For months DC has been teasing December 27's Action Comics #1050 as a "milestone" and the launch of a new era for both the Superman Family of c꧋haracters and the Superman family of comic 𝐆book titles.
And🍒 just a few weeks ago it revealed at least one of the ways an attack from Lex Luthor will has the potential to alter everything and "change the planet i♈tself."
Tꦯhe world will forget Clark and Jon Kent are the Supermans.
That's right, once 🦩a long-time core tenet of Superman's mythos, his🌄 secret identity is going to be restored. And Jon will get one for the first time.
"Some elements of the Lois and Clark dynamic can only be there with the secret identity," revealed writer Philip Kennedy Johnson t🐈o last month.
"The truth is a very important thing for Cla๊rk Kent," added upcoming Superman write🦄r Joshua Williamson.
"For someone to steal that from him is a tragic moment and created a lot of interesting drama and stor♏y possibilities for the Superman line in 2023. We wanted to play with all the pieces of the great and iconic Superman mythology that we all love. When this challengeꦓ was presented to us, we wanted to make sure it was not just magically being put back in the box. There are dangerous repercussions to how this happens that lead to more story to explore. And you'll see the start of that in Action Comics #1050!"
And now a preview of the opening pages of the 48-page issꦐue might have revealed exactl🦂y how Lex does it.
As you can see by the preview pages below, Lex has got former Superman adversary and more recent Superman ally Manchester Black hooked up by the brain to a nasty old-school science-y machine straight out o🍎f Frankenstein's lab.
After some tough talk between the two, Lex throws the lever, turning on the machine that seems to amplify and broadcast Black's telepathic and/or tel🃏ekinetic abilities around the globe (and maybe killing him in the process).
What metahuman powers does Manchester Black have that fit into the secret identity scenario? Well, he just so happens to be able to create psychic illusions, erase memories, and control people telepathi🌊cally at a vast scal꧅e.
See where we're goin༺g with this? Check out the preview to peer review our theory:
And if there's anything to this, last week's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Superm🦩an: Son of Kal-El series finale might play a key role in how it all plays out. Look at the story very 🐲carefully for a clue as to wher▨e this might be going.
Action Comics #1050 is written by ꧟Johnson, Wiꩵlliamson, and Tom Taylor, with art by Mike Perkins, Clayton Henry, and Nick Dragotta, colors by Frank Martin, and lettering by Dave Sharpe.
The ♔issue features a main cover by Steve Beach and more than 25 variant covers which you can check out in the gallery below.
Action Comics #1050 goes on sꦛale December 27.
Lex Luthor has always been one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Superman villains of all time.
