Superman #676

12May08

For those of you who don’t know, this Wednesday will mark the release of Superman #676.

This issue in particular is note worthy because, Superman #676 will mark Vito Delsante (of Jim Hanley’s Universe, Speakeasy Comics, and Chemistry Set acclaim)’s first published work in one of DC’s flagship superhero titles. The journey this story has taken in order to see the light of day has been a long one, and now that it’s release is just around the corner, I wanted to say as a follower of Vito’s work that I hope everyone will take some time out of their Wednesday and check out his issue of Superman.

Hell, he’s even got his own Alex Ross cover. How cool is that?!!!

From DCcomics.com:

Written by Vito Delsante; Art by Julian Lopez and Bit; Cover by Alex Ross

In this story, originally scheduled to appear in SUPERMAN CONFIDENTIAL #9, writer Vito Delsante and artists Julian Lopez and Bit tell the tale of how the Man of Steel met the original Emerald Sentinel, Alan Scott! As a mysterious team of scientists tracks a dangerous threat headed toward Metropolis, Superman learns the first lesson of super-heroism from the man who wrote the book!
