Fans are seeing major changes in The Man of Steel with the new storyline Truth. DC Comics revealed big news and big new projects starring Superman at San Diego Comic-Con.
The legendary Neal Adams kicked off the Man of Steel panel announcing his plans for COMING OF THE SUPERMEN. This six-issue limited series will be in the spirit of his BATMAN: ODYSSEY miniseries.
“This story pits Superman against the evil Darkseid and his son, brutal Kalibak. But this time he has help from an unlikely place: Three national heroes from the city of Kandor (now known as New Krypton) who see Superman as a legend. Even Superman’s arch-enemy Lex Luthor is forced to ally himself with these heroes to prevent Darkseid from laying waste to the universe.”
Hollywood screenwriter and Eisner-nominee Max Landis (CHRONICLE) announced SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN. This will be a seven part collection of stories from the life of Clark Kent. “Ranging from heartwarming and simple to gritty and two-fisted and even humorous, each story captures a pivotal moment in Clark’s development into the archetypical hero he’s become.”
Landis will be joined by seven fan-favorite artists:
Ryan Sook will provide the cover art, with artists JOCK, Nick Dragotta, Tommy Lee Edwards, Joelle Jones, Jae Lee, Francis Manapul and Jonathan Case providing interior art.
COMING OF THE SUPERMEN and SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN begin in November.
New SUPERMAN writer Gene Yang and ACTION COMICS co-writer Greg Pak gave fans an update on the “TRUTH” arc and a look into the next. In “JUSTICE” a newly de-powered Superman continues to deal with the consequences of his now public secret identity and a Metropolis police department making things increasingly difficult for folks in his neighborhood.
