Nick will be here on Wednesday November 11 at our 11AM opening for the debut of this new series. Be the first to get your copy---and get it signed by the artist.
And, of course, Nick will also be talking about plans for East of West and other projects he's working on.
Here's a bit about this new series:
Hollywood screenwriter and Eisner Award nominee Max Landis (Chronicle, American Ultra, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) joins forces with top comics artists including Nick Dragotta for SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN, a 7-issue miniseries chronicling the life of Clark Kent and his development into the archetypal hero he will eventually become.
But these are not the stories of the iconic "Superman" as you know him, but of the soft-spoken, charming, often-funny Kansas farm-boy behind the Man of Steel. With the tone of each issue ranging from heartwarming and simple, to frighteningly gritty and violent, to sexy, sun-kissed and funny, SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN is unlike anything you've seen before.
In the first issue, superstar artist Nick Dragotta (East of West, Fantastic Four) illustrates the story of Jonathan and Martha Kent as they struggle to deal with their 12-year-old son's latest quirk-he's been floating up into the air, sometimes hundreds of feet!

Anyone from the Bay Area planning on going? I am pretty sure I will attend.

I'd only go for the sake of having a laugh at Max Landis' expense over how poorly American Ultra did

So, just to let you guys know, the new Superman series by Landis and Dragotta is fantastic. Got to read the first issue last week, and it is quite good. The art is phenomenal but it is the story that makes the book. Landis is quite a *SQUEE* as a guy, having been at some parties with him and his "followers", but he really gets Superman.

It was pretty good. They had a small table set up with the new issue of Superman American Alien along with East of West TPBs. I didn't stay too long since I went during my lunch break. Normally there're only a few people in the store on weekdays. Yesterday there were 40-50 people there. I haven't read the issue yet but my understanding is that is a 7-issue mini but each issue is kind of a stand-alone by different artists.
