Superman: Action Comics #25 will be the first issue by new creative team, Greg Pak and Aaron Kuder, it's a return to the T-shirt and Jeans version of Superman who starred in the series towards the start of the New 52, and the one currently in Pak's Batman/Superman series. I'm pretty much certain that this issue is set in Metropolis, rather than Gotham, but it will take place around the same time as the other Zero-Year tie-ins. I'm quite looking forward to Pak and Kuder's run on this series ( just look at that cover! ), this issue is also said to debut a female character that DC say readers will recognise from before the New 52 was launched. Action Comics #25 will be released on November 6th.
Detective Comics #25 will be focusing on Jim Gordon six years before the New 52 started. It's Gordon before his first meeting with Batman and this issue has been described as "the warm-up to their meeting and the prelude to their inevitable partnership." by writer, John Layman. This issue is written and drawn by series regulars, the aforementioned John Layman and Jason Fabok. I'm glad this issue isn't going to be another just focused on what Batman's doing ( as the series was in previous crossovers, "The Night of the Owls" and "Death of the Family"), and that it's surrounding another major Gotham character. Batman: Detective Comics will also be released on November 6th.
So far, we've been told of nine books taking part in the crossover, and I remember reading that there'll be eleven in total, I'm also pretty sure that The Flash will be one of the remaining books still to have it's cover revealed.
I also remember reading that the crossovers take place during a pivotal moment of the main Zero-Year story, and I'm still trying to guess what it might be...
