writing the first 8 pages of #6 tomorrow. I’ll finish a tight plot for #4 and #5 by the end of the week, while I also wrap up the #6 script before next Monday. Then in December I’ll write #4. Maybe #5.
One of my goals for this Superman run was to do shorter A-plot “monster of the month” style arcs while building B, C and D subplots. So, the first three issues act as a sort of a “pilot” of the whole run, then issues #4 and #5 stand alone as a two-parter arc. Then #6 to #8 are an arc. Then #9 to #10 are an arc. It’s something I’m playing with but not going to be a RULE. I’ll probably mix it up depending on the story and pacing. And who knows what curveballs or new ideas come my way while we work.
I have a LOT of Superman stories planned, and it’s been a blast to tackle them in this shorter arc format. Allows me to showcase more of Superman’s rogues, his supporting cast and introduce some new elements to the mythology.
Back when I started on Flash I was known as one of the faster writers at DC Comics. (Trust me, all the puns were made.) But over the years I’ve slowed down a bit. Some of that comes from me being harder on myself, some of it is because my family grew, and I spend a lot of valuable time there. But to balance that all out, I plan stories out a lot more on large white boards in my office. By the time SUPERMAN #1 comes out in February, I’ll be fairly far ahead on scripts, which is a great feeling.
