Some of the folks involved include: Brain Michael Bendis, Marv Wolfman, Olivier Coipel, Paul Dini, José Luis García-López (!), Jerry Ordway, Scott Snyder, Tim Sale, Peter Tomasi ... it's gonna be great. I plan to buy many copies of this and all the variants I can. I've been waiting for this issue for 30 years. |

| There is something very wrong with his cape. And his head. That is not very good superman art. At all. In fact, it sucks. |

The Amazon page count is likely based on DC's original plan for the hardback of issue 1000, and they haven't gotten around to adjusting the page count. I'm assuming they'll get around to fixing it at some point. When you first set up books with DBD (Diamond Books), you have to do it months earlier than you do with the Diamond Comics side, so sometimes you don't have all of your ducks in a row.  Anyway, that one... the hardback... is a celebration hardback looking BACK on 1000 years of issues. The new one, issue 1000, which will be in the next issue of Diamond Previews, we'll start getting a better idea on regular covers, exceed variants, 1:Whatever variants, blah blah blah... I, too, think that the Jim Lee image looks like a quick sketch, not like Jim Lee's normal Superman artwork. |

| @thelastbard I figured as much, as far as the page count is concerned. I just hope the content is well worth the $30 price tag. 168 pages is a little lean. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Darkga Thanks, but I think you read too much into my comment. I simply meant that Action Comics will not go on with four digit numbering for very long. Then they will start over with the numbering. Probably kill Superman (again) in issue 1010 or whatever number they get to. And play it up big like the end of Life With Archie. |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid Okay, well ... I just found out issue #1000 will be prestige format, $7.99 cover price. So ... might not buy so many after all. At eight dollars a pop? That sh*t gets expensive FAST. It's weird, though, that they also announced a blank variant. How does that work with prestige format? It seems to me that would be harder to draw / sketch on. Have they ever done a blank prestige before? |

| This art of Jim Lee reminds me a LOT of how Gil Kane would draw Superman. Only real difference is the style of face and the shirt cuffs are from today's look. | ||

Quote:Originally Posted by DJC_II Yep, disappointing to say the least. If you are going to the original eras why not use the Action Comics #1 version? If creative enough (which these guys are) you could come up with a killer cool cover with the original Supe. Or go with an homage to #1 and modernize it to the max. A modern AC #1 and Supey with all the bells and whistles pulled out. There are sooo many directions they can take with this. Would love to be in the brainstorming sessions with them.... |

| The hardcover is 384 pages. It includes a lot of stories from issues through the years as well as a never before published 12-page story from Jerry and Joe that actually came from Marv Wolfman Here, I just wrote this this morning: Action 1000 Article |

| Fascinating info in that article. As to the cover picture. It sucks. Especially for such a milestone issue. But I am sure some of the variants will be better. Except for that previously unpublished story, there are better books that collect Superman stories of old. |

Quote:Originally Posted by JLS_Comics Nice article. One quibble: the "prestige format" is not the same as a hardcover. Prestige format is (as you put it) "floppy," like The Dark Knight Returns, Green Arrow: The Longbow Hunters, Batman: Harley Quinn, etc. Prestige format is actually the format the regular comic (not the hardcover) will take, with a $7.99 cover price. I like the terminology you use, by the way, calling it Action 1k. Also, can I go back in time and take a tour of the DC offices? I would love some free art. (Disney and Warner Bros used to do this, too, with animation cels.) |

Quote:Originally Posted by Tedsaid Thanks for that, Ted and you're absolutely right. It's funny, I was going back through to add some words to make the piece at least 300 words and I added that in kind of on a whim and an afterthought lol I just took it out! Visiting the offices back then would have been an amazing experience for sure |
