THE WIZARD, BIZARRO!

Jason Aaron writes Superman for the very first time, teaming up with all-star artist John Timms to present a startling new vision of the Man of Steel’s strangest foe. When Superman’s doppelgänger discovers a dark secret about himself, it unleashes the most dangerous version of Bizarro the world has ever seen.

Bizarro goes dark?

That Bachalo cover is some A+ work. Waiting to see if this ties into Williamson’s tease or if Aaron is doing his own thing.

The Brainiac Queen Takes Over Metropolis

The six-part story “House of Brainiac” takes place in both Superman and Action Comics where the Brainiac Queen will make her debut. The storyline not only pits the Man of Steel against Lobo, Brainiac and the Green Lanterns but also his very own family. DC Comics also has a special one-shot in store for fans featuring Superman and Brainiac.

Jason Aaron: A "Darker, Weirder" Bizarro Superman, at Thought Bubble

Jason Aaron tells us, at Thoiught Bubble, to expect a different kind of Bizarro Superman story from him, darker and weirder.

And when taking over the upcoming Superman comic books, he asked Mark Waid for advice.

Because that is his current daunting project, and told us that we are to expect a different kind of Bizarro Superman story from him. Jason Aaron pointed out that Bizrro stories usually make us feel sad for Bizarro and play upon his stupidity. He is planning darker, weirder stories involving Bizarro… telling us, "Of course, the story is ridiculous, but there's a darkness to the story".

Man, why do so many writers think making everything "darker" is automatically better? Bizarro is an interesting character because he is so sympathetic. But I guess its time to butcher him for some edgy shock value.

Hoping for the best, since this is the deadbeat dad Bizarro from Tomasi’s run it makes sense to go darker with him.

I guess it depends on what they mean by "darker". There was one story where Bizarro was given higher intellectual...but was still rejected because of his appearance. If they lean more in that kind of direction rather than grim and gritty...it could be good.

I don't have much idea about Jason Aaron but I have heard he is considered a fairly mediocre writer based on his Avengers run. So I don't have much hope.

I can't speak to Aaron's Avengers' run but his Thor run is considered epic.

Aaron might be one of those writers who is just lousy on team books (Lemire is another).

He was solid with Ghost Rider and Wolverine. I look forward to his Batman. When his Thor did hit it wasn't in a way that made me think of Superman, but it could be a nice change of pace
