Ivan Reis, renowned penciller RANN/THANAGAR WAR, ACTION COMICS and more, has extended his exclusive agreement with DC Comics for an additional three years.

"I'm very happy with the new opportunity DC Comics has given me," says Reis. "This is a dream job for me. DC's characters are like gods, and working with them is beyond words. What more could I want? Working with (Group Editor) Eddie Berganza, (Senior Editor) Peter Tomasi and (Editor) Stephen Wacker is fantastic. I'm a very happy guy! I would like to thank (VP - Executive Editor, DCU) Dan DiDio and (Executive Director - Editorial Administration) Jack Mahan, who believed in my work and gave me the opportunity to continue on this great team."

"I started working with Ivan on ACTION COMICS, when the book's goal was just that: show action - and lots of it," says Berganza. "Not in my wildest dreams could I have predicted how adept Mr. Reis would become, and it didn't matter when we would increase the number of foes we threw at Superman or make the locales even busier. Ivan would draw them all, adding civilians, vehicles and even more chaos, giving it all a summer blockbuster feel. When we asked him to do THE TITANS/LEGION SPECIAL, he didn't even pause at the thought of pitting the two teams against the Fatal Five Hundred. What's even more amazing is that he gets better with each job! You can count on his next project to explode off the page!
