King wrote a multiple award-winning Mister Miracle comic series with artist Mitch Gerads in 2017,ཧ turning the semi-obscure hero into a compelling leading man in one of the most emotional superhero comics of the modern era.

Now, King, who was at one time on board to write a New Gods film for director Ava Duvernay which would have featured Mister Miracle among other 👍characters, is turning his attention to an animated adaptation of his comic.

For those not in t♏he know, Mister Miracle AKA Scott Free is the DC Universe's greatest escape artist. He's the son of Highfather, leader of the heroic New Gods, but was raised under a torturous upbringing by the villainous Darkseid. He's married to Big Barda, one of the strongest women in the universe.

Here's the full logline for the show:

"No prison can hold him. No trap can contain him. He is Scott Free, the worldwide celebrity sensation known as Mister Miracle, and he is the greatest escape artist who ever lived. But can he pull off the ultimate trick – and escape death itself?

"Something has gone horribly wrong with the perfect life that Scott and his warrior wife Big Barda have built for themselves on Earth. With war raging between their home worlds of Apocalypse and New Genesis, Scott’s cruel adoptive father Darkseid seems to have finally captured the Anti-Life Equation – the ultimate weapon that will give Darkseid total dominance over the universe.

"As the mountains of bodies on both sides grow ever higher, only Mister Miracle can stop the slaughter and restore peace. But the terrible power of the Anti-Life Equation may already be at work in his own mind, warping his reality, exposing his long-buried pain, and shattering the fragile happiness he’s found with the woman he loves. And so begins the odyssey of Scott Free, Mister Miracle: a harrowing, hilarious, heart wrenching journey across the pitfalls of the ordinary and extraordinary as the son of God raised by the devil tries to save his family, his world, and maybe even himself."

In King's comic, Mister Miracle deals with extreme depression and self-harm as his reality begins to crumble around him while trying to raise his infant son. It's an emotionally harrowing tale that digs deep into the humanity of characters who have been billed💟 as "gods."

No network or streaming service has been announced for Mister Miracle yet. The new DC Universe expands with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:James Gunn's Superman on July 11. For more, check out our list of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows.

Among superhero fans, these are more debates than questions with solid answers. And with trailers for director James Gunn's Superman showing a version of the character 🧔who is susceptible to a certain level of pain and injury, the debate is raging again.

Gunn's Superman is꧅ ꦇshown dealing with serious bodily injuries – not the more metaphysical kind inflicted by the power of🦩 Kryptonite – and even undergoing painful medical treatments by his attendant robots.

For some, that's a bridge too far in terms of Superman's vulnerability. Coupled with very few feats of super strength shown in the tr💮ailers, it's got a certain group of vocal Superman fans up in arms with their perceivedꦿ understanding of how powerful James Gunn's Man of Steel will actually be in the movie.

But for me, a lifelong fan of Superman and a reader of comics from across his nearly 90 year lifespan, the show of vulnerability feels more like an attempt to grapple with Superman's shifting power levels on screen, and a way to lull fans into under-preparedness for what I am hoping will be ♉some truly cosmic spectacle.

For one thing, I'm personally not expecting DC Studios to show us the coolest stuff in the trailers. We've barely seen Superman in action, aside from a scant few clips fighting Ultraman and the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Hammer of Boravia.

We don't actually even know how the injuries seen in the trailer were caused. For all we know right now, he actually is weakened by Kryptonite when he's hurt in the f𒈔ilm, a condition under which Superman can canonicꦑally be gravely injured.

All of that speculation aside, Superman's power levels have varied wildly throughout his history, and even from creator to creator. There is a relatively consistent bas𝓰eline to Superman's strength in the modern era, but each portrayal of the Man of Steel across media has its own interpretation of what he can do.

The history of Superman's powers

Following Superman's original debut in 1938's Action Comics #1, his powers were described as being "fasteꩲr than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound", and able to withstand any attack short of an explodꦉing shell.

For a few years, those were essentially the limits of Superman's powers. He didn't fly until 1940's Adventures of Superman radio show, which introduced numerous aspects of the character's mythos, including Kry꧃ptonite.

From there, Superman's powers ballooned through the rest of the Golden Age of the '40s and early '50s, through the Silver Age of 💖the '60s and early '70s. His classic powers were all established, including X-Ray and microscopic vision, super freeze-breath, heat vision, full on flight, speed beyond the capability of even the fastest craft, and of course, cosmic level super strength powerful enough to move planets, and nigh-invulnerability which can traditionally only be countered by kryptonite, magic, or sometimes, someone even stronger than him, like the villain Doomsday꧂ who actually managed to kill Superman in the early '90s.

He also acc🦹rued dozens of strange minor powers that were used only a few times before fading into obscurity, including things like his amnesiac super-kiss and being able to reverse time by flying backwards around the Earth which were later adapted into 1978's beloved Superman movie and its sequels.

It wasn't until♓ 1985's Crisis on Infinite Earths, which rebooted most of DC's comic continuity, that Superman's modern power levels were essentially established - massive super strength, nigh-invulnerability, super-senses, x-ray and heat vision, freeze breath, super speed, and fligh𝔉t.

Heroes of myth

Though there's a generally agreed upon range of Superman's abilities, the true answer to how powerful he is will prove remarkably frustrating to a certai🌠n strain of tire-kicking fans, especially since DC declared that all of Superman's comic book history, across all the reboots, relaunches, and changes in his powers, are canonical whether that fully makes sense or not.

Because the truth is, Superman's power levels, like 🍨those of all fictional characters, are entirely malleable at all times based on the situation he's in, the story being told, and the people telling it.

Superhero comics have often be𝓡en compared to modern myths, and more than just about any other superhero continuity, the DC Universe l🌄ives up to that idea, both in the godlike feats undertaken by its undeniably powerful heroes, and in the fluid, ever-shifting nature of their personalities and abilities.

Superman, like the quintessential Greek hero Heracles (or Hercules, if you're into that sort of thing) is less a quไantifiable Ivan Drago strongman, whose highest output punches are duly recorded to history, than he is a being of storied myth whose capabilities are determined by what makes for the best spinning of the yarn, and whose feats and adventures have evolved across countless tellings of their tales.

I don't bring up Heracles in particular for nothing. Superman writer/director James G🌊unn has cited Grant Mor🧸rison and Frank Quitely's fabled All-Star Superman as a major inspiration on his film - a comic which itself takes not insignificant inspiration from the classic concept of the 12 labors of Heracles, with Superman promising to complete a series of wondrous tasks before he dies due t𓂃o toxic over-ꦇexposure to Earth's yellow sun, the source of fuel for his Kryptonian powers.

It's another turn of the cycle of myth, as the core idea of a man whose strength beyond strength is directly equitable to the parable on which it rests echoes directly into Gunnꦅ's telling of Superman's story.

Superman's official power levels

While I'm personal♔ly very much in the "wait-and-seeಞ, it's all just a story" camp in terms of how Superman's vaunted strength will be portrayed in Gunn's film, I also understand the impulse to dig into the debate around exactly what Supes can do.

I grew up🃏 going to comic stores, lurking in the racks of new and old issues, in heated conversation with my fellow fans about whether Superman or th༺e Hulk is stronger, which heroes might be able to lift Thor's hammer, and so on.

That's part of the magic of superhero fandom, th🃏e characters and their stories engender these conversations and creative ideas among fans. We're invited directly into the world of the Marv🎃el and DC Universes in a way other fiction rarely offers.`

But there's a special aspect to that magic that can be lost in the conversation around how stroﷺng Superman actually is, which is that every fan gets to see it for themself and imagine their own delineation of a character's limits. There are guides along the way, important and memorable scenes from our favorite stories that stick in our mind as examples of just what our most beloved heroes can do.

