Preview Pages On The Source

Over on the DC blog, Matt Idelson touches on the near future for almost every super-title in some way. Here is the link:

I am a complete sucker for preview pages. I really love trying to figure out what exactly is going on given what I know about the current events of the title. Here are a couple of the pages Idelson posted there.


First off, a great Matt Camp page from Supergirl #49.

My guess is this is the beginning scene from the book where Lana collapses. I think it is interesting that on these black and white pages that the blood is already colored red. Lana must be running to catch a cab when her condition finally reaches that critical point and she drops. The shocked look on the doorman has to be followed by a splash page of Lana on the sidewalk hemorrhaging.


And just as fabulous is this Jamal Igle page from the double-sized Supergirl #50.

It looks like we finally have a General Lane and Lucy Lane reunion. We saw Superwoman return back in September's Annual but haven't seen much of her since. So I am glad that we are getting back to that dangling plot.

What's more, Superwoman doesn't necessarily look happy in that 4th panel. I wonder if her mind has come back 100% since her "death". An insane Superwoman would be a terrifying villain.

And while we get to see pages from World of New Krypton #11 and Superman #695, I had to post this page from Action Comics #885.

In the top left hand corner we see Dr. Light. And of course the bulk of the panel is Mon-El and the Science Police. So my guess is that the SciPo somehow detected all that Jax-Ur was doing to Chris and have come to investigate. I can't wait to see what comes of this interaction.

It looks like things are going to be exciting as the New Krypton storyline begins to wind down!
