“Writing Action Comics for the past two years has been one of the most rewarding writing experiences I’ve ever had, and everything that’s happened in that time—Future State, Superman: Son of Kal-El, The Warworld Saga, and Kal -El returns – has everyone building for Action Comics #1050,” said Phillip Kennedy Johnson. “Clark Kent has returned to Earth stronger than ever, Jon has fully come into his own, and the Super Family is ready to make Metropolis the true City of Tomorrow. It’s no exaggeration to say that Action Comics #1050 is a NEW BEGINNING for Superman, and the era about to begin is as bright and fun and exciting as anything fans have ever seen at DC Comics.”

And the shocking events of Action Comics #1050 are just the beginning. This issue will also tease the surprises, conflicts, and major threats to come for the Superman family.”
