ACTION COMICS #894Media Release -- Artist P. Craig Russell, illustrator of key issues of THE SANDMAN and THE SANDMAN: DREAM HUNTERS miniseries, has created a variant cover to ACTION COMICS #894 spotlighting Death and Lex Luthor.

This issue's lead feature is written by Paul Cornell, with art by Pete Woods and a cover by David Finch and Batt. In it, Lex Luthor finds himself literally at Death's door, which leads to a fascinating look not only into the mind of one of the all-time greatest villains, but also at what Death means in the DC Universe.

Plus: in the JIMMY OLSEN co-feature, by writer Nick Spencer and artists R.B. Silva and Denis Fritas, an alien race has chosen Metropolis to be the host of their millennial celebration! And who better to show them around town than James Bartholomew Olsen? But when the alien princess gets wasted and her brother starts picking bar fights, it's up to Jimmy to get things under control before all of Metropolis is destroyed!

Retailers may order one copy of the ACTION COMICS #894 Variant edition (AUG108173) for every ten copies of the standard edition (AUG100158) ordered.

ACTION COMICS #894 is on Final Order Cutoff on October 7 and is scheduled to arrive in stores on October 27.
