After the end of Flashpoint, many were wondering what was coming next for artist Andy Kubert. Nothing was announced as far as work for him, but now we have our answer. DC’s The Source blog announced yesterday that he’ll be providing the art for the 5th and 6th issues of Action Comics with Grant Morrison, featuring guest stars the Legion of Super-Heroes (assumably the “Lost” portion of the team, otherwise I have no idea that will work) and perhaps an appearance by everyone’s favorite super-pet – Krypto!
From The Source:
“When Editor Matt Idelson asked if I would be interested and/or able to fit into my schedule two upcoming issues of Action Comics with Grant, I couldn’t say no,” said Kubert. “I don’t know of any other artist that would have. Drawing the latest incarnation of Superman and working with one of the best writers on the planet made it a very easy decision for me. And in this story, I get to do some VERY iconic stuff! I gotta admit, I’m a little nervous… Fun Fact for those keeping score: I had never drawn Superman in a comics interior for an entire issue. I had done inking over Dan Jurgens and Jerry Ordway for an issue each over their beautiful pencils way (and I mean WAY) back when but this is my first opportunity to pencil the Man of Steel interior pages for my very own!”
Rags Morales will be returning after this two issue set from Kubert, but it’s pretty damn exciting to see the former Batman team back together on another book.
