Brian Michael Bendis will follow in the footsteps of comics legend John Byrne later this year, as he launches a six-issue, status quo-altering miniseries titled Man of Steel, followed by a stint as writer of both Superman (which will relaunch with a new #1) and Action Comics.
Every step of that -- excepting that Byrne both wrote and drew his books, and his miniseries was titled "THE Man of Steel" rather than just Man of Steel -- was something that Byrne did during the 1980s, when the Last Son of Krypton was reinvented for the post-Crisis on Infinite Earths DC Comics continuity.
As first reported by ComicBook.com, Bendis will make his DC Comics debut in a short story with artist Jim Lee in Action Comics #1000. Beginning with #1001, Bendis will take over comics' most storied title, along with relaunching Superman with a new #1.
Both Action Comics and Superman will take June off to make room for Bendis's six-issue, weekly Man of Steel series, which will feature a rotating gallery of artists.
Bendis, who has been one of Marvel's best-selling writers for 18 years, has long been rumored to be eyeing the Superman titles.
A first look at the post-Man of Steel status quo will come in the form of a short story written by Bendis and featuring the art of Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez, which will appear in DC Nation #0, shipping the first week in May.
