    Why no Action Comics? The last thing we need is delays.

    It would be odd for Action to be delayed given there are at least 2 artist on the book yet Superman with its single Reis is still coming out on time. And even then books like Doomsday Clock still got solicited, right?

    Maybe it's spoiler related. Maybe after Action comes out next week they'll give us a solicit?

    Everything else sounds fantastic. I'm still sort of waiting for Super Sons to actually do something of note other than be back though, but each solicit after the first 2 or 3 sound like one of the best comics I'm gonna read, so I'm good on waiting. Been digging Supergirl, and I'm a sucker for a Krypto POV story. Superman issue 6 is supposed to be the issue where Jon gets back, and "the end of this issue changes the lives of Superman and his family forever" sound pretty exciting, ominous, and interesting.

    We walk on the path to Secher Nbiw. Though hard fought, we walk the Golden Path.

    I hope that's it, though it would seem odd to completely omit a solicit for spoilers. They work around that stuff all the time. The Supergirl stuff sounds great, and this looks like the issue of Superman where spoilers:
    Jon returns aged up
    end of spoilers.

    I wouldn't go as far as to say its confirmed, but just to be safe I'll tag it unless told there's enough question to it where it would still count as speculation. Which there just might be, a sketch isn't necessarily the end all be all. But as of now I do believe its what will happen.

    I love Ivan Reis. I wish he could draw Superman forever. A man can dream.

    Ahh, I see Action and some other titles missing are likely because Wednesday of that week is the 26th, day after Christmas.

    Was just about to post that. The DC catalogs preview says action will ship January 2nd, so it'll be included in next month's solicits. Hopefully we'll get 2 issues that month.

    Nice to see Tomasi following up on those teases from Black Dawn and Supersons of Tomorrow.

    Um, I guess I'm not bugged by the DC publishing line when I get a minimum of Superman. One book that month is below minimum, so maybe I'll have a Marvel based winter break.

    The solicit says their life will change forever.

    Sacred Knight got exactly why.
    It's not about separation or not loving each other anymore.

    Y'know.... I hate the fact that Superman needs the Justice League, Kara, Zod, the Marines, The Navy Seals to defeat Rogol Zaar.
    Is he really that much more powerful???

    Well... I thought they created Doomsday to be the perfect power match to Clark... and that was fine by me.

    But this Rogol Zaar... I gave Bendis the benefit of the doubt, but he is disappointing me.

    Pretty much like what Tom King is doing with Batman.

    Well, at least Bruce got his old costume back...

    It definitely sound like adult Jon is a long-term change, and that I'm not exactly ecstatic about. It's a fast track to getting Jon a more high-stakes ongoing of his own, but it kills dead the Supersons partnership and we'll only have one last go at it with the maxi-series going on.

    Hey, here's a thought, what if the plan is to give Jon the Superman title? And Clark and Lois Action Comics?
