  • Action Comics #1 confirmed by Grant Morrison and Rag Morales

    Hero Complex (who recently covered much bigger news, namely Green Lantern and Philosophy) has the exclusive reveal confirming Grant Morrison and Rags Morales on Action Comics #1, including the teaser image to the left. They also reveal the full title of Superman: The Man of Tomorrow #1 (with no mention of whether it is George Perez writing…

  • New Blue Beetle and Suicide Squad #1’s post-Flashpoint

    Awesome news–CBR just reported that Tony Bedard and Ig Guara will launch Blue Beetle #1 in September (starring Jaime Reyes), and Newsarama has news of a new Suicide Squad #1 from Adam Glass and Marco Rudy (starring Harley Quinn, Deadshot, and King Shark)… Now these sound good! Nice surprise late-day announcements…  

  • Bleeding Cool previews the new looks for Superman and Supergirl

    Not much more to say – check it out here! (Mind you, this is not an official announcement from DC–that will presumably come tomorrow.) Does the new, younger Supes look an awful lot like Superboy-Prime to anyone else?

  • Amazing variety of new #1s in DC’s latest announcement

    New #1's from The Source this morning, including Wildstorm folks, a Western anthology, and everyone's favorite Terminator (no, not you, Arnold) – read more, from the announcement: Stormwatch is a dangerous super human strike force whose existence is kept secret from the world. Jack Hawksmoor and the rest of the crew look to recruit two…

  • Uncanny X-Men ending in October with #544

    Wow, I guess Marvel wants part of the "shooting ourselves in the foot" action–the Associated Press (what, no love for comics blogs, Marvel?) just announced that Uncanny X-Men, the premier X-book among approximately 106 (give or take), will end in October with issue 544, as a result of the Schism event starting soon. (Or perhaps…

  • Scott Lobdell lets slip Superboy relaunch post-Flashpoint

    Oops–in his interview on Newsarama about his coming Red Hood title, writer Scott Lobdell says: Nrama: What do you think of the chance to launch a new #1 with the other titles in this relaunch? Lobdell: Well, without slighting Teen Titans and Superboy, I think Red Hood and the Outlaws is the perfect book to…

  • Teen Titans a “showcase” for Tim–but what about Stephanie?

    At the interview at iO9 commenting on this morning's #1 announcements, Dan Didio and Jim Lee had this to say about the Teen Titans and Tim in particular (emphasis mine): Kid Flash, Superboy, and Wonder Girl are part of the Titans roster, but they don't look exactly look like themselves. DD: All of these characters…

  • Five new DC #1s post-Flashpoint, including Titans, Legion… and Tim!

    The Source this morning brings us news of five new titles… and finally, the fate of Tim Drake, though it seems his ties to the world of Batman may be sevrered… From the page itself (too much information to try to summarize): Seven heroes from the 31st century have traveled back to the present day.…

  • More supernatural #1s from DC post-Flashpoint

    The Source has been updated with complete details of the supernatural #1s announced at Entertainent Weekly earlier this morning (including art teams), and many more. The highlights: Demon Knights #1 by Paul Cornell will feature, as many guessed, the Demon Etrigan (check out the incredible cover to the right) Resurrection Man #1 by Dan Abnett…

  • New #1s from the supernatural side of the new DCU

    This time at Entertainment Weekly, we hear of new #1s post-Flashpoint from the "darker" side of the new DCU: Swamp Thing #1 by Scott Snyder Animal Man #1 by Jeff Lemire (OK, not so dark–or is it?) Justice League Dark #1 by Peter Milligan, featuring John Constantine, Deadman, Shade the Changing Man, and Madame Xanadu…
