January 10, 2000: Superman/Gen 13
DC Comics has provided information on Superman/Gen 13, a three-issue mini-series that begins on April 5.The mini-series is written by Adam Hughes, with art and covers by Lee Bermejo and John Nyberg. J. Scott Campbell and Tom McWeeney are providing variant (1-in-4) covers for each of the three issues.
Here's how DC describes the first issue and premise of the mini-series:
"Superman/Gen13 #1 finds the Gen-Actives standing on the sidelines during the Man of Steel's latest super-heroic tussle. When Superman gets knocked through a few buildings, Fairchild places herself in the line of fire and takes the brunt of the impact. Relieved to find the unfamiliar redhead unharmed, the Man of Steel rushes back to battle -- but not before leaving his cape wrapped around the dazed Fairchild.
"After the fight is won, Superman and the Gen-Actives are surprised to find that Fairchild has disappeared, taking Superman's cape along with her. Unbeknownst to them, Fairchild has come down with a case of amnesia and made a surprising -- and breathtakingly incorrect -- realization when she awoke with the S-emblazoned cape: She must be Supergirl!
"Can Superman, Grunge, Burnout, Roxy, and Rainmaker find Fairchild before her case of mistaken identity develops a body count?"
Eric DeSantis is editing the series.