It's that individualized perception that has kept superhero comics fresh across changing creative perspectives, which will hopefully allow James Gunn to craft a compelling portrayal of the world's greatest superhero, and which ꦕenables the debate in the first place.

And anyway, we haven't even seen the movie yet.

"Since it is out there. Peter David passed away last night. We are devastated. More when I can write about it," reads the simple announcing his May 24 death🌠.

Peter David's comic career began in 1985 with a series of Spider-Man stories, including the now classic tale 'The Death of Jean DeWolff.' This was quickly followed by a run on Hulk that wound up lasting for 12 years, including the creation of Bruce Banner's extra-intelligent 'Professor Hulk' persona, and the flash-forward story Avenge♛rs: 𝓀Future Imperfect, which introduced the Maestro, an evil dictator version of Hulk who became the arch-enemy of his former teammates.

David's other major Marvel work included co-creating Spider-Man 2099, turning Genis-Vell into a new Captain Marvel, and of course, a years-long run on X-Factor that took the team through multiple incarnations, fro🌃m a government-sponsored mutant team, to a private investigation agency, and even into the world of corporate superheroes.

David also wrote for DC throughout the '90s, with especially notable runs on Aquaman and Supergirl. For the former, David is responsible for relaunching Aquaman in the '90s, revamping him from a colorful adventurer to a sea-fari꧙ng badass with a savage, bearded look and a hook haꦿnd. And for Supergirl, David wrote an 81-issue run that rebooted the character not as a Kryptonian survivor, but as a genetically-engineered alien weapon who took on a form that honored Superman.

Thro🧜ughout his career, David won numerous awards, including multiple Eisner Awards. He was also well-known aꦆs a prose writer, particularly for his work on numerous Star Trek novels, including some of the best selling Trek novels of all time.

And if that's not enough, Marvel and DC are enlisting a who's wh🅺oꩲ of all-star writers and artists for the one-shots, including legendary Batman creators Grant Morrison and Greg Capullo, both known for their extensive and transformative work on the Caped Crusader.

For the first one-shot, Marvel's Deadpool/Batman #1, writer Zeb Wells is joined by Capullo on art, while DC's companion piece, Batman/Deadpool #1 willꩲ be written by Morrison with art by ಌcurrent DC superstar artist Dan Mora.

"After writing Amazing Spider-Man for 60 issues, I told Marvel I needed a break. Marvel told me I could do that or I could write a comic starring Deadpool and Batman with the best Batman artist of our generation. I no longer needed a break," Wells states. "In Batman we've found someone who has even less time for Deadpool's antics than Wolverine, but a city-wide threat from the Joker makes strange bedfellows (literally, if Deadpool had his way). It's been a blast letting Deadpool loose in Gotham City and watching what happens.ဣ"

"Am I dreaming? This crossover is likely to be the high point of my career...and, I've꧅ had a great career," Capullo adds. "Some of my earliest work (many years ago) was on X-Force, so Deadpool and I go way back. More recently, I spent 10-plus years drawing Batman at DC. The idea that I get to do a crossover event with Deadpoolꦉ and Batman...If I am dreaming, please don't wake me!"

"I don't do many comics these days but there was no way I c🎀ould turn down the chance to work with Dan Mora again, one of my all-time favourite artistic collaborators - and definitely no way I could turn down Batman and Deadpool!" says Grant Morrison. "Expect 4th wall busting mayhem, owls, blood, blaღdes, and at least one giant typewriter!"

"This is more than I ever imagined I could do in my career, and it is a huge honor to be partဣ of this crossover: it doesn't happen too often, and I am a HUGE Deadpool fan!" states Dan Mora. "When I first worked with Grant, I didn't know what to expect but it was an incredible team-up. I always hoped to work with Grant again, and working on Batman/Deadpool is like a dream come true. Grant and I working together on this once-in-a-lifetime project is going to be such a fun experience."

As st﷽ated, Batman and Deadpool will go up against none other than the Joker, who may just meet his match in Deadpool's wacky ways. There's also a whole slate of back-up stories in each one-shot written by some of the top creators in the biz, though their names have yet to be revealed.

The storyℱ kicks off in September 17's Deadpool/Batman #1, followed by Batman/Deadpool #1 in Nꦺovember.

The thing 💖is, the villain known as the Hammer of Boravia is actually a newly created character for Superman𝕴 - a character who doesn't come from comics at all. There is a fictional nation known as Boravia in comics, but it doesn't have its own hero.

Speculation around the character has skyrockete💛d since his name was revealed, with many people guessing that the so-called "H✨ammer of Boravia" is a misdirect to avoid showing Lex Luthor's classic purple and green battle armor, his armor recolored for the trailer to keep the secret.

That's not impossible, but the fact is, the 🍒armor doesn't look much like an♍y version of Luthor's armor, regardless of color scheme. And we've also seen armored Luthor troops in purple and green armor of their own, which also doesn't resemble this.

Maybe Gunn pulled the same trick Marvel Studios once played on viewers by subbing in Hulk in the trailer for Avengers: Infinity Wars in scenes that actually featured the Hulkbuster armor in the final movie. But would DC fork over the money and manpower it takes to fake a whole CG character? Probabl𒉰y not, especially considering Marvel's bait-and-switch was the subject of a lawsuit.

It may be more likely that there is in fact a comic inspi🃏ration behind the Hammer of Boravia - ℱjust not one that's readily visible without a bit of digging.

That character is Rocket Red, or in fact the Rocket Red Brigade, a team of armored supersoldiers who served as the heroes of the USSR in the '80s DC Universe, one of whom even went on to join the Justice League International - a team that also included Superman's Green Lantern, Guy Gardner (Nathan Fillion), and which was organized by Maxwell Lord, who is played by Sean Gunn in Superman and in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Peacemaker season 2.

If you look closely at the Hammer of Boravia's armor, it features a sash-like stripe across the torso flanked by a star - the same emblem of the Rock🌳et Red Brigade, but with gold swapped in for red, since the USSR hasn't been a thing since the early '90s.

Is the Hammer of Boravia definitely𒈔 a Rocket Red palette-swap? We'll never know unless James Gunn someday spills the beans on the character's official inspiration. But the connection isn't so far-fetched, given the aesthetic similarities and the fact th💃at Gunn is already drawing heavily on the cast of Justice League International.

Appropriately titled Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum, the DC Black Label limited series will run for five issues, each of which will show the effects of a different ℱtype of Kryptonite as Superman makes his way through what DC describes as an "existential superhero fantasy/horror" story that will actually introduce several new varieties of the deadly element.

Here's a gallery 🐽of interior pages from the new series, along with a series of varian🌠t covers by variant covers by Tula Lotay, Juan Ferreyra, a foil variant cover by Wes Craig, and a variant cover by Alex Eckman-Lawn:

"Four new Kryptonites have been discovered in deep space, and Superman needs to know just what, exactly, they do to him - lest the colorful rocks of his home planet fall into evil hands!" reads DC's official description. "With Batman at his side, this DC Black Label Superman five-issue event explor𓃲es the consequences of each never-before-seen variety of Kryptonite—all in the formal, and boundary-pushing fashion, that Prince, Morazzo, and O'Halloran are celebrated for.✃"

"We've developed a reputation for pretty left-of-center experimentation, with respect to comics storytelling," says writer Maxwell Prince in a statement. "and this is basically what we're doing over the 5 issues of Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum: using our u♓nique voice in comics to tell a Supes yarn that's both strange and timeless - out there and also totally grounded. You might know what Green, Red and Black Kryptonite does to Superman, but what about Purple? Or Cobalt? Or Speckled?"

