Peachy Keen! Death of the Endless to Appear in Action Comics #894

I’ve never bought an issue of Action Comics before, but that’s all set to change. October’s issue is going to have a very special guest star: Death herself. And yes, according to The Source, Neil Gaiman approves.
Death is the second oldest of the Endless, and a major character in Neil Gaiman’s Sandman, which, though neither Vertigo or DC mention it very often, is a part of the DC Universe. Apparently, she has a date with Lex Luthor.
Ok, not a literal date, but that would explain why she’s bringing him flowers. It would also niche nicely with the effect she has on any mortal she meets before their actual death: they fall in love with her.
According to The Source:
Luthor, as fans of the series know, is in the midst of a storyline that takes him on a winding and dangerous quest for power – a quest that will bring the megalomaniacal villain into close proximity with characters in and beyond the far reaches of the DC Universe.
It doesn’t get much more far out than Death. Good luck, Mr. Luthor. Even when encountering the most, ah, social of the Endless, you’re going to need it. Here’s the full cover of Action Comics #894 (click for incredibly high rez):
