War Of The Supermen Coming To DC Comics

If you’ve enjoyed Superman: World Of New Krypton, just wait until DC Comics unleashes War Of The Supermen in May of 2010, according to Digital Spy.
It will be a major new Superman event that will kick off next year on Free Comic Book day with issue #0, a prequel written by James Robinson and drawn by Eddy Barrows.
“The crossover will follow on from the recent ‘Brainiac’ and ‘New Krypton’ arcs and tie in with the long-running Superman: World Of New Krypton plotline,” the DC Comics blog announced. “It focuses on the heightening tension between Earth and the planet of New Krypton.”
“Right now, we’re taking the concentrated approach, limiting the war to the main miniseries and logical titles (i.e. Superman, Supergirl, etc.),” editor Matt Idelson told Techland. “But much like ‘Blackest Night’, it’s very possible the story will expand to touch upon other titles.”
When asked whether “War Of The Supermen” will be accessible to readers who are not well versed in DC Universe continuity, Idelson said: “Absolutely. A big part of our jobs (editors and writers both) is to make sure we remember that any given issue of any book could be someone’s first.
“With a big, loud story like this, we have to be doubly diligent to make sure this thing is accessible, from the Free Comic Book Day zero issue right through to the finale.”
