DC Comics To Publish A Superman Grounded Fill-In Issue

Bleeding Cool has reported problems with the current schedule of the Superman book, following writer Joe Michael Straczynski's health issues. And while Superman #703 will ship a month late, they seem to be doing their best to get things back on track.

Superman #704 was initially solicited as;

Written by J. MICHAEL STRACZYNSKI
Art by EDDY BARROWS & J.P. MAYER
Cover by JOHN CASSADAY
1:10 Variant cover by GEOF DARROW
J. Michael Straczynski's "Grounded" storyline, which has made headlines in USA TODAY, THE NEW YORK TIMES and ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY, continues right here as Superman visits the Chicago area! In this issue, Superman discovers that there is a darkness even more immense than outer space: the darkness of the human heart turned against itself.
Retailers please note: This issue will ship with two covers. Please see the Previews Order Form for more information.

But new information has just been released with a new creative team for the issue, describing it as an "interlude"

DC Comics To Publish A Superman Grounded Fill-In IssueWriter G. Willow Wilson (AIR) and newcomer Leandro Oliveira provide a "Grounded" interlude in October's SUPERMAN #704, detailing a visit Lois Lane makes to the town where she went to college in anticipation of Superman's arrival.

When she runs into an old boyfriend and sees the nice, normal family he has, Lois is can't help but examine the choices she made and wonder if they were the correct ones.

Not only does the issue feature another instant classic John Cassaday cover, but will also sport a variant by artist Gene Ha. You can see the Cassaday image below.

The expectation is that the original #704 will now become #705. And so on ad infinitum.
