The Mr Oz And Superboy Covers From Upcoming Issues Of Action Comics #989 And #990

Three new covers for upcoming issues of Action Comics have been revealed. And, s has been the case of late, they are spoilery as all hell. The first from Action Comics #989 by Neil Edwards and Jay Leisten features the now-revealed Mister Oz doing some renovation tobthe signage atop the Daily Planet building in Metropolis.

And yes, yes, it's obviously meant to be Jor-El as the revealed Mister Oz, unless you still buy into some cockamamie theory from Bleeding Cool that is in the Kryptonian super-criminal Roz-Em who received facial surgery to resemble Jor-El's twin brother and who has posed as Jor-El in the past, somehow tied in with the garb and background of the technomage Amos Amoswell who freed him. But you know Bleeding Cool, they'll say anything.

Because there is another conspiracy theory growing about the identity of Mister Oz that is not Osymandias, Jor-El or Roz-Em, and a little evidence that may support it. Needs a bit more research but I'll try and present it today.

But is it relevant to the following covers of Action Comics #990, the first by Nick Bradshaw and the second by Neil Edwards and Jay Leisten again.

As Super Son JHonathan Kent meets his grandpappy Jor-El. Or does he? Sorry, sorry, I can't help myself. Just keep watching those indicias…

I'll get on that theory…
