How Dark Crisis Slips Between Action Comics 1049 & 1050

Justice League #75, published in the spring,  saw the death of the Justice League, including Clark Kent, Superman, and the beginning of the Dark Crisis On Infinite Earths. But he was still alive in his own comic book, Action Comics, fighting on another world. So how does this fit together?

It was intimated in solicitations, Bleeding Cool got the official word from sources for those of you who care about such. The entirety of Dark Crisis will be placed between this months's Action Comics #1049 and Action Comics #1050 in Superman's personal timeline. And that you will actually see his extraction for the Justice League #75 at the end of Superman: Kal-El Returns the week after #1049. Just so that you can join everything together.
