Super January: Grant Morrison And Andy Kubert Reveal Superman's New Origin?

Published Mon, 17 Oct 2011 11:30:58 -0500

One of the things I like about the new Action Comics is the specific reference to some of the key iconography of the earliest days of the original series, mixed in there with the new themes. So the cover and solicit blurb for Action Comics #5 has my interest — are they about to dive into some new details on the Strange Visitor From Another Planet part?
