First came Grant Morrison and Rags Morales (and friends to fill-in, to be fair). Then supposedly came Andy Diggle and Tony Daniel, but Diggle walked and Daniel’s stay turned out to be brief as he was working on the aptly titled Superman/Wonder Woman book. Scott Lobdell took over with Tyler Kirkham, and everyone was generally confused what was going to be going on with this book which seemingly did not have any interest in holding a singular creative team.
Well, now we know: your single creative team is coming, and you will like it.
Starting in November (assumedly to allow Lobdell a month post-Villain Month to wrap up whatever he has going on), “Action Comics” will be taken over by Greg Pak (“Batman/Superman”) and Aaron Kuder (“Superman” #20, the best issue of “Superman” in a while), two creators who are the best there is at what they do — and what they do is pretty super.
Pak, who is already writing DC’s new team-up book “Batman/Superman” that debuts this week, spoke with USA Today and promised that it will be a big action-y book with lots of emotional resonance, because “in order for me to care and you to care, whatever Superman is going through has to resonate on that emotional level,” Pak states. Not only that, but Kuder will be writing/drawing a “Parasite” one-shot for Villain Month, which will assumedly somewhat potentially tie into all of this as well.
There’s no further word on the subject in the article as it is mostly about “Batman/Superman” and its release this week, but be on the lookout for this book in November. That Kuder and Pak team is so hot right now.
