April 25, 2015: Post-Convergence - Lois Lane vs Clark Kent

Divergence Gene Luen Yang's first issue of "Superman" hasn't even been published yet, but the new writer has already started feeling the anger from Superman (and specifically Lois Lane) fans with the revelation of a few pages from an upcoming issue of "Superman" thanks to a sneak peek in the Free Comic Book Day offering titled "Divergence".

"Divergence" will give us an 8-page preview of each of the 49 books that will be published in June/July after the "Convergence" event concludes. People are calling the events after "Convergence" a 'soft relaunch' of the DC Universe. Much has been made of the new looks Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman will receive post-Convergence, and it appears that the status quo of the characters will also be changing... dramatically.

"Superman #42" will be released on July 22, as the second issue written by Gene Luen Yang. His first issue, #41 will be released on June 24. Before that however, issue #40 will be written and drawn by John Romita, Jr. and will be released this week, in the middle of Convergence (the current 2-month event taking place across the entire DC Universe). After Convergence, the Superman comic book titles will be involved in a crossover event titled "Truth", which sees Superman sporting a new haircut, wearing a T-shirt and jeans, while riding a motorbike.

However Superman's appearance isn't the only thing that'll be different. His secret identity as Clark Kent is also under threat... Thanks to Lois Lane!

The following images, taken from the 8-page preview from the Free Comic Book Day offering "Divergence" has revealed that Lois Lane will be responsible for outing Superman's secret identity... and fans across the Internet are not pleased... at all!
