DC Spoils Next Week's Superman Annual In Today's Action Comics #1100

DC Comics spoils next week's Superman Annual plot and cliffhanger in today's Action Comics #1100... (Spoilers)

Action Comics #1100 by Mark Waid, Joshua Williamson, Sophie Campbell, Dan Slott, Skylar Patridge, Ryan Sook, and Dan Mora is published today by DC Comics. While the Superman Annual: Year One Thousand by Joshua Williamson, Eddy Barrows and Yasmine Putri is published next week. The latter shows where Superman has been missing since the events of K.O. The former… shows what happens to him after that. And resolved next week's cliffhanger, telling us "Superman's godlike powers are fading fast, and he may become lost at the end of time!" Well, as a result of today's Action Comics #1100, we know he won't be. Which sounds like a bad publishing decision, but hey, it is all about time travel, so why not?

There he is, see, at the end of everything after the events of next week's Superman Annual: Year One Thousand… including the word that he'll be growing a superbeard… as the past cast of Action Comics get caught up on all that happened with Superman before.

So, taking a trip through the time stream with the young Clark Kent, Superboy, to find his future self…

It works. The past self saves his future self and they can just deal with the timeline later, right? This is getting rather Brian Bendis X-Men all of a sudden, isn't it?

And Superman has time to thank Booster Gold as well, who was partially responsible for the whole Darkseid thing… and Superman is happy to recap next week's exposition.

Next week's plot and cliffhanger are resolved! Which should, if nothing else, help reduce the general levels of stress and uncertainty in the universe. Oh, and you know that Silent Knight thing we talked about a few weeks ago? That's here too, with the young Clark Kent under the armour…

Action Comics #1100 by Mark Waid, Joshua Williamson, Sophie Campbell, Dan Slott, Skylar Patridge, Ryan Sook, Dan Mora is published today and the Superman Annual: Year One Thousand by Joshua Williamson, Eddy Barrows and Yasmine Putri, which should really be read first, is out next Wednesday.
