January 29, 2013: Changes for "Action Comics" #17 and #18

Action Comics Newsarama.com confirms that writer Andy Diggle and artist Tony S. Daniel's run on "Action Comics" will begin with issue #19, and not #18 as originally solicited by DC Comics, to allow Grant Morrison to conclude his run with an extra issue.

    Issue 17 will be delayed from February 6 to February 20, 2013, and goes down in price from $4.99 ($5.99 for digital combo pack) one dollar to $3.99/$4.99. It goes from 48 pages down to 40 pages as well. The issue will have a new cover by Rags Morales (plus a 1:100 black and white variant) and an order-based variant by Terry & Rachel Dodson.

    The new final issue of Grant Morrison's run with artists Rags Morales and Brad Walker is Action Comics #18, which will be 48 pages with a price of $4.99 ($5.99 combo). It will ship March 6, 2013, as originally solicited. The originally solicited cover for #17 (pictured here) now belongs to the new finale, while an order-based Paulo Rivera variant and a 1:100 black and white variant by Morales once again. DC is also offering a blank "We Can Be Heroes" variant cover to the finale.

So to clarify, Grant Morrison will end his run with issue #18, and Andy Diggle and Tony S. Daniel will begin their run with issue #19.
