Loyal DC fans will love or hate Paul Levitz after August shipping comic book

News, Top Story

Oh, oh. What is he doing? (gulp) Retcon? Well, since this is the post-Infinite Crisis Earth and LOSH, whatever it is might be a retcon, but its an in-continuity one…. oh, head hurts… Anyway, I have no idea what’s being planning.

In Paul’s own words:

Levitz also mentioned that “the next issue of ‘Adventure Comics,’ I’ll guarantee will either be loved or intensely hated by long time fans.”

I believe he’s talking about Adventure Comics 517 that ships on August 11, 2010. Below is the solicit:


Written by PAUL LEVITZ • Co-Feature written by JEFF LEMIRE • Art by KEVIN SHARPE and MARIO ALQUIZA • Co-Feature art by MAHMUD ASRAR and JOHN DELL • Cover by SCOTT CLARK and DAVID BEATY

When Superboy learns about his future exploits, he discovers the heavy burden that comes with being the kid destined to grow up to be Superman.

And in the second installment of the all-new co-feature starring The Atom, Ray Palmer continues tracking down who may have recently attacked his father! Don’t miss this exciting new era for The Atom from up-and-comers Jeff Lemire (SWEET TOOTH) and Mahmud Asrar (Dynamo 5) spinning out of the pages of BRIGHTEST DAY!

DC Universe 40pg. Color $3.99 US
On Sale August 11, 2010


Wow, that’s some blurb on the main story is it? The cover doesn’t seem to jive with that nugget. Hmmm, I wonder what’s up Paul’s sleeves?
