This October, J Michael Straczynski is taking a break from his acclaimed “Grounded” arc that is currently running in DC’s Superman title. Evidently, the cheesiness of his overly patriotic America-fest was just too much for him, and he needed a break

But here’s the good news - Air and Cairo scribe G. Willow Wilson will be stepping in for a special “interlude” issue! The issue, Superman #704, will feature artwork by Leandro Oliveira, a gorgeous cover by John Cassaday, and a special variant by Gene Ha.

“Detailing a visit Lois Lane makes to the town where she went to college in anticipation of Superman’s arrival. When she runs into an old boyfriend and sees the nice, normal family he has, Lois is can’t help but examine the choices she made and wonder if they were the correct ones.”

G. Willow Wilson is a fantastic writer, and I was pretty upset to see Air come to an end recently. I’m glad to see that DC are sticking her on the big titles though! More of this please, DC!
