When writer Brian Michael Bendis makes his DC debut in the landmark Action Comics #1000, he’ll be joined by DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee, who will illustrate the Superman story. Friday evening, fans got their first look at two of Lee’s pages, featuring the Man of Steel taking a brutal blow from an unseen adversary.
The prolific artist tweeted, “Sneak peek time–ladies & gentlemen–at my 12 page story with @BRIANMBENDIS for ACTION issue 1000! Just typing that out gave me GOOSEBUMPS.” Regarding Bendis’ story, Lee clarified that it isn’t “a one-off but a story that sets up his upcoming run on Action & Superman!”
