“Action Comics” #39, written by yours truly with art by the great Scott Kolins and Aaron Kuder, hits stores today! This is the conclusion to the big “Horrorville” storyline, wherein Superman, Lana, Steel, and Hiro have faced mysterious horrors in the misty cornfields and creepy farmhouses of Smallville. Find out the truth behind the horror — and the origin of the Ultra-Humanite!
Check out a big lettered preview.
Comic Book Resources has posted a lettered preview of “Storm” #7, which hits stores Wednesday. As that Stephanie Hans cover indicates, Storm’s been arrested by the FBI as the story opens. Any guess regarding what happens next?

USA Today’s Brian Truitt interviewed me about the horror story in “Action Comics” #38 — and previewed several lettered, colored pages from the issue, which hits comic stores on Wednesday!
An excerpt from the interview:
It takes a lot to scare someone who’s as powerful as Superman, and Pak feels it’s been his job to do that in his career of working with superheroes. Whether he’s dealing with the Hulk, Storm of the X-Men or the Man of Steel, the key is “to come up with villains or situations that genuinely challenge and disrupt them in unexpected ways. That’s the thrill and the drama, and I love it.
“It’s also great stuff to work with thematically,” he adds. “Finding those things that can get under these superpowered heroes’ skins usually means getting to the emotional heart of the characters, which makes them come to life in the right kind of way.”
I’ll be a guest at the Comic Book Club live show in New York City at 7 pm on Tuesday, December 9. It’s at Fontana’s Bar, 105 Eldridge Street between Grand and Broome, and it’s FREE!
It’s a fun show that I’ve done many, many times over the years. It’s a talk show format, with lots of hijinks and laughs and audience participation and even a bit of serious comics talk!
I’ll also have copies of “Code Monkey Save World” and maybe “Make Comics Like the Pros” for sale!
Come see, come see!
“Action Comics” #37 hits stores this Wednesday. Check out the preview at ComicVine!
The issue continues the “Horrorville” storyline we began last month, with Superman investigating creepy goings-on in Smallville. And yes, things get a lot worse for everyone involved.
Gorgeous art by Aaron Kuder, as usual — who goes one step further with a new style for some crucial flashback pages. Colors by Wil Quintana and editing by Eddie Berganza.
Ask your local shop to hold you a copy!
I’ve got two big books in stores today! Call your local store and ask them to hold you a copy or buy ’em digitally at Comixology!
“Batman/Superman” #16, drawn by Ardian Syaf, starts a brand new storyline that asks “Who is Superman’s Joker?” Pretty darn excited about this. Ardian’s our new ongoing artist, and he’s amazing — combining some of that fine detail of Jim Lee with the expressive character work of a Kubert. Inks by Sandra Hope Archer and David Meikis, colors by Ulises Arreola, letters by Rob Leigh, and editing by Eddie Berganza. Check out the preview here!
“Storm” #5 features our hero cutting loose in the death fields of the Four Clans — possibly risking her own soul while finishing her dead lover Wolverine’s dangerous business. Art by the always stunning Victor Ibañez, inks by Victor and Craig Yeung, colors by Ruth Redmond, letters by Joe Sabino, and editing by Daniel Ketchum. Check out the preview here.
Hope you enjoy!
