Brian Michael Benis' First DC Story will be a Back-up Story in Action Comics #1,000

[Steel]

[quote]Longtime Marvel Comics writer Brian Michael Bendis's first published work under his long-term DC-exclusive contract will be a backup story in Action Comics #1000, featuring art by DC co-publisher Jim Lee, ComicBook.com has learned.

The issue, which represents the first time a major American superhero comic has reached the 1,000-issue milestone, will be an over-sized extravaganza with a main feature by writer Dan Jurgens, who took over Action Comics with #957 at the start of the Rebirth initiative in 2016; and another by Peter J. Tomasi and Patrick Gleason, who took over Superman at that same time. The rest of the book is a star-studded tribute to eighty years of Superman storytelling.

Besides Action Comics #1000, DC will release a hardcover collection, Action Comics #1000: 80 Years of Superman, which will retail at $29.99 and feature over 300 pages, with a blend of new and reprinted content.

Well, at least it'll look great.

I mean, Jim Lee's art was the only redeeming feature of ASBAR so even if Bendis's writing is shit, at least we'll have that.