Rucka will write and Scott will draw a new limited series titled Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League, in which the two feline villains recruit a team of villains that the publisher is b🤡illing as "the perfect heist crew" to steal from DC's premiere superhero team.

Rucka and Scott are joined by color artist Annette Kwok and letterer Troy Peteri for the heist which will send the 💙villains into Justice League territory to steal "one of the most dangerous devices in the DCU."

It hasn't been revealed what that device is just yet, but there are some seriously deadly weapons in the DC Universe that could cause havoc in the wrong hands. Before it's all revealed, we've got an early look at interꦇior pages from Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1, along with the main cover by Scott Kwok.

Check it out:

"Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League showc𓄧ases titular characters Cheetah and Cheshire meticulously planning and ✤executing a bold heist – robbing the most secure facility in the DC Universe – and getting away with it!" reads DC's official description of Cheetah and Cheshire Rob the Justice League #1.

"But to accomplish the impossible, Cheetah and Cheshire need to recruit a top-tier crew capable of beating not just the odds, but the Justice League themselves… all without stabbing one another in the back as they try to acquire one of the most dangerous devices in the DCU!" it continues. "All that stands between the participants in this six-issue caper and pulling off the most daring extraction in DC history are a few tiny complications… like the most sophisticated orbital platform ever construꦛcted, its AI-driven security sys🌜tem, and one other thing… the smartest and most powerful heroes in the DCU."

"This is my dog Ozu barking at the screen," Gunn explains in a video posted to socia🍷l media, showing Ozu having a bit of a fit while watching the n𒀰ow familiar trailer scene where Krypto tries to play with an injured Superman, only to finally save him by taking him back to the Fortress of Solitude.

"Krypto was actually 3D modeled after Ozu's body," Gunn con🌞tinues. "We 3D captured Ozu and turned him into Krypto. We turned him white. And anyway, every time he sees himself come on screen, he tries to murder him𓆏self."

Gunn previously revealed that Ozu was the ins🔯piration for Krypto, explaining how he adopted Ozu (who is presumably named after Japanese director Yasujirō Ozu), with the pup's difficult circumstances inspiring Gunn's inclusion of Krypto in the movie.

"Krypto was inspired by our dog Ozu, who we adopted shortly after൲ I started writing Superman," Gunn stated back in October. "Ozu, who came from a hoarding situation in a backyard with 60 other dogs & never knew human be𝓰ings, was problematic to say the least."

"He immediately came in & destroyed our home, our shoes, our furniture - he even ate my laptop," Gunn explained. "It took a long time before he would even let us touch him. I rem🐷ember thinking, 'Gosh, how difficult would life be if Ozu had superpowers?' - and thus Krypto came into the script & changed the shape of the story as Ozu was changing my life."

T꧅he Fantastic Four: First Steps director Matt Shakman shows off the epic s𒈔ets of the FF's Baxter Building headquarters, explaining how his approach to making the movie relies on the presence of actual, physical elements on set, down to building a full suit for the film's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:gigantic villain Galactus rather than relying solely on digital effects. He likens his process to that of legendary auteur director Stanley Kubric💧k "within reason."

Filmmaker James Gunn posts a ♔series of behind-the-scenes photos from his upcoming Superman reboot movie, showing off the film's many locations, its physical sets for iconic locations such as the Daily Planet offices, its swath of impressive superhero costumes, and even 澳洲幸运5ꦏ开奖号码历史查询:the methods used to make Superman fly without replacing actor David Corenswet with a digitally rendered double. Many of the imagꦗes reveal other aspects of the production hiding in the background as physical Easter eggs for eagle-eyed fans.

It's all part of a wave of marketing for this summ⭕er's trio of big, superhero blockbuster films which Marvel and DC have been subtly selling to the public as both a reꦚset and a return to form for the genre, which has become bogged down by the perception of so-called "superhero fatigue."

And the point the♒y're all making is this: the big superhero movie studios still know how to make fully-realized blockbuster films tha🤪t are action-packed and visually impressive while also pulling on our heartstrings with authentic characters and stories.

Embracing the spectacle

Will 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Thunderbolts*, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Superman make good on that promise? We'll have to wait and see (though Thunderbolts* is setting the stage well with overwhe🌜lmi▨ngly positive reactions). But the premise certainly rings true.

In an environment where the narrative of superhero fatigue is winning thanks to the proliferation of stitched-together, greenscreen-driven movies that do more to add threads to an ever-expanding canvas of plotlines than to🍸 tell their own impactful♌ stories, a return to fully-formed blockbuster filmmaking that embraces true spectacle as a vector for meaningful narratives is like a cool balm.

There's a strong reason why stunt and effects driven action franchises such as John Wick, James Bond, The Fast and the Furious, and Mission: Impossible have managed to weather the criticisms that have come to define their counterparts in the current superhero movie landscape while spawning their own spin-offs, prequels, and so on: they all manage to find ways to actually truly impress us with their feats of filmmaking♐ and with the authenticity of their storytelling.

Even a franchise like The Fast and the Furious, which essentially stars superheroes whose powers are being really good at cars, manages to remain in the public's good graces by stayin🐭g true to its filmmaking potential as it takes its movies to lofty and ridiculous new heights, like laun﷽ching its heroes, once simple street racers, into outer space.

There's another component to Marvel and DC's new practical-filmmaking-forward approach to marketing their new films, which is th🦂e seesaw balancing act of utilizing all the tools of a massive movie studio while also bringing in filmmakers with a vision th♑at translates to the level of stories being told.

Some of Marvel's less popular recent films such as Eternals and Thor: Love and Thu൲nder struggled with allowing their directors to put their own sensibilities and voices into their movies while also fulfilling the expectations of superhero movie fans. Showing us that there are people working behind-the-scenes who understand that balance, and who prize the same things as beleaguered fans, makes a ton of sense.

A return to blockbuster cinema

When considered alongside the common refrain of "greenscreen slop" that has accompanied films like DC's The Flash and Marvel's Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania, and the increasingly byzantine internal references that such films have cou🧜nted on to keep fans invested, it's easy to see why Marvel and DC are eager to remind moviegoers that they still understand what good, tentpole blockbuster movies actually are, and how to make them.

These are the qualities that people loved about the 🧸original Avengers saga. There was a strong humanity to the characters and a voice to their films that, even when they weren't entirely successful, made them feel new and fresh.

And coupled with the groundbreaking feeling of seein꧅g the Marvel Universe formed before our eyes in a way we'd never experienced on film, it all felt like a cultural event, a reason to see and talk about movies – not just a checklist of new charact♈ers and new concepts that may or may not register with a wider audience, let alone continue on into later appearances.

Again, the question remains as to whether Thunderbolts*, The Fantastic Four: First Steps, and Superman will succeed, let alone whether Marvel and DC will be able to follow up on their potential wins by learning the right lessons. But for the first time in a long time, I'm actually excited about the 🦂'movie' side of superhero movies, and their potential to carry forward the tradition of blockbuster filmmaking into a new era.

Thunderbolts is now in theaters (澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:read our review right here). Superman releases on July 11, followed by 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Fantastic Four: First Steps on July 25. In the meantime, stay up to date on all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:new superhero movies and shows planned for release in 2025 and beyond.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Sgt. Rock would have been helmed by Challengers director Luca Guadanino, with Daniel Craig, who worked with Guadanino on his film Queer, originally on board to star as the army hero who has a history alongside the superheroes of the DC Universe. However, Craig dropped out, leading to a flurry of potential castings, with Colin Farrell the last actor to be attached𒐪 to the role.

The film was written by Justin Kuritzkes, who wrote Guadanino's films Challengers and Queer, whos💟e script was reportedly considered so strong that it helped fast track the script into the DC Studi𓂃os slate.

