Superman is to feature in a 'New 52' crossover event this summer.
DC Comics editor Matt Idelson revealed via the Superman Homepage that the Man of Steel will star in a major storyline with Superboy and Supergirl.
"Many things that will be factors in [Action Comics] this year are being established in issues #5-6, Frank. Grant (with the help of guest-artist Andy Kubert) has sprinkled an incredible amount of fun hints inside a really challenging story.
"Meanwhile, Keith and Dan are plotting some really star-spanning stuff for Supes, though before that we'll be doing an event between Superman, Supergirl and Superboy in the summer. Superman hasn't met Superboy yet, and his relationship with Supergirl isn't exactly lovey dovey."
He added: "Seeing how they function as a unit under those circumstances should be interesting, to say the least."
Yesterday, DC confirmed that Batman: The Night of the Owls will be the first major crossover event of its 'New 52' era.
