ComicsAlliance.com: Frank Quietly Draws Grant Morrison and Friends for ‘Playboy’

Hey, look at that! A nerdy reason to buy Playboy…

Newsarama.com posted THIS along with a preview of Action Comics #1 that you should certainly check out.

After reading it all I can say is that I trust Grant Morrison. It doesn’t feel like Superman just yet, but I know it will…

Comics Alliance: Silver Age Remix Comics

SUPERMAN FAMILY REVEALED

Here it is, the cover for the first Action Comics #1 since 1938. I’m really looking forward to seeing what Grant Morrison does on the title.This is a must read title for me, one of the few that have come out of the reboot thus far.

As for Superman #1, it’ll be written by (but not drawn by) George Perez, however it does sport a cover featuring his artwork:

Not sure what the deal is with those “knee pads”, and it kinda looks like Superman is wearing Iron Man armor, but that could just be the coloring here. I’m glad he looks like Superman, but does this look like Supergirl?

The costume is very alien, which may fit her story:

Supergirl’s got the unpredictable behavior of a teenager, the same powers as Superman and none of his affection for the people of Earth. Writers Michael Green and Mike Johnson (Smallville, SUPERMAN/BATMAN) will team up with artist Mahmud Asrar to give a new take on the teenager from Krypton in SUPERGIRL #1.

I can get behind this story driven re-design, except maybe the boots. I don’t recall people on Krypton wearing knee cut out boots.

Then we this have Superboy:

But is this the same Superboy as the one we saw on the cover of Teen Titans? I’m assuming so, but you never can tell these days…

I’m very happy DC released these covers today. I assumed they would do it on Monday. I’ve been getting some messages about this artwork that was taken from the DC servers, but I didn’t want to post them and upset the creators who worked so hard to time these reveals.

Here is the official description for SUPERGODS:

From one of the most acclaimed and oracular writers in the world of comics comes a thrilling and provocative exploration of humankind’s great modern myth: the superhero.

For Grant Morrison, possibly the greatest of contemporary superhero storytellers, these heroes are not simply characters but powerful archetypes whose ongoing, decades-spanning story arcs reflect and predict the course of human existence: Through them, we tell the story of ourselves. In this exhilarating book, Morrison draws on history, art, mythology, and his own astonishing journeys through this alternate universe to provide the first true chronicle of the superhero-why they matter, why they will always be with us, and what they tell us about who we are.

Are you at all like me and never had a chance to read Grant Morrison’s Flex Mentallo? Well, looks like the 4 issue mini-series will finally be reprinted! CLICK HERE for more information…

Bruce is on his way. Heading to the store to find out how/why.

Cameron Stewart posted his amazing “pencils” from Batman and Robin #16 on his BLOG the other day, and I must say they are rather amazing. I would love to buy the original pages! What’s that? There are no pages for sale? Why?

From Cameron Stewart’s blog post:
Unfortunately, none of these pages are for sale…as they don’t exist! I did this issue completely digitally, so there are no physical pages.

Wow, those are some very pretty digital drawings. I found the direction Stewart has added to “Insert Painting Here” pretty amusing.  If you want to see more of his work from Batman and Robin #16 like the above image, or this jem:
