Along with inker extraordinaire Scott Williams, the "Hush" art team is going to give you a Superman like none you've ever seen before. BRIAN AZZARELLO. Every great fighter needs a great sparring partner, and this time around, Eisner Award-winning writer Azzarello, hot off his own best-selling 6-issue run on BATMAN, delivers the goods. Together, these heavyweights present "For Tomorrow" a 12-part storyline sure to grab readers by the throat and hold on tight. It kicks off in SUPERMAN #204, an extra- sized 40-page issue! A cataclysmic event has struck the earth. Millions of people have vanished without a trace. No one is left unaffected - not even Superman. A year has passed, and Superman is left with many questions and very few answers. For a hero who tries to have all the answers, it's torture. And just as the action heats up and the stakes are raised, one huge question emerges: Just how far is Superman willing to go "For Tomorrow"? Cover price $2.50.

Limited 1 for 25 Retailer Incentive Variant Cover. Written by Max Landis. Art and Cover by Nick Dragotta. Hollywood screenwriter and Eisner Award nominee Max Landis (Chronicle, American Ultra, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) joins forces with top comics artists including Jock, Francis Manapul and Jae Lee to bring you SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN, a 7-issue miniseries chronicling the life of Clark Kent and his development into the archetypal hero he will eventually become. But these are not the stories of the iconic 'Superman' as you know him, but of the soft-spoken, charming, often-funny Kansas farm-boy behind the Man of Steel. With the tone of each issue ranging from heartwarming and simple, to frighteningly gritty and violent, to sexy, sun-kissed and funny, SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN is unlike anything you've seen before. In this first issue, superstar artist Nick Dragotta (East of West, Fantastic Four) illustrates the story of Jonathan and Martha Kent as they struggle to deal with their 12-year-old son's latest quirk-he's been floating up into the air, sometimes hundreds of feet! 32 pages, full color.
