NYCC 2023 has been red hot with news, like DC’s Elseworlds stories coming in 2024, and today, we’ve got Superman news from the Metropolis All-Stars panel. At the panel, it was revealed Jason Aaron, who recently returned to DC Comics, will be writing the “I, Bizarro” story arc on Action Comics. Running through issues #1061-1063, it’s part of the “Superman Superstars” initiative taking place in 2024. From January through December, DC will pair celebrated writers and artists for can’t-miss Superman stories in one of DC’s flagship titles, and both Aaron and Williamson were eager to share and tease what they have in store.
Our Own Lukas Shayo was reporting from the panel and snagged this image of the Brainiac Queen (design by Dan Mora):
“I’ve been writing comics for almost 20 years, and I’ve certainly enjoyed my share of special moments and exciting projects along the way, but getting to write Superman for the very first time, in the pages of Action Comics no less, the one that started it all, goes down as one of the absolute most significant honors of my career,” said Aaron. “So the amazing John Timms and I are doing our very best to give readers a Superman tale full of action and surprises, the most Bizarro of all Bizarro stories, in what Bizarro himself would call the worst Bizarro story ever told’!”
Then, in April, Joshua Williamson and Rafa Sandoval take over Action Comics with #1064-1066 to bring Brainiac back to the DC Universe in a big way, crossing over into Williamson’s Superman series.
“We’ve been building to Brainiac’s epic return since Superman #1 and the start of Dawn of DC,” said Williamson. “This crossover will have massive ramifications not just for Superman but across all of the DC Universe. Plus, it’s a fun roller coaster ride with Superman, Lex Luthor, Lobo, Supergirl, and the Super-Family up against Brainiac and a Czarnian army. It’s going to be full of surprises, new ideas, and the same kind of tone that we’re presenting in the Superman series. I’m pumped to be working with Rafa again, and the pages have been bonkers. It’s everything I love about Superman and his mythology but turned up to 11.”