It's unclear exactly why the film has been backburnered, with reports indicating that DC Studios balked at the film's relatively small $70 million budget, perhaps because Guadanino's action chop♎s were in question.

The script reportedly centered on a World War II era plot in which Sgt. Rock teams with a French resistance fighter (likely Mademoiselle Marie, an ally of Rock's from comics) team up to track down the Spear of Destiny, an artifact supposedly used to stab Jesus Christ 𓃲when he was being crucified.

In DC history, Nazi leadership was obsessed with finding the Spear of Destiny during WWII as a way to counteract꧑ the many American superheroes who joined forces as the DC Universe's firs✅t superhero team, the Justice Society of America.

The new DC Universe kicked off with Max's Creature Comforts animated streaming series, and continues with Superman, its first film, in July. In the meantime, check out our guide to the other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies on the way in 2025 and beyond.

Taking a wild, psychedelic approach to the eponymous character, Absolute Martian Manhunter completely reinvents the entire concept of one of DC's oldest heroes in a way that feels like the best argument yet for DC's Absolute line. And with Absolu🦩te Martian Manhunter #2 out now, I'm incredibly excited about the artistic potential that the comic r♍epresents for DC.

Many of DC's Absolute relaunches have had radical new takes on their heroes, but they ultimately take familiar forms - the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:last son of a dead world, the only warrior standing 🔥between humans and the monsters of myth, a traumatized man t𒀰raining his body and mind to r💙id his city of corruption, and so on.

But Absolute Martian Manhunter takes the reinvention of its hero even further, turning ไthe extra terrestrial hero into a being even more alien than the clas🍎sic version who debuted all the way back in 1955.

In the Absolute Universe, the Martian Manhunter isn't technically a "Martian" at all - it's a non-physical being from a planet so far from Earth that it may as well be another dimension who communicates through clouds of rainbow-colored psyche𓆏delic smoke.

This being is psychically bonded with officer John Jones when Jones goes through a life-and-death experience that leaves them inextricably connected. The action escalates as the so-called "martian" tries to use its powers of precognition to goad Jon💎es into averting a tragedy, while Jones tries to simply make sense of the impossible visions unfolding before his eyes.

It's all gorgeously rendered by Javier Rodriguez, who takes the art from pencils to colors, a rare undertaking for a comic artist. Rodriguez starts from a tried-and-true comic style that channels the familiar tone of the Silver Age while also blasting it into psychic space with waves ♋of color and blasts of violence that jar both the characters and reader loose from any sense of comfort.

In💖 both art and story, Absolute Martian Manhunter feels like a serious attempt to both embrace the '50s sci-fi vibes of Joseph Samachson and Joe Certa's original creation while also using more modern theories of extraterrestrial existence to tไake the character in a totally new direction.

Like Jack Kirby, the all-time great writer/artist who created and co-creဣated most of the Marvel Universe along with a g🍎ood chunk of DC as well, Camp channels popular modes of esoteric thought into Absolute Martian Manhunter.

In Kirby's case, this took the form of the secret, alien history of the Marvel Universe using ideas drawn from America occultist Edgar Cayce and his contemporaries who wrote on lost mystical societies such as Atlantis and Lemuria, both long since incorporated into Marvel lo𝔍re.

For Camp, this seems to mean embracing ideas pioneered by the likes of John Keel, best known for his modern occult journalistic tome The Mothman Prophecies, with aliens that are less physical beings in fl♌ying craft as in the popular imagery of the '50s, and more psychic beings from beyond the veil of physical reality taking shape in the popular consciousness.

Whether it's Camp's direct intent to channel these ideas, along with even more esoteric concepts like the idea of spiritual beings who impart morality to special receivers from another dimension, they come through on the page, culminating🅰 in the most daring and w🍃elcome reinvention of the Absolute DC Universe yet.

Absolute Martian Manhunte💛r #3 goes on sale May 28.

"I don't need to do these things anymore, I only do it if it's something interesting," Morrison tells the (via ). "It's not Superman, but itꦉ's a Batm♈an thing."

Morrison's Batman revolutionized the modern portrayal of the character, bringing in his son Damian, reintroducing long-lost sci-fi sty𓄧le elements of Batman's Silver Age era, and even apparently kiꦺlling Batman in the story Batman RIP (he was technically displaced in time).

While Bruce Wayne was out of the picture, Morrison ele😼vated Dick Grayson from Nightwing into the role of Batman. T🐎hey likewise brought Bruce's son Damian Wayne on as Grayson's own Robin, introducing an exciting new dynamic where Grayson, himself the original Robin, was a more upbeat Batman with Damian Wayne's brooding Boy Wonder in tow.

Despite featuring one of the most mainstream superheroes there is, Morrison's Batman was one of their most esoteric works, digging into concepts of brainwashing, ritual magic, time travel, and long-lost evil specters of Bruce꧋ Wayne's past.

In the decade-plus since they've written Batman, Morrison hasn't gotten less mystical or mindful, so it's particularly exciting to consider whatꦏ their approach to the Caped C🐼rusader will be in the modern era.

Matt Fraction will soon take over the main Batman title, meaning two of the most acclaimed modern comic writers might be writing Batman at the same time.

Here's the photo. Take notice of the picture on the desk of Beck Bennett's sports reporter Steve Lombard, which appears to be an autographed picture of a house c✅at:

There is in fact a famous housecat in the Superman mythos, Supergirl's cat Streaky, who is a stripe๊y orange cat with all the powers of a Kryptonian, much like Superman's dog Krypto. Is it possible that Streaky exists in the new DC Universe as well? It's not impossible, especially as we already know that Supergirl is definitely around.

Here's a closer look at the photo:

Jimmy Olsen, the Daily Planet's cub reporter, first appeared on an episode of the famed Superman radio serial that also introduced several ot😼her important characters and concepts to Supe𝓡rman's world that were later brought into comics, including Daily Planet editor-in-chief Perry White (to be played by Wendell Pierce in the upcoming film) and even Kryptonite.

In terms of other Kryptonian animals, at one point, the♔re were actually a few, including Comet the Super-Horse and Beppo the Super-Monkey, who joined up with Kry♋pto and Streaky to form the original Legion of Super-Pets, a concept that was later adapted into the 2022 animated film The League of Super-Pets.

James Gunn doesn't seem to be shying away from the more sci-fi oriented aspects of Superman's story with the upcoming film, even apparently 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:including Lex Luthor's classi൲c power armor, so it's definitely not impossible that there are other super-pets in the movie besides Krypto. And notoriously arrogant himbo Steve Lombard having an 🌸autographed picture of Streaky would be a pretty funny touch.

Superman hits theaters on July 11, 2025. In the meantime, keep updated with every other 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movie and TV show heading our way.

澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Mark Waid is writing both titles, and along with artists Travis Moore, Clayton Henry, Dan McDaid, and Dan Mora, he's crafting a four part event that brings the underrated Grodd to the forefront, pulling together threads that have been dangling throughou🐈t his Justice League Unlimited run as well as World's Finest.

Newsarama spoke with Waid about the first two chapter🌟s of We Are Yesterday, with part one appearing in Batman/Superman: World's Finest #38, and part two arriving with Justice League Unlimited #6, digging into Grodd as a Justice League level threat, how We Are Yesterday ties into Waid's current work on tying all of DC history into a single cohesive timeline, and how We Are Yesterday will lead into what's next for the Justice League.

Newsarama: Mark, We Are Yesterday is the first big Justice League crossover of the current era of the DC Universe. Contrasting that with the final event of the previous status quo, Absolute Power, this story feels like a much more straightforward hero vs. villain story with the League taking on Grodd. How did you come to this concept as the way to go for this story?

