Writer: Dan Watters
Artist: Leila Del Duca
My favorite thing about these issues is the Lee Weeks art on the covers. Weeks is one of the treasures of modern comics, doesn’t get enough appreciation for that.
The issues themselves are a welcome reprise of the New 52 team up between Superman and Wonder Woman, with the obvious distinction that there it was a budding romance and here it’s the next generation of Jon Kent and Yara Flor. It’s Jon’s best Future State showing, and another highlight for Yara.
It’s also, very sneaky, evocative of All Star Superman, which for some is kind of the career highlight for Grant Morrison.
That’s how the credit pages appear in both issues, which is the style used in Morrison’s comic. Solaris, the tyrant sun, is also featured. It’s pretty deliberate.
Otherwise, writer Dan Watters and artist Leila Del Duca follow their own fancy. It’s just great to see a comic everyone sees as a classic finally show up as a source of inspiration. Obviously Watchmen shows up like that all the time. This is a welcome way to see Morrison finally reaching that status.
