  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.