Mark Waid: It actually began with the fact that World's Finest #38 and #39 and Justice League Unlimited #6 and #7 needed different artists to give the regular artists time 💞to catch up. So I said, well, let's make it special. Let's do something where those four issues don't feel like fill-ins in their big events.

It sprang from that, and then I realized, OK, I need a menace big enough. Who can we get? Well, the Legion of Doom makes sense… Except they're not around in the current day. So how do we fix that? Everything became a domino toppling over another domino. Aꦰnd when it's all said and done, we've got a story.

You've done stories that connect the past and future of the DC Universe before - I'm thinking of the Devil Nezha arc that led into Lazarus Planet, for example. In the case of We Are Yesterday, the connection is even more direct between past and present. What led you to want to bring these two timelines together in such a tangible way?

Well, like you said, I like doing that with World's Finest to remind people that it is not an Elsewo❀rlds. It is not, you know, it is not out of continuity. Even though it takes place a few years ago, we remind you every once in a while that it has a place in the DC Universe. So that was my starting point.

But then I started thinking about Grodd and his motivations and his goals. You know, Grodd wants something big. I mean,🅘 he's got to take on the entire Justice League Unlimited. So to do that, he really wants to put the band back together, right? But he can't really. Luthor's reformed. Sinestro is off planet. You know, Joker is god on😼ly knows where - there's no way to put them together the way they are today.

But he, with the help of Airwave, he realizes he can put them back together, back in the day, go to them and say, "I got news for you. I'm from the futu🍌re, and not much happens in the next five years. You know, you don't make a whole lot of headway. As a matter of fact, you lose a lot of ground. So why don't you come with me to the present day, and we will shake things up."

I'm glad you brought up Grodd, because I feel like he's such an underrated villain, with so much potential to be this kind of mastermind at the heart of a threat to the entire DC Universe. I just want to talk a little bit about Grodd and how you came to him as the main threat here. Obviously you have a long history with his arch-enemy the Flash.

Well, I mean, it made sense to me, in that I like Grodd's motivation. Grodd's motivation is, humans keep screwing up the world. So🏅 why do we have them? Let's make it notღ just Gorilla City, but Gorilla Planet.

I'm also reflective of the fact that he was Flash's first really big villain. People don't remember that he appeared in three consecutive issues of Flash. When he first a🤪ppeared, Mirror Master was showing up like every five issues, and you know, Captain Boomerang is showing up every 10 issues, but Grodd right off the bat was meant to be his arch-enemy, and that's kind of fallen by the wayside over the years.

So let's get that back on the table, because he is a lot more powerful than most people give him credit for, especially now that his powers have augmented to the point where h🌺e is now the most powerful telepath and mentally powered character in the DC uౠniverse.

We were talking just briefly before we started the interview about the whole team of creators that you've got working on this story. How has it been working in that kind of collaborative environment again? It's something you're very used to in the DC universe.

It's great. It requires an inordinate amount of coordination this time, because everything's being done at once. All the chapters are sort of being𒐪 done by three different artists. You got Clayton Henry, and you got Travis Moore, and you got Dan McDade, so yeah. And they're all working🌊 at the same time, so we're constantly scrambling to make sure of, you know, which version of Scarecrow this is, or how to draw the time pool or whatever.

So a lot of references are flying back and forth, but 🍌everybody was very cooperative, and shared each other's pages with each other as they went, to make sure that everybody knew where they stood and everything could be consis🐎tent.

Actually, we do have four artists because Dan Mora has joined the last chapter. Everyone's bringing their A-game, everyone's stepping up. Everyone is not complaining that there are 35 characters on every page. God bless them. It's just so much fun to work ꦇwith people who are super talented and super committed.

In the last 10 or 15 years or so, it kind of feels like DC has been reckoning a little bit with its own past, trying to fit together all these 80 years of stories into a sort of canon. How much are stories like We Are Yesterday an attempt to totally reconnect the past and present of the DC Universe. And what do you kind of see as the status quo in 2025?

Boy, there's a lot to unpack there. I think that you're right. Trust me, as the guy who is writing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:New History of the DC Universe, it is a major undertaking to make the DC Universe as it stands no🥀w consistent, and that is something we're working hard on. Luckily, the guy who is writing New History 🌠of the DC Universe is also writing We Are Yesterday, so that helps keep all the continuity straight.

I will say this though. In the DC Universe, because of the Omega Energy that keeps popping up, not only on the Justice League Watchtower, but all over the DC Universe, time is breaking. And we've got bigger developments along those lines co⭕ming up in the next few months. Time has a problem. Since we've sealed off the Multiverse, something else is happening and time is fracturing and paradoxes are happening that nobody can figure out.

Like, why do the villains not remember what happened five years ago? Why don't the present day villains remember 💙Grodd recruiting them in the past? None of it is an alternate timeline, things are just screwy, and that's goin൲g to be something that builds as we get to the climax of the story.

You mentioned the Omega energy, and building to the next part of the story. Obviously, that's something that kind of started with the birth of the Absolute Universe. How connected are you to what's going on over there?

Obviously, they're different realities, but you've got to be paying attention to that on some level. And yeah, we talk all the time about the connection there, with the Darkseid Energy and with Booster Gold being lost, other dev💯elopments coming up.

So while I'm not working on any ဣof the Absolute books, because there are only so many hours in a day, I am certainly plugged in. We're making this a coordinated effort.

Back to We Are Yesterday, this story is happening in part because the Justice League were betrayed by someone they trusted. Airwave.

Sadly true.

Yes, sadly true and sad for Airwave. I like that character. I hope it's not the last we'll ever see of him here.

That's really a shame, isn't it?

Grodd was pretty ruthless.

Yes.

What I want to ask though is, how will what's happening in this story and what happened with Airwave affect the Justice League Unlimited mission going forward, with this massive roster and the way they've been approaching heroes and building out the ranks?

They are going to have to re-examine their protocols, and they are going to have to be a little more judicious about vetting the candidates. At first ꦬit was, let's throw the doors open to everybody, which was a good instinct. But Superman trusts everybody. You know you have to earn Superman's mistrust, whereas Batman is the exact opposite. You have to earn Batman's trust. And Wonder Woman is somewh🦹ere in the middle. So this is going to spill out into a confrontation between all three of them, which, by the way, gives me the idea for issue 10, which is great. I should write this down real quick.

On that note, how will We Are Yesterday kind of set up what's coming next in the DC Universe? We've heard about a crossover with the JSA, the next stages of what's going on with the Omega Energy. How is We Are Yesterday a key to that?

How do I answer this? I mean, it's absolutely key to this. The events of We Are Yesterday are a complete story. I don't want to give anybody the impression that we're only giving you part of a story that leads into the next part that, leads into the next part, like you're never getting a sense of closure. It is a complete story, but there are consequences to it that will ꦏvery much, starting with Justice League Unlimited #9, lead out into the next big happening in the DCඣ Universe. So there is a definite connection there.

At the same time, the issue puts a new ജspin on a classic aspect of the Batman mythos, while also hinting at the Absolute Universe version of one of the most devastating Batman stories ever.

Spoilers ahead for Absolute Batman #7

Absolute Batman #7 by writer Scott Snyder, artist Marcos Martín, colorist Muntsa Vicente, and letterer Clayton Cowles picks up in the aftermath of the💮 so-called "Black Mask incident" that capped off the title's first big arc. Bruce Wayne is struggling, with no city planning ෴work to do, as all construction projects have been halted.

