GEOFF JOHNS + JOHN ROMITA JR. = next ‘SUPERMAN’ creative team

Romita Jr. does Superman.

It’s been rumored! Announced! Confirmed. John Romita Jr. and Geoff Johns will be the creative team on Superman.

SUPERMAN’S 75TH ANNIVERSARY LOGO is A LOGO.

NEW LOGO WEE.

DC has got itself a logo for Super-guy’s 75th anniversary. The logo itself isn’t really wonderful, but hey. At least it isn’t so garish that it makes my eyes bleed.
