In a recent announcement at the New York Comic Con, DC is all set to enliven Action Comics in 2024 with a new exciting endeavor, the "Superman Superstars" initiative. For an entire year, starting from January through December 2024, DC will be coupling some of its most loved writers with its most talented artists to curate a series of dynamic mini-arcs.
Revealing more about the first two series under the new initiative, DC shared that Action Comics #1061 to #1063 will kickstart the initiative with 'I, Bizarro'. This series sees the recently-returned DC writer, Jason Aaron, collaborate with artist John Timms. Emphasizing the significance of this project, Aaron expressed his excitement, calling it one of the greatest honors of his career. He shared that he and the seasoned artist Timms are tirelessly working to present readers a Superman tale full of action and unexpected twists. This story is believed to be one of the most unusual Bizarro tales, intriguingly titled the worst Bizarro story, as humorously named by Bizarro himself.
Official images from the new titles under Action Comics #1061 have also been released, including sketches of the hero, Superman, and his counterpart, Bizarro. The artwork showcases stunning vivid colors and incredibly meticulous detail promising readers an immersive visual experience.
Following 'I, Bizarro', the line-up continues with the "House of Braniac" in April's Action Comics #1064. This second collaboration is between Joshua Williamson and artist Rafa Sandoval. The project is particularly intriguing as it will interweave with the primary Superman book, also authored by Williamson. He stated that the crossover will have monumental repercussions for not just Superman, but for the entire DC Universe. The promising narrative encompasses a thrilling journey involving Superman, Lex Luthor, Lobo, Supergirl, Super-Family against Braniac and a Czarnian army, creating the setting for an exciting rollercoaster ride for readers.
These two series are just a glimpse of what is in store for the coming year and the Superman Superstars initiative promises to be a thrilling adventure for all Superman fans. DC also hinted at the return of Elseworlds in 2024, creating a wave of anticipation among DC enthusiasts.
As the stage is set to unfold thrilling narratives, the Superman Superstars initiative appears set to revolutionize DC's panoramas. Throughout 2024, this initiative is bound to profoundly redefine how readers relate to Action Comics, making it a milestone in the Superman lore.
