DC Comics has just announced annuals for Superman and Detective Comics set to come out on the 29th of August this year. These will follow up the annuals we are seeing out this month for Batman, Teen Titans, and Animal Man. The Detective Comics annual will be written by Tony Daniel and illustrated by Romano Molenaar and Sandu Florea. The Detective annual will focus on the Black Mask once again, a character Daniel has become rather familiar with drawing, but will now be writing. You can see the cover for the issue above, with art by Tony S. Daniel and Sandu Florea.

Keith Giffen will be handling writing duties on the Superman annual, which sounds a little reminiscent of some 1980′s X-men stories involving Mojo. “Ever wonder what’s out there beyond the farthest known reaches of the DC Universe?” Keith Giffen teasingly asks. “Superman’s about to get the answer to that – in spades – as we introduce an entirely new cosmic realm and drop him into the middle of it. The DC Universe’s cosmic presence is about to be dramatically expanded and it all starts with … a game show?” The annual will be 48-pages and involve the cosmic police force, the Green Lanterns, in an interest new way.
