"A new era of DC Comics begins as the longest-running monthly comic of
all time releases its first issue #1 since 1938.
"This September, New York Times bestselling writer Grant Morrison
(ALL-STAR SUPERMAN) joins with sensational artist Rags Morales to bring
you tales of The Man of Tomorrow unlike any you’ve ever read before in
ACTION COMICS #1. This momentous first issue will set in motion the
history of the DC Universe as Superman defends a world that doesn’t
trust their first Super Hero.
"The first Action Comics #1 is now the most sought-after comic book of
all time. This September, one of comics’ most imaginative storytellers
will make history again in Grant Morrison and Rags Morales’ ACTION
COMICS #1.
"Superman #1: The Man of Tomorrow, Today

friends, loved ones and his job at The Daily Planet? Find out in
SUPERMAN #1, written by legendary comics creator George Perez (CRISIS ON
INFINITE EARTHS, NEW TEEN TITANS and WONDER WOMAN) and illustrated by
Jesus Merino.
"Supergirl #1 and Superboy #1: The New Superman Family
Supergirl’s got the unpredictable behavior of a teenager, the same
powers as Superman and none of his affection for the people of Earth.
Writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson (Smallville,
SUPERMAN/BATMAN) will team up with artist Mahmud Asrar to give a new
take on the teenager from Krypton in SUPERGIRL #1.
"They thought he was just a failed experiment, grown from a
combination of Kryptonian and human DNA. But when the scope of his
stunning powers was revealed, he became a deadly weapon. SUPERBOY #1
will be written by Scott Lobdell with art by R.B. Silva and Rob Lean.
