We've been to the past and now DC is bringing us to the future. Five years into the future to be exact.
The future begins with May's FCBD entitled The New 52: Futures End # 0 which will be drawn by Ethan Van Sciver with the weekly writers Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Brian Azzarello and Dan Jurgens. Artist involved in this weekly project Jesus Merino, Aaron Lopresti. Here's the cover for # 0 done by the amazing Ryan Sook

Seriously, take a good look at the cover and you'll see that it's fucked up thanks to the details. Somebody just lobotomized Superman and took out massive chunks of his body replaced with metal. Nobody even bothered to dress The Flash up properly. Also its going to be Brother Eye versus Batman Beyond if we're going to read through the cover's placement and design. After the horrible output of Villain's Month, I'm hoping DC Comics does good with this.
We all remember Clark Kent transforming into Superman by going into the janitor's closet and emerging as the DCU's greatest hero. Now the New 52 Universe also kind of pays tribute to this classic gesture. Well KINDA.
Yes, and if it couldn't be more obvious the villain for this month is WILDCATS baddie Hellspont who also leads the daemonites.
So to cut the fat, here's that whole page from Superman # 7 featuring this little homage of Clark Kent changing into Superman.
Guys I really do not know about you, but I definitely dig this new costume of Supes. it's definitely every superhero's dream suit. Plus the art IMHO doesn't hurt. Definitely worth picking up from last week's releases.
I wonder if we'll ever see Superman going inside a telephone booth and emerging in his his armored attire? That's be awesome.
Hope we get to see this sort of thing for Zack Snyder's Man of Steel.
