Superman
Released today, DC Entertainment's Action Comics No. 1000 - the first comic in the USA industry to reach the thousand-issue mark - is at once both a celebration of Superman, who also reaches his 80th birthday today - and a signpost for what lies ahead for the Man of Steel, thanks to incoming Superman writer Brian Michael Bendis, whose first story appears in the issue.
Superman debuted in Action Comics #1 back on April 18, 1938.
Eisner Award-winner Daniel Clowes is celebrating Superman's birthday with the release of a previously unpublished comic strip.
Longtime editor and former DC Comics president Paul Levitz was tasked with editing a second book, "Action Comics: 80 Years of Superman, the Deluxe Edition", nearly 400 pages of the greatest stories ever told within the pages of "Action Comics". The Deluxe Edition also has a never-published story, "Too Many Heroes", from Siegel and Shuster that was donated by fan-favorite DC Comics writer Marv Wolfman, who was given the pages during a childhood visit to DC Comics.
Hero pilot: We prayed for lost passenger
Gary Shults , her brother-in-law, said her husband Dean is also a Southwest pilot."She's a formidable woman, as sharp as a tack". Shults was among the first female fighter pilots in the USA military, according to friends and former classmates.
Europe tackling its 88m tonne food waste problem
Fruit and vegetables account for 39% of all these products, followed by dairy products (17%), meat (14%) and cereals (12%). And throwing our food into the trash wastes the land, labor, and resources that went into producing it.
False alarm activated defense system
Meanwhile, a Pentagon spokesman said in a brief statement that there was no US military activity in that area at this time. Russian foreign minister Sergei Lavrov described it as a provocation and a very unsafe development.
That's one of the special things about the book: seeing the evolution of Superman and his world.
Jurgens' run on "Action Comics" comes to an end with the 1,000th issue. There is one new wrinkle that Bendis introduces towards the end of his story that feels a little off - readers of J. Michael Straczynski's Earth One series will know what I'm talking about - and while the cliffhanger of the story can't help but feel a little cheap, you can only hope that Bendis brings this tighter, more focused writing to his new company. Reading these stories or essay prior to the big milestone issue isn't required, but it certainly adds to feeling of history behind the Superman mythos.
"1,000 represents a watershed moment in the history of not just comic books, but entertainment, literature and pop culture", said DC publisher Jim Lee, who is also the artist who designed the new costume.
