A few changes, twixt solicitation and publication for DC Comics.

Action Comics #988, solicited with art by Patrick Zircher, now features art by Ryan Sook.

Flash #32, solicited with art by Howard Porter, will now have art by Christian Duce.

The Darkseid Special's OMAC back-up strip solicited as by Sam Humphries and Steve Rude will now be by Paul Levitz and Phil Hester. It looks like Steve Rude jumped off working with Sam Humphries on the Manhunter Special, another one of the DC Comics Kirby 100th Birthday celebration titles, and onto this.

Let's compare the solicits on that one, before…

DARKSEID SPECIAL #1
Written by MARK EVANIER • Art by SCOTT KOLINS • Backup story written by SAM HUMPHRIES • Backup story art by STEVE RUDE • Cover by CHRIS BURNHAM
Mark Evanier, longtime Kirby associate and biographer (Kirby: King of Comics), tells a tale starring one of Jack's greatest villains. The latest daring escape from the orphanage of Granny Goodness leaves an infuriated Darkseid determined to capture and punish the escapees. The Lord of Apokolips puts his best hunter on the case, but one of Granny's students is unlike anyone he's encountered before. Plus, an untold tale of Omac by Humphries and Rude and a classic Kirby Fourth World tale!