Nonetheless, he's still concerned with what's going on at the mysterious Ark-M facility, leading him to enlist an old friend to do some digging on the truth – none other than Matches Malone, which fans of the main DC Universe will lik♐ely re﷽cognize as the alias used by Bruce Wayne to go undercover in the Gotham underworld.

In the Absolute Universe, Matches is a childhood friend of Bruce, as well as Ozzie, Waylon, Harvey, and Eddie, the aforementioned Bat-villains who have been recast as folks in Bruce's neighborhood. Here, they're all a 🐻bit miffed with Bruce because of his double life as Batman, and they're curious what the connection is between Bruce and Matches' disappearance.

But🍎 as Bruce soon reveals, it's more than a disappearance – M💯atches is dead, and Bruce is the last one who saw him alive.

As it turns out, Bruce sent him on a mission to ▨get intel about Ark-M, a mission Matches took so seriously he actually went undercover inside the facility, a risk that horrifies Bruce. However, before Matches can tell Bruce more than a few dꦇetails – notably that people are already being held prisoner in Ark-M – he suddenly dies in an eruption of deadly, bloody boils.

For longtime💟 Batman readers, this sight is all too familiar. As Bruce explains, someone used a biological weapon to kill Matches – one that appears to have essentially identical effects to those of "the Clench," a strain of Ebola that ravaged Gotham City in the late '90s story 'Contagไion.'

Still, there are clues for Bruce to pursue taken from Matches' phone, which includes a list of scientists with ties to A🐻rk-M – namely doctors Isley (as in Pamela Isley, Poison Ivy), Strange (as in Hugo Strange), Langstrom (as in Kirk Langstrom, the Man-Bat), and Victor Fries, best known in mainstream continuity as the terribly creepy Mister Freeze.

With Fries located in Gotham, Bruce sets out 🐈to infiltrate his lab for clues. What he finds inside Fries' stronghold elevates the already weird villain to a completely new level of bizarre horror. Confronting Fries, Bruce discovers that he is actually Victor Fries, Jr., and he's got his parents Victor and Nora cryogenically frozen in tubes in his own office.

In mainstream continuity, Victor Fries' current origin as Mister Freeze revolves around his strange obsession with a young woman named Nora Fields w🦩ho was cryogenically frozen decades in the past. Here, he's not only got his own parents frozen in his office, he's got powers far different from those of the classic Mister Freeze, who usually has the ability to survive extremely cold temperatures and who uses a freeze-ray as a weapon.

His new powers, which are partially derived from his own time spent in cryo-stasis as a boy – where it's implied he was exposed to the same bacteria that may now be used as the weapon that killed Matches – are far stranger and scarier, with Fries morphing into a bizarre, alien-looking mu👍tant right before Bruce's eyes, leaving the issue on a cliffhanger as he's about to strike.

That's a significant step up in the creepy factor fo♈r a villain who was already extremely weird in his modern mainstream incarnation, especiall൲y the part where he fully morphs into a bizarre looking monster instead of just shooting Batman with a freeze-ray.

But what is it that has propelled the historical most🧸 popular western superhero in the world back into the public consciousness in such a big way, even beyond the movie hype? There's something special about Superman that sets him apart from other superheroes that makes him the perfect hero for the current moment in time.

Writer Mark Waid knows Superman just about as well as anyone alive, having written the Man of Steel numerous times over the decades, including writing his own take ﷺon Superman's origins and early days in Superman: Birthright, as well as the current Batman/Superman: World's Finest title, and the ongoing Justice League Unlimited series. And to him, it's no mystery why Superman is the biggest hero of 2025.

"I think with all the turmoil going on, I think t𒉰hat there is a sense of dread that is an undercurrent to every moment of our lives, even whether we realize it or not," Waid tells Newsarama. "And Superman is always the symbol of hope. Superman is always the symbol of what we can accomplish if we pull together, what we can do if we have empathy. What we can do if we make kindness a virtue rather than a weakness. And I think that speaks to a lot of people right now. It certainly speak🌱s to me."

Indeed, the idea of Superman as a symbol of the strength that comes from empathy and kindness also speaks to me ๊as a reader and a fan. It's often been said that the core𝓰 fantasy of Superman is the idea that someone with such great strength uses it for selfless good, and that's something that rings true now more than ever.

It's not a new invention either. Superman began his adꦯventures largely by taking on corrupt executives, union busters, brutal slumlords, and other e♛nemies of the common folk. It's that core populism that quickly led to becoming a symbol of universal goodness, only a threat to those who would do harm to others. And over the years, his famous S-shield has even been redefined as a specific symbol of hope on his homeworld of Krypton.

"There's an optimism to Superman that translates on the comic page to being able to do the impossible," Waid 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:told Newsarama previously.�๊� "The first time we ever saw Superman, he was lifting a car over his head, which in 1938 was quite the sight. That kind of science fiction material wasn't really a thing in pop culture at the time."

"He was created by two teenage boys out of Cleveland to do impossible things, and that is one of my guiding stars," Waid continued at the time. "When I write Superman, in every story, I really want to see him do something that seems impossible and still manage to pull it off. That, to me, is what his purpose is. And that is one of the tജhings that makes him unique."

We could all certainly use a bit of the impossible right now, and a bit of 💛Superman to🉐o.

Superman will hit theaters on July 11. In the meantime, check out our guide to all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming DC movies and shows for everything else the DCU has in store.

Per , the previously unseen footage showed "Superman getting assistance from a particu𓆏larly rambunctious Krypto, who eventually drags him into the Fortress of Solitude. A number of lines were greeted with laughter from the crowd."

When director James Gunn took to the stage, he said, "I cannot wait to share the film with all you guys and the rest of the world.” He added, “𒈔We’re still in the throes of post-production."

This follows on the heels of the movie's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:massive first trailer, which introduced us to Davidౠ Corenswet's Clark Kent, Rachel Brosnahan's Lois Lane, Nicholas Hoult's Lex Luthor – and most importantly, Krypto the Superdog.

This is the first movie in Gunn's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DCU Chapter One: Gods and Monsters, following on from the TV𝕴 show Creature Commandos.

Speaking about the first trailer, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Gunn teased the tone of the movie. "I think I wanted the trailer to really get the essence of the film," he said. "You know, the film is optimistic, yet not without its darker moments. It's a big science fiction💎 movie, but at the same time, incredibly grounded in the way we treat the characters and everything else. So I wanted it to be something that was the essence of Superman, that was the Superman that I grew up with, that I love, but also something new💜 at the same time."

We're really looking forward to seeing how this shakeup in the status quo changes things for Supes and company.

TRINITY: DAUGHTER OF WONDER WOMAN #1

On sale: June 11

Spinning out of Tom King's consistently excellent run on Wonder Woman comes 𓃲this new six-issue limited ꧃series focused on Diana's daughter, Lizzie Prince AKA Trinity.

Prepare for a Crisis of Infinite Corgis!" King scripts the series, with art from Belén Ortega.

BATMAN #161

On sale: June 25

The long-awaited Hush 2 reaches its fourth instalment. DC is being somewhat tight-lipped with plot details for these issues, simply sayingಞ of this one, "Batman's battle with Hush takes a dark turn when Damian (Robin) and Bane team up!" Sounds good – and you can bet coming from the creative team of writer Jeph Loeb and artists Jim Lee and Scott Williams this will be a must pull. There's a slew of covers available, with Lee and Williams providing the main cover and variants, along with other variants from Leinil Yu, Gabriele Dell'Otto, Frank Cho, George Perez, Clay Mann, and Steve Skroce.

The new five-issue limited series is written by North and illustrated by Mike Norton and promises a "heartfelt and moving view of humanity, good and bad, through the empathic eyes of the ultimate outsider: a poor, lost dog, who just happens to have superpowers."

