Jim Lee is one of the many comic book icons contributing to DC's Action Comics #1000, and the well-known artist has just released a sneak peek at his work for the landmark issue.

Lee is teaming up with longtime Marvel writer Brian Michael Bendis, whose contributions to Action Comics #1000 will spark DC's new Superman run. 

Take a look at Lee's drawings for the story's first two pages below:





From the looks of it, the Man of Steel isn't going to be having a ton of fun in his special issue.

This will be Bendis' first work for DC Comics, and based on the fact that the story opens with Superman crashing into the Earth, the man knows how to make an introduction.

Jim Lee also released a six-and-a-half hour video of him working on the pages. Check it out below, but maybe make a snack first.

Almost all Superman related books (Superman, Action Comics, Supersons) have been great so far in Rebirth, this being Bendis's first shot in DC - am interested to see how the fans react to it..... You know what, yeah.... I don't want to read the comments on that article. Either way, pretty excited for this.

@AbidNaga -
Bendis is actually getting his own line so that he can Luke Cage/Jessica Jones DC's lower level heroes.

@Battabing - That's great news! Bendis is always at his best when he does street level, or at least when he focuses on character rather than scale (New Avengers, and some of his Avengers, for example)

Better than his cover, that's for sure.

Jim Lee is one of the best, total OG, but his work diminishes in quality by A LOT when he rushes things. Also, only a handful of artists are capable of inking him properly, so in recent years, half of what he's done has been underwhelming. And since he doesn't do much anymore, well, I literally can't remember the last thing he drew that blew my mind. A few panels of Sewage Squad looked good, I guess.

Agreed.
Could barely recognize him in Suicide Squad.
I guess the last time i really liked his work was...damn, Superman Unchained written by Snyder!

Jim Lee is one of the best comic book artists working today. This is going to being a great issue.

I for one won't be buying any new Superman books once the red trunks show up. And no, I'm not letting this go. If there's a great story somewhere I'll buy the TPB but I'm done subscribing.

Just got finished reading a Superman short story within Action Comics # 1000 called "Of Tomorrow". Art is fantastic and the story itself is pretty touching and revealing about Superman's far future.
