Rags Morales to Pencil Adventures of Superman #636

Rags Morales will follow up his spectacular run on the best-selling IDENTITY CRISIS with ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN #636, a special issue written by Greg Rucka and inked by John Dell that ties into the murder-mystery miniseries.

In this issue, featuring a cover by J.H. Williams III and scheduled to ship on November 19, Superman, shaken by the shooting of Lois Lane and the events of IDENTITY CRISIS, tries to consult with Batman and Wonder Woman on the future of the DCU.

"I think the success of IDENTITY CRISIS can be attributed to how real its events feel, and half of that credit definitely falls to the powerful art that Rags puts down," says Group Editor Eddie Berganza. "So when his scheduled opened at the same time I was looking to give our regular penciller Matthew Clark a break it seemed perfect, especially since this was a direct follow-up to some of the events from IDENTITY CRISIS. I can't wait to see what he does with Greg Rucka's story and Superman's part in I.C.!"

"It's almost like the comics gods have smiled on me and offered me this incredible chance," says Morales. "I was thrilled to put in my first voucher for this story on October 21, which happens to be my birthday. I couldn't be more proud to get a crack at the best known comics icon in the entire world."
