Action #900 Cover and Steel Reminder

I had a wander out to try and see the partial eclipse as the sun rose the other morning. The bowl in which our village is situated, with awkwardly tall buildings on the edges, meant that, in my dressing gown, I stumbled through the playground and all the way to the bus stop. 'Are you all right?' called the landlady from the pub. I assured her that I was eclipse watching, and not mad. Which is not the first time I've had to shout that. I caught a glimpse, but it was clear, from the bus stop, that the sun was rising into deep cloud, so I left it there rather than get arrested.

Below is the lovely David Finch cover for Action Comics #900, which as you can see features the return of Superman to the title.

You can read more about DC's exciting plans for the issue here.

Steel #1, the one off special by my old friend (and Doctor Who novelist) Steve Lyons is in US comic stores today, and in the UK by the end of the week (because of the holidays), and, as well as being the first published US comics work by someone who's going to make a real impact in the medium, it, and the other one off specials featuring various Superman-related characters coming soon... well, if you're reading Action Comics, you might want to check them out, that's all I'm saying.

I will be back with, I'm told, some more big comics news tomorrow. Cheerio!
