The Man of Steel goes to Zero Year in Action Comics #25 from DC Comics. This Batman Zero Year tie-in is by new creative team Greg Pak (Batman/Superman) and artist Aaron Kuder.
In this issue, a young, impetuous Clark Kent has only just started his life as Superman, and his understanding of his powers isn’t yet fully realized. So when he sees a storm is about to hit Gotham City, he’ll take it upon himself to try to stop it – but is he capable of doing so yet?
“We’re going to see a young, cocky Superman testing his limits by taking on what might be the most powerful opponent he could ever find. In short, for the first time, Clark begins to think he might be an actual force of nature. We’ll see if he’s right,” Pak told Comic Book Resources about the issue. “I also loved the idea of launching my ACTION run with a story set in the past. It’s a great way to start the character at the beginning and lay out some of the big themes we’re thinking about in a big way. And the nice capper is that Scott Snyder’s one of my favorite people in comics and I was thrilled by the chance to come over and play in his backyard.”
Action Comics #25 will also serve as the return of fan-favorite character, Lana Lang, who’ll become an integral part of the series moving forward. In a back-up story by Pak and with art by Scott McDaniel and Aaron Kuder, the seeds for issue #26 and this series’ new arc are planted.
