Previously, with Bendis taking over Action Comics, relaunching Superman from #1 and starting with an accelerated six-issue mini-series called Man of Steel, the comparison was to John Byrne.

With this poster, whatever it will look like, the association is with Jack Kirby.

Not the first time DC Comics have done that of course… or with Superman, when a creator associated with Marvel has made the move.
