Monday Trending Topics: Will Scott Snyder And Jim Lee Help Us Celebrate Superman's 75th Birthday?

There is certain to be ample commemoration of the 75th anniversary of comics' greatest icon next year, but this one in particular would be pretty cool: I've heard that there may be a brand new Superman monthly comic to come in 2013, called Man Of Steel, written by Scott Snyder and drawn by Jim Lee. It's planned for the middle of next year I understand, probably part of the DC Fifth Wave, and to give Jim Lee enough of a head start to give the book a successful constant artistic run as Justice League had in the beginning.

So that would time out just about right.  When will I be celebrating?  April 18.  Because although it's cover-dated June, according to Jack Liebowicz's testimony in DC v Bruns, the date Action Comics #1 hit the stands (in NYC, presumably) is April 18, 1938.

The 3D Star Wars Re-Releases Are Continuing With More Dates Announced 

I wouldn't have been surprised to hear that Lucasfilm were going to pull the plug on the endeavour, or that everything was going to be scaled down to home-entertainment releases. Apparently not, however, as both Attack of the Clones and Revenge of the Sith have now been put up on the calendar.
