Earlier today saw DC Comics pull a switcheroo regarding Superman #50, and now the reason is revealed as April and May will feature the Superman “Super League” event.

We see the original cover and story meant for Superman #50 is now set for Action Comics #52.

“Super League” is an eight issue series written by Peter J. Tomasi spanning Superman, Batman/Superman, Superman/Wonder Woman and Action Comics from April to May.

Here are the full details and images:

The epic eight-part “Super League,” all written by Peter J. Tomasi, spans SUPERMAN, BATMAN/SUPERMAN, SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN and ACTION COMICS in April and May!

Peter J. Tomasi’s “Super League” is almost here!

Last month we revealed that Tomasi would pen eight issues of “Super League,” spanning SUPERMAN, BATMAN/SUPERMAN, SUPERMAN/WONDER WOMAN and ACTION COMICS over April and May of 2016. We showed some incredible cover artwork by Yanick Paquette, John Romita, Jr. and Klaus Janson, and Karl Kerschl, but we didn’t reveal how huge this story would be.

It’s going to be epic!

Did anyone notice that Mikel Janin is on art for SUPERMAN #51? With the upcoming solicitation of SUPERMAN #52 we thought it was time to give an early look at his interior pages for SUPERMAN #51 so you can see for yourself just how awesome this experience is going to be.

No context needed, just please enjoy the preview! And please let @mikeljanin and @DCComics know what you think! (if you go check out Mikel’s twitter feed, it’s obvious that he’s beyond excited!)
