According to the bigshinyrobot site Scott Lobdell will be taking over the writing duties and Kenneth Rocafort will take on the pencilling.
They also interviewed Scott Lobdell.
Here's some of the highlights.
Quote:
Scott Lobdell: Well the last time I was on a flagship title I stayed on for about five years! So trust me when I say that I am totally committed to writing SUPERMAN for at least twice that long.
Quote:
BY: In an economy where readers are being forced to stretch their comic book dollar, how is your Superman going to distinguish himself from the other Superman books?
SL: Forced? I don’t like to think we’re forcing anyone to buy anything… I like to think we’re providing readers with an opportunity to share an epic story rooted in a character that — some seven decades later — stands head and shoulders above all the other super heroes that have come after him.
As far as comparing Superman to the other books, I would say apples and oranges — if those apples and oranges had a bright red “S” on their chests! Grant [Morrison] does that great retro-freshness he does and Geoff [Johns] gives us an unbridled action movie every month — I’m determined to give you a Superman that surprises you from issue to issue.
That’s not hyperbole, either, when I finished the plot for the first issue I gasped!
And then I gasped again when editorial approved it!
Quote:
SL: “Pulling a new New 52!? I love your questions, Bryan!
Let me say that there will be tweaking aplenty — but I think it is going to be in terms of tone and attitude and not in history or continuity. We have no plans to reveal Lois is Superman’s daughter from an alternate future or that Perry White is actually an amnesic Jonathon Kent who has been in witness protection.
But yes, you’ll see from the very first issue — in fact, even in the Annual and the Zero issue before it — a Superman that is going to feel very of the moment.
More from the interview
One thing I'm confused about on the zero issues they all seem to be numbered #1 from what I've seen.
