Grant Morrison continues to excite the Superman mythos with Action Comics. DC Comics revealed the cover to issue #11 by Rags Morales that reflects the solicitation for the story:
“Superman’s new secret identity revealed! Lois Lane continues her investigation into the mystery of Earth’s first Superman! Plus, in the backup story: We know where Superman got his armor costume, but where did he get all those “S” T-shirts?”
This months is the start the Batman family crossover Night of the Owls. I hope DC may be plotting a crossover with the Superman family of books – maybe a way to introduce some Kryptonian foes into the New 52?
A black Superman from an alternate reality will battle a new villain called Superdoom. Grant Morrison tells three tales in Action Comics #9 setting up the new multiverse of DC Comics The New 52. The Source revealed the cover and Gene Ha interior preview art.
The solicitation stated one of the stories starred President Superman. The art sure looks like this hero operates out of the White House. It’s not confirmed if this is the black President of the United States featured in Morrison’s Final Crisis.
