In April, DC comics will unveil their 8th books in the revamped universe and as of yesterday, the covers for both the Superman titles have been released.

Action Comics #8 will feature what looks like a climatic fight between Superman and the redesigned Brainiac. It also looks as if the Man of Steel will finally receive his new look and ditch the t-shirt and jeans look he has going for him in this issue.



And, on the second book after writer George Perez leaves the Superman books, the fight between Superman and Wildstorm's Helspont continues. It seems that the creatives at DC have finally realized that the Man of Steel's rouge gallery is lackluster after you get past Lex Luthor, Zod and Brainiac (Darkseid doesn't count, DC say he's a villain of the New Gods and the DC universe as a a whole), and are trying to enlist other rouges to create better stories.




Art looks amazing in this book, I'll pick it up. =)

Damnit! I wanted brainiac to remain the Geoff Johns version. That one was pretty cool

Dont care. I hate BOTH of his "new looks" equally.

Thank God, I've been trying to tell people that DARKSEID is a DC Universe villain, NOT a Superman Villain.

I was wondering if that was Helspont. When I saw him on a previous cover, I was thinking that was him, but then I thought he just had an uncanny resemblance.

It's kind of interesting that they're mixing the DC Universe with a WildC.A.T.s character.

@Gaston I agree. In my opinion, Superman has a great rogues gallery.
