The jockeying for comic book news supremacy during New York Comic Con has started a day early.
DC Comics just officially announced that writer Andy Diggle and artist Tony Daniel are the new post-Morrison creative team on Action Comics, beginning with March’s issue #18.
And judging by this Daniel promo art, you may have noticed Superman might also get a new suit, although DC isn’t talking about that yet.
“I’ve always had a positive experience working with DC Comics, and it’s amazing to be welcomed back into the fold in such fine style,” Diggle told DC’s official blog The Source. “Even in an industry dominated by superheroes, Superman is THE superhero – the original and best - and I’m flattered, daunted and inspired in equal measure at being given the opportunity to build on such an incredible and historic legacy.
“The word ‘iconic’ is bandied around a lot in comics, but Superman defines the term. I’m excited to be working with Tony Daniel, whose artistic and storytelling skills will be bringing the world(s) of Superman to stunning visual life. Together we’ll be carving out spectacular new adventures that respect the past while redefining the future of the Man of Steel.”
“I look forward to drawing each and every character in Superman's universe,” added Daniel. “I anticipate this being a fun ride for me and hopefully for Superman fans as well. I can't wait to get Andy's first script and sharpening my pencils.”
