No Wonder Woman solicit...? This is looking worse and worse.

How come Freddy has to go through all these "trials" to become Captain Marvel when all Billy needed to do was to have some hobo in a subway give him his powers?

Absolute Sandman Vol 1? I'm so there.

Richard Donner writes Action Comics

July 17, 2006 - This fall, Superman's greatest ally and greatest enemy return. Richard Donner, the man who brought Superman to film, waited 25 years for his next team up with the Man of Steel. Donner returns to the character, writing Superman's adventures in Action Comics. Donner's former assistant and best-selling comic writer Geoff Johns (Infinite Crisis) will co-write the series.



Together, Donner and Johns pit Superman against an all-new General Zod. For his first comic book work, Donner will introduce the new General Zod into the DC universe, teamed with Ursa and Non, best recognized as villains from Donner's Superman films. Lex Luthor will also play a central role, just not in the way you'd expect.

This is Donner's first visit to Superman since being fired from production of Superman II. Creative and budgetary disputes led to producers firing Donner even though much of the movie was already filmed. Before filming this year's Superman Returns, director Bryan Singer sought Donner's approval for the updated picture, which references the first two movies.

Donner's first six-issue arc begins with October's Action Comics #844, drawn by superstar artist Adam Kubert (Ultimate X-Men) as his first regular work since signing an exclusive with DC Comics.

General Zod first appeared in Adventure Comics #283 in 1961 after escaping the Phantom Zone, a prison for criminals on Superman's home planet of Krypton. He and other criminals escaped to plague Superman. After DC rewrote its history so Superman would be the only survivor from Krypton, General Zod was deleted from continuity. Various versions have appeared, including the most recent in Brian Azzarello "For Tomorrow" storyline. Donner's version is completely new. Zod, Ursa and Non will likely not be the only Kryptonian criminals escaping the Phantom Zone.

Donner started directing in the 1950s, working on popular television shows including the Fugitive, Six Million Dollar Man and the Twilight Zone. His 1976 film, the Omen, began his film career later directing and producing hits such as the Lethal Weapon series and Goonies.

DC is expected to officially announce Donner's role with Action Comics at the San Diego Comic-Con later this week.

Byrne's off All-New Atom by issue number 4? I had read that he had finished art up through number 6 somewhere. That really blows.

 

[TheCorpulent1]

The Donner stuff sounds kind of lame. A new Zod? Goodie, another one to make the character even more confusing. It sounds like he's basically just taking the Superman II story and putting it in comic form. We all know how much Donner's Lex Luthor sucks, too. Not really too exciting, to be honest.

Adam Kubert's about the only really good thing in that bit of news.

 

[OA blaster]

i didn't follow the first ZOD, so i don't think i'm going to miss much with the new one

HOLY CRAP!

This makes no f-ing sense.
It was on the site just a few hours ago, now it's gone.
If you look at their preview for october, it say check Previews for info on Action Comics.
If you check the DC Comics website, there is no Action Comics listed.
I'm not making this up.

THE OTHER SIDE #1
Written by Jason Aaron
Art and cover by Cameron Stewart
1968. The height of the Vietnam War. Two young men from opposite ends of the earth must drag themselves through Hell for the opportunity to kill one another.
Written by rookie sensation Jason Aaron with astoundingly visceral art by Cameron Stewart (SEAGUY, SEVEN SOLDIERS: GUARDIAN), THE OTHER SIDE is a 5-issue miniseries following Bill Everette, a 19-year-old Alabama farm boy drafted into the Marine Corps whose only goal is to come home alive, and Vo Binh Dai, a 19-year-old Vietnamese farm boy who enlists in the People’s Army of Vietnam, terrified only of failing in his duty to die bravely for his country.
Along the way, Private Everette encounters demonically vicious Parris Island drill instructors, talking maggots, voiceless ghosts, jaded grunts, man-eating pigs, maniacal rats, leeches that quote William Blake, a rifle that begs him to shoot himself and occasionally even the enemy. Vo Dai must undertake the long march south down the Strategic Trail, through black forests and bloody swamps, over pockmarked earth and fields of fire, past tigers and dragons and mounds of the dead, past exhaustion, beyond endurance. At turns, wholly fantastic yet always heartbreakingly realistic.
THE OTHER SIDE is an epic tragedy about America’s most haunting war. A surreal exploration of the Vietnam war from opposing viewpoints. A horror story about the horrors of war.
On sale October 4 • 1 of 5 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • MATURE READERS