"Batman has a new Robin, Jason Todd" reads DC's synopsis for the new series. "Jason is a rash, impulsive and reckless kid with a troubled past, who Batman was certain could be molded into Go✤tham's next protector. But can the Dark Knight save Jason Todd from the darkness within himself? And when a mysterious new villain, shrouded in white cloth and mystery, sets his sights on Jason, Batman r🙈ealizes that even he has what it takes to train the anger and torment out of his new young ward."

Below you can see the first issue's main cover by series artist Dustin Nguyen, followed by varian♔ts from Nguyen, Lemire, Rafael Albuquerque, and John McCrea.

Jason Todd was created by G🌺erry Conway and Don Newton, and ꩵintroduced in 1983's Batman #357, though it took several issues before he adopted the mantle of Robin (with Dick going off to become Nightwing in the New Teen Titans).

Following 1985's epochal Crisis on Infinite E🦩arths, DC relaunched many of its titles and the Todd Robin was given a revamped origin story that proved unpopular with fans.

In 1988 Batman editor Dennis O'Neil came up with the idea of a phone in poll that would affect the future of DC comics. O'Neil suggested using the poll to determine whether Jason Todd live or die – with readers opting to off the second Robin at the hands of the Joker in the now classic 'A Death in the Family' storyline. DC recently published t🔥he "lost" alternative ver꧑sion that showed Todd surviving.

Jason stayed dead for a remarkably long time in comics, before officially returning in 2005, now going by the name Red Hood. He's been an on-and-off ally of Batman ever since, notably turning against Bruce in Cꦫhip Zdarsky's recent run on the main Bat-book, though tജhey have since reconciled.

Rob💫in & Batman: Jason Todd #1 is published by DC on June 11.

Find out about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC's recent Absolute Batman launch here.

Waid describes New History of the DC Universe as his "dream project," with artists Jerry Ordway and Todd Nauck joining him on the first𒆙 issue of the four-issue limited series. Other artists yet to be anno🍷unced will draw each issue.

"It's a chance to realign al﷽l of DC's sprawܫling continuity into one master timeline, and to be joined by some of comics' greatest artists to make it shine. With new information for even longtime fans, plus Easter eggs galore, this series will be an essential read for DC fans."

There have been previous versions of a unified history of the DC Universe, but given the amount of continuity shifts, reboots, relaunches, ♕and retcons that DC has undergone ove𒉰r the years, a new version is much needed.

In this case, the story will be told through the eyes of none other than Barry Allen, the classic Flash, whose introduct🔜ion launched both the Silver Age of comics and the modern DC Universe. Barry will take a trip through time across four issues, with the first issue covering the era from the dawn of time to the formation of the Justice Society, the first superhero team.

Here's a gallery of covers for the issue including the m💝ain cover by Chris Samnee and variant covers by 🅰Dan Mora, Ryan Sook, Mike Cho, and Stanley 'ArtGerm' Lau, as well as a special wraparound cover by Sook, and the first of a series of wraparound covers by Scott Koblish which depict basically every DC character ever in order of era depicted in a given issue. Check it out:

"I'm having an abso⭕lute blast with this project," says artist Todd Nauck. "Mark has come up with something cool for me to draw on every page, and it’s been an honor to share art chores with a comics legend like Jerry Ordway. The DC editorial team has coordinated a wealth of deep-dive references for me to draw from, and I'm learning new aspects of DC history I hadn't known before - and I've been reading DC comics for decades!"

"As one of the artists who was part of Crisis on Infinite Earths in the '80s, I am thrilled to be involved in telling the story of this newest DC Universe with Mark and Todd," adds artist J🗹erry Ordway.

New History o🎉f the DC Universe #1 goes🐬 on sale June 25.

And yes, of course that means we'll finally get an answer to whether Sonic can outrun the Flash (though I suspect it'll be an outcome that flatters them both somehow). But that's not all, as writer Ian Flynn and ar🔯tist Adam Bryce Thomas will go on to pit the Justice L꧂eague, Sonic, and the hedgehog's friends against Darkseid as he apparently gains the power of the notorious Chaos Emeralds.

Perhaps it's that chaos that will lead to the mash-up between the heroes becoming literal, as Sonic is mashed-up with ജFlash, Shadow becomes Batman, Tails becomes Cyborg, Silver becomes Green Lantern, Amy becomes Wonder Woman, and Knuckles becomes Superman.

Here's a look at the interior pages from DC X Sonic the Hedgehog #1, along with the main cover🐎 Pablo M. Collar and a variant cover by Ethan Young, as well as the main covers for #2, #3, and #4:

"DC x Sonic the Hedgehog…features an unprecedented crossover event where the Justice League and Team Sonic must unite to save their worlds from a major threat," reads the official description of the story. "The action speeds up when the monstrous Darkseid crosses dimensions to invade the world of Sonic the Hedgehog, seeking the ultimate power. Sonic and his friends have faced everything from mad scientists to ancient spirits, but the forces of Apokolips may be too much for them! T🗹hankfully, the full heroic might of the Justice League arriv💃es to back them up!"

DC x Sonic the Hedgehog #1 goes on sale March 19.

Spoilers for Absolute Superman #5

One of the biggest changes to the Superman's origin story is that in the Absolute Universe version of things, Kal-El was a child when Krypton fell, rather than a newborn baby. That gives him direct lived-experience of the end of his world, which we see play out in flashback sequences this issue. He witnesses the riots that break out when the general population are told the apocalyptic news that the Science Lea✱gue has bee🔴n hiding all this time, and the brutal response from the ruling elite. Meanwhile his parents are spending every free moment trying to adapt their escape craft to fit more people on.

It's here that the issue raises your hopes for a happier ending... For a good chunk of the issue it seems like Absolute Superman #5 is setting up a new status quo where many more Kryptonians escaped the devastation. We see many similar escape craft being prepped, while whole families board Lara and Jor-El's escape ship. As the planet explodes, young Kal-El even feels an unexpected sense of hope. His planet has gone, but the survivors are going to have the chance to rebuild and start again somewhere else. Somewhere 🌌better.

And then we learn the horrible truth: None of the ships from the cities made it off the planet, only Kal-El's. And then, just as we're getting used to that, a gigantic chunk of debris from the exploding planet destroys꧂ their ship too.

Luckily Sol, the ship's living computer, has bonded with everyone on board. It acts first as a protective space suit to save the Kryptonians from the vacuum of space, before transforming into a spaceship of its own, powerful enough to carry the young Kal to safety. All the other Kryptonians, however – including his family – are caught up in ꧑the explosion that destroys the planet.

There are some interesting ambiguities here, it should be noted. We're told that none of the ships from the cities escaped, but it's presumably likely that other ships from outside the urban centers may have done. And alt𓂃hough we only see Kal-El escape, it's entirely possible others did too.

It's the hope that kills you. That's kind of how I felt after reading this issue, which takes an already sad backstory and dials up the agony. Tཧhis version of Superman had to wi🍬tness every awful moment of the death of his planet and then see his parents and people wiped out in front of his very eyes. There's no wonder the adult Absolute Superman feels so much more volatile and dangerous than the regular Man of Steel.

The issu✨e ends with Superman in the present day, burning with rage after witnessing a massacre at the hands of the Peacemakers. He's reaching his breaking point, terrified of betraying his own fierce morality. Then, in the final pages, he makes a decision that could prove pivotal in saving his super-soul. He decides to go home and sets off on a long walk to Smallville.

Absolute Superman #5 is out now from DC.

Jason Aaron talks to us about 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Superman.

