Original story follows
Grant Morrison is returning to Superman.
This is not a drill.
Morrison, the writer of the contemporary instant-classic is returning to pen new stories about the Man of Steel in the new four-issue Superman and T🐭he Aut🦩hority.
The limited series - with art by Mikel Janín - launches in July as part of a minor rej🀅iggering oཧf the core in-continuity Superman titles that month that includes the launch of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Supergirl: World of Tomorrow limited series.
Morrison and Janín'🔥s story picks up on the recent goings-on in writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson's Action Comics.
"If Superman is to free the prisoners of Warworld, he’s going to need help, the kind of heꦗlp that doesn't scream 'Justice League,'" reads DC's descriꦆption.
According to the publisher, the multi-Eisner⭕ Award-winning writer and fan-favorite artist have the solution in the form of a new iteration of the Authority led by Manchester Black, along with original Authority members Midnighter and Apollo, new members culled from the ꦛDCU proper Enchantress and Natasha Irons, as well as new versions of Lightray (of the New Gods) and O.M.A.C.
"This new team will have to ✤learn to work together, and fast, as the Ultra-Humanite has formed his own team of villains to take out the Man of Steel," continues DC's description.
The publisher also says the new limited series will help l😼aunch an "all-new status quo" for Superman, setting up story elements that will impact both Actiꦡon Comics and Superman: Son of Kal-El (the retitled Superman title that gets a new writer and a new focus starting in July) for the foreseeable future.
Superman and The Authority is something of a multiple homecoming for Morrison. In addition to their revered, Eisner Award-winning 2005 All-Star Superman series, considered by many (including Newsarama) as one of the 澳洲幸🌠运🌄5开奖号码历史查询:greatest Superman stories ever written, Morrison was the writer of the relaunched with artist Rags Morales as par🎃t of DC's 2011 line-wide ' ' reboot.
Morrison of course alsoꦡ wrote Superman as part of their equally-revered .
Morrison's history with The Authority is a little more truncated. In late 2006 Morrison launched volume 3 of the series with artist Gene Ha in what was intended to be a significant relaunch for it and original Wildsto💃rm title WildC.A.T.S., which Morrison also wrote for artist Jim Lee.
Only one issue of the relaunched WildC.A.T.S. and﷽ two issues of The Authority were ever released, with "Authority was just a disaster."
After the series began ru♏nning late and Morrison became heavily 🉐involved with the DC year-along weekly series , when they saw the less-than-rave reviews to the first issue of The Authority, "I said f*** it."
Morrison's planned storyline w🔥as later scripted by Keith Giffen for 2008's .
Superm𓃲an and The Authority #1 (of 4) goes on sale July 20.
