DC has announced new creative teams for Superman and Action Comics following Future State.

In March 2021, Phillip Kennedy Johnson, Phil Hester and Eric Gapstur will team up for "The Golden Age," which spans Superman #29 and Action Comics #1029. Both issues will feature "Tales of Metroplis" backup stories, with Sean Lewis and Sami Basri handling Superman and Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad and Michael Avon Oeming handing Action Comics.

"I can’t begin to describe what an honor it is to be writing Superman and Action Comics, especially following one of my industry heroes, Brian Michael Bendis," Johnson said. "One of my very earliest memories is the thrill I felt watching the Christopher Reeve Superman films for the first time. My goal for every issue will be to give readers that same physical reaction, and the same lofty aspirations that Superman inspires: the desire to be better than we are, and to do more than the world thinks we can do."

After "The Golden Age," Johnson will pen both Superman and Action Comics, with art by Scott Godlewski on the former and Daniel Sampere on the latter. DC also teased a secret Superman project in the works from Johnson and Mikel Janín.

"The work I’m doing now with Phil Hester, Scott Godlewski, and Daniel Sampere is already some of my favorite of my career," Johnson added. "All three are wizards on the page, and the massive event that we’re building up to in Action Comics is a considerably bigger swing than I ever expected to get in comics. It’s no exaggeration to say it will change Superman’s status quo forever and have a lasting impact across the entire DC Universe. The already iconic Future State: Superman: Worlds of War artwork that you’ve seen from Mikel Janín in recent months is just the tip of the iceberg of what he and I have planned together. Stay tuned, you will NOT want to miss what’s coming."

DC's official descriptions for "The Golden Age" and "Tales of Metropolis" are below:

In “The Golden Age” part one on March 9 (Superman #29), Jonathan Kent is back from the 31st Century and fighting cosmic threats alongside his legendary father.
