Brian Bendis left Marvel so he could work on Superman, and if anything shines through in the writer's work since he made the switch, it's his passion for the character. Whether on Superman or Action Comics, Bendis' love and reverence for the character is evident.

One of the best things about the writer's stint on the book thus far, though, has been his depiction of the character's supporting cast. Lois Lane in particular is so enjoyable to read in this series, and things look set to get even better in the summer with Event Leviathan, with Bendis assembling a veritable who's-who of DC's finest sleuths to solve a mystery.

Lois, Manhunter (Kate Spencer), Batman, Green Arrow, Plastic Man and the Question (!!!) are all set to join Supes to unravel the upcoming mystery, and so far it looks as though it'll possess all the trappings of a classic DC crossover.

Even more exciting, however, is the fact that Alex Maleev is joining Bendis for the ride. The two worked magic on Daredevil back in the early noughties, and it looks as though lightning could be about to strike twice.
