New 'Superman' project in 2010

Writer J. Michael Straczynski has revealed that DC Comics will launch a new Superman project in 2010.

The scribe, who is currently penning Batman series The Brave And The Bold, confirmed that he has agreed to work on a new venture featuring the Man of Steel.

"There's something I'm writing that'll be coming in late 2010 that should be of interest to a lot of folks, and it does have something to do with Superman - in graphic form, not film - but that's all I can say about it pending any announcements from DC," he told Newsarama.

Prior to his dealings with DC, Straczynski exclusively worked for Marvel, earning critical acclaim for his runs on Spider-Man and Thor. His contract with the publisher expired earlier this year.

DC Comics is expected to make an official announcement on its Superman project in the coming months.
