Wonder Woman, Batman, and Superman are trapped in nightmare worlds within the Dark Multiverse! They'll need to face down their fiercest foes once again if they hope to accomplish their mission and bring back a power capable of stopping the Darkest Knight. But what horrors has he unleased on Earth while they've been locked away?!

Rogol Zaar against the Legion? Somehow I'm not surprised yet still disappointed at the same time. I hope Bendis doesn't drag him out too much.

I have no reason to be invested in Synmar yet. Nothing about him just feels all that new.

Jon looks like he's between ages on that Action variant cover.

Is that robot Silver Banshee the first time she's been seen since the New 52? Aside from her headshot in Reborn.

When Bendis teased that Rogol Zaar would be back, but not where we expected him, I guessed it would be Legion, but I thought that was too obvious.

Personally, I've been waiting for these two to interact away from Clark, Kara, or Zod.

Guessing he's gonna become Presuader, and this is set up for the Fatal Five. They'd have their very own out-of-time-half-kryptonian.

I actually like how Teen Titans and the variant for Action make Jon look, like he is an actual teenager and not a young adult. Like he could reasonably be 16 or so, since we never established a set age.

Probably the best thing to do with him at this point. Why try and make an OC happen when you can just make him a canon DC character all along .

Synmar's name is ostensibly just a flipped portmanteau of Onimar Synn, yeah?

Evil God-Pharaoh of Thanagar type dude? Hawkman villain? There's been plenty of Hawks in this Superman run so I'd be alright as long as Synmar were to tie to that. Although from his appearance, he doesn't directly seem to have anything in common with Hawkworld. I wonder if he's a Reis design specifically. Reis' is one of the just insanely good modern artists, with that kind of updated Neal Adams bent to everything and is so good. But I've never found his design-work to be all that special. With maybe the exception of The Trench in Aquaman.

So yeah we get the spindly three-clawed slightly Goblin-ish looking alien with the slightly Beta Ray Bill face. Not that I think whoever charges across the universe to address a story theme Bendis wants to tackle has to look humanoid in some timeless Silver Age spandex caped costume. But this one feels pretty bland and Rogol Zaar felt pretty bland. And therefore, his two big introductions to the Superman rogues gallery feel bland. I suppose I do dig Mark Shaw's new look, though, so 1 for 3 for me.

Are The Source and The Presence the same?

I think I know the model for Jon. He's a teen model that's really big on Instagram because he's extremely pretty and been modeling since preteen. Don't know the name. I found him while looking for drawing reference myself.

[Frontier]

You know what's funny? One of Zaar's few defining qualities is that he's able to have so many people rally behind him off. He even seems to have a cult of followers in Supergirl. Even Jax-Ur commented on how Zaar "really spoke to him"

So he's Cosmic Parker Robbins/The Hood .

[objectivewatcher2013]

Boooooorrrrrriiiiiiiiiinnnnnnngg!!!!! When is Bendis gonna leave Superman?!? He's awful. Make you want to strangle bunny rabbits lol. Sheeesh lol.

City of Tomorrow vol 2 is a great collection, hope it continues the post Joker stuff.

Interesting that it's based on a real person. It's one of those faces to me... it is technically very nice art, but the realism makes it a bit creepy.

The uncanny valley effect. It’s not quite there for me, but I can understand others finding it odd. Strange that Alex Ross has never had that impact on me despite his realistic paintings and his usage of real life models for characters.

Yeah it just looks weird.
