Action Comics #9 features parallel Earth Superman

[superfangirl1]

With ACTION COMICS #9, two acclaimed guest artists will explore an alternate Earth and the story of its Kryptonian protector. Multiple Eisner Award-winning artist Gene Ha will be a guest artist for the primary plot, penned by regular series writer Grant Morrison. And fresh from his recent work on THE SHADE miniseries, artist Cully Hamner will illustrate the issue’s back-up story, written by Sholly Fisch.

Parallel worlds come to the forefront of DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 “Second Wave,” with titles such as EARTH 2 and WORLDS’ FINEST exploring the adventures of heroes on alternate Earths. ACTION COMICS #9 sets up the multiverse with a standalone story of a Superman from another Earth, who must fight a monster from yet another parallel world. But this isn’t just any monster; it’s a Superman surrogate known as Superdoom, twisted into an unstoppable agent of evil.

The back-up story will also feature an adventure of this alternate Superman, set on his parallel Earth.

Regular series artist Rags Morales will return for ACTION COMICS #10 in June. In the meantime, check out Ha’s inks for ACTION COMICS #9.

From what I understand, both stories will feature this Superman, the difference is that Gene Ha is drawing the main story and Cully Hamner is drawing the back-up.

And I would suggest picking up the rest of the run. Part of me's kinda sad that we've seemed to have moved away from the more de-powered, T-shirt & jeans, champion of the oppressed Superman and focusing more on the crazy multiversal stuff, but Morrison writing Superman is still a wonderful thing, no matter what. :D

Morrison must get bored easily
