Brian Michael Bendis recently shocked the comic book industry when he signed an exclusive deal with DC Comics, bringing his lengthy Marvel run to an abrupt end. It's now been confirmed that after launching a six-issue weekly series titled Man of Steel, Bendis will make the leap to both Action Comics and Superman in July. His first work for the company will actually arrive in Action Comics #1000.
The longtime Ultimate Spider-Man writer will team with a number of artists, including Ivan Reis, Evan "Doc" Shaner, Ryan Sook, Kevin Maguire, Adam Hughes, and Jason Fabok for a series which will "shake up the classic story of Krypton's final days and Kal-El's path to becoming an iconic hero." Bendis will also introduce a new villain who apparently holds a "terrifying secret" about Krypton's destruction.
Bendis will team with Reis for the newly launched Superman #1 after that and it's going to be very interesting seeing what he does with the hero, especially now he'll be dominating the Man of Steel's world! What do you guys think? As always, let us know your thoughts in the comments section.
