Action Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis, has revealed artist Gary Frank and colorist Brad Anderson's variant cover for November's issue #1027, which unites Earth's House of El.
Bendis offered DC fans a look at the variant in a post to Instagram. "Coming soon!" he wrote. "The alt cover to [Action Comics #1027] by DC comics legends [Gary Frank] and [Brad Anderson]. I love surprises in the email!"
The variant depicts a family photo to be reckoned with, with Superman himself obviously present and accounted for. The Man of Steel is joined in the night sky by not only his cousin, Supergirl/Kara Zor-El/Kara Danvers, but also both versions of Superboy. Jonathan Kent, the son of Superman who currently serves as a member of the Legion of Super-Heroes, is seen floating alongside his dad and Supergirl. Meanwhile, Conner Kent/Kon-El -- the genetic clone of Superman who currently mixes it up as a member of Young Justice -- is flying forward.
Written by Brian Michael Bendis and illustrated by John Romita Jr. and Klaus Janson, Action Comics #1027 goes on sale Nov. 24 from DC Comics. The full solicitation information, as well as Romita and Janson's main cover, can be found below.
