The First 4 Pages of Bendis and Jim Lee's Action Comics #1000 – and the New Villain

Published Sat, 07 Apr 2018 12:42:55 -0500

Shown off at the Action Comics #1000 panel at C2E2, we have the first four pages of Brian Michael Bendis's first Superman story, appearing in Action Comics #1000, with art by Jim Lee, fully coloured and lettered. Remember it wasn't that long ago since it looked like this.

We got the story of how Bendis names the new villain after his doctor — before he saw her. And after he asked permission, and she googled to find out who Brian Michael Bendis was, she showed him some sexy-female Marc Silvestri art asking to be drawn like that.

Sorry…
