Another Super Bomb At DC: Supergirl #18 Phantom Writer

Another Super Bomb At DC: Supergirl #18 Phantom Writer

Yesterday saw news surface that Andy Diggle might be off Action Comics before he has already begun, and now another bomb hits the Superman books.

Today’s issue of Supergirl #18 has Mike Johnson and Mamud Asrar listed as the writer and artist on the cover.

However, when you open the issue, another name is given credit for the writer, a name no one has ever heard of before with Frank Hannah, leading to speculation that the editor actually wrote the book.

Robson Rocha is also listed as the penciler with a batch of different inkers.

A new writer is coming on board Supergirl anyway, on #20, with Michael Alan Nelson, but this seems a bit odd.