DC Pride 2025 is a one-shot featuring work from a host of acclaimed creators, including Tim Sheridan, Vita Ayala, Josh Trujillo, Skylar Patridge, A.L. Kaplan, 🔯Max Sarin, and more. Where previous editions of the DC Pride series have oဣpted for a traditional anthology format, this year's release will instead tell a "singular story arc of interweaving narratives," according to DC.

In the issue, heroes gather when a Gotham City tavern that has become the center of queer life in the city unexpectedly closes. "It&a🌌pos;s a huge loss to the community, and generations of patrons return to pay respe🐠cts to a space they've endowed with entire lifetimes of memories, wishes, and dreams – including Alan Scott, the Green Lantern," reveals DC's press release. "Alan returns, for one last time, to the place he fell for his first love, Johnny Ladd, to touch the wall on which they carved the symbol of their love, to remember the days before everything went to hell for them...and to say goodbye."

You can check out Kris Anka's main cover for DC Pride 2025 in the gallery be📖low, plus a couple of variants by Julia Reck and Jack Hughes.

"DC Pride 2025 is a celebration of life, love and the power of community – even and especially in uncertain times," says Tim Sheridan, writer of the much-loved 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Alan Scott: The Green Lantern. "The roster of talent shaping this story is as epic as the story itself – so all I can say is buckle up for big action, bꩵigger fun, and the biggest stakes yet. This book, as it has been in years past, is a way to reach out to our community and remind them we're all in this together."

Maw creator Jude Ellison S. Doyle, who is collaborating with artist Alex Moore,  revealed that Blue Snowman, a character originally devised by Wonder Woman creator William Moulton Marston and artist Harry G. Peter, will play a 🐬part in the new book. "It is such a huge honor to be part of the story DC has been telling. And to help Josh Trujillo bring new character Ethan Rivera – along with my own personal soulmate and/or best friend, trans icon Blue Snowman – into this universe. It's also my first chance to work with A.L. Kaplan since Maw, and he's a future legend who continues to awe me with his work. It was just really great, and healing, to hang out with a bunch of queer people and make some comics, and I could not have hoped to meet a more talented group of people."

"What made this project extra special to me," says New Mutants writer Vita Ayala, "was the way that the collaboration of creating the anthology almost mirrors the framework and ultimate solution of the metaphor at the heart of it. We got together in a (virtual) room, each with ideas for our own piece of the narrative, and at the end of the time we had interwoven our stories in ways that make it hard to tel💝l where one person's contribution ends and another begins. We approached the work as collaborators, and ended up creating a community space that (we hope) welcomes everyone in from the cold, no matter what door (or which individual short story) people came through."

Also coming from DC this year is the latest edition of DC Pride: To the Farthest Reaches – a hardcover book in which "DC's beloved queer characters take readers on a raucous tour through the Fourth World, Naltor, A-Town, the Phantom Zone, Portworld, the Oblivion Bar, and more in a volume that celebrates how the LGBTQIA+ community is everywhere and belongs anywhere – even the very farthest reache🐼s of the universe."

The book collects last year's DC Pride 2024, plus additional stories spotlightin💎g queer characters from creators including Phil Jimenez, Al Ewing, Ngozi Ukazu, Nicole Maines, Stephen Byrne, Claire Roe, Giulio Macaione, an𝓡d more.

DC Pride Box Set, meanwhile, collects the first three hardcover volumes of the DC Pride series, bringing together more than 70 stories in one place. The set features a starry line-up of creators that includes 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Grant Morrison, James Tynion IV, Mariko Tamaki, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nicole Maines, Trung Le Nguyen, Klaus Janson, Vita Ayala, Zoe Thorogood, and more. Also included is a tribute to the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:great comics creator Rachel Pollack, as well as Batman: The Animated Series 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:actor Kevin Conroy's autobiographical comic, 'Finding Batman.'

Finally, Pride month will also be celebrated across several of DC's monthly comics throughout June with themed variant covers for Detective Comics #1098 (Stephen Byrne), Harley Quinn #52, Poison Ivy #34 (Betsy Cola), Justice League Unlᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ⁤⁤⁤⁤ᩚ𒀱ᩚᩚᩚimited #8 (Hayden Sherman), JSA #6 (Don Aguillo), Superman #27 (Rachael Stott), and Wonder Woman #22 (Kevin Wada).

DC Pride Box Set is published by DC on May 27. DC Pride 2025 follows 🐼on June 4🦂, with DC Pride: To the Farthest Reaches landing on June 17.

Read up on some of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:most iconic LGBTQIA+ superheroes in comics.

The series' first big arc, 'The Zoo' wraps up this month with Absolute Batman #6. Following that will be a two-issue story about Mr. Freeze that Snyder says "ties into what you read in the first arc and sets up the second one." Marcos Martín is the artist on those issues, and Snyder calls his work "unbelievable" while promising a new design for Freeze and "a lot of fun revel🎃ations about who he is."

After that will be an arc-focused on the Bat-breaker himself. "Starting with #9, it's a Bane arc, which I'm very excited about, and it really deals with Ark M and what it is," revealed Snyder. "Bruce is desperately trying to figure😼 out what they're building there and what it is underneath this prison, and it's like a real horror show. So you get a bunch of villain revelations there." That ♔arc will run through issues #9-14.

Following that will be a three-part arc that Snyder says will focus on "the return of a character who you've seen a little bit in the past." And then it's time for the big one – probably. "Right now that's where we're planning our Joker story is, after that, but I haven't decided yet." Snyder goes on to clarify that he knows exactly what the Joker story is going to be, but that other ideas and stories (including "a little Scarecrow thing") may sneak in before getting to this long-awaited look at Batman's greatest enemy – in the Absolute Universe seemingly reinvented a super-we𓂃althy industrialist.

Speaking of whether Bruce Wayne will remain a loner in the Absolute Universe, Snyder also teased that Barbara Gordon and the OG Robin, Dick Grayson, will be seen in the book sooner rat💎her than later. "You'll see Dick Grayson at some point this year, he's coming," Snyder revealed. "It was an interesting set of choices because it was like, 'Is he a kid, or is he a grown-up?' Because if Barbara is a grown-up and he's a kid, is that too weird? Does that feel off? So what if he's a grown-up? Who would he be? And then that opened this whole door. You'll see some friendly Bat characters and some fiendish Bat characters, all coming soon."

Perhap🦄s most exciting of all, Snyder confirmed that the Absolute Universe comics – or at least the big three of Absolute Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman – will be crossing over later this year. "We had a big summit, Zoom-wise, all the Absolute writers," Snyder explained. "There will be crossover storylines in '25 between the Absolute books – the first three especially, 'cos they've been around longer."

The whole interview is long and fascinating, with Snyder also going into some of the metaphysics of the Absolute universe, what it took to bring him back to writing Batman, and teasing what the upcoming Absolute Martian Manhunter and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Green Lantern comics will have to offer, so do go c🌃heck it out.

Absolute Batman🐓 #6 is published by DC on March 19.

Check out interviews with the creative teams of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Wonder Woman and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Superman.

Resurrection Man follows the adventures of immortal superhero Mitch Shelley, a hero who simply cannot die no matter how often you shoot him, stab him, or blow him to pieces. What's more, whenever Mitch dies, he resurrects with new powers. It sounds like he'll need them – in✃ Quantum Karma, he's tasked with his greatest challenge yet: saving the entire universe!

The new series is written by Ram V, who is also currently helming The New Gods for DC, and illustrated by Anand RK. You✤ can check out some covers from the first issue below, including Jeff Dekal's main cover, plus variants from Anand RK, Dan Panosian, and Butch Guice.

DC's synops♌is for the new series suggests that the past 🍨is about to catch up with Mitch in a big way. Karma's funny like that.

"He's back! Mitch Shelley, the Resurrection Man, has led thousands of lives – and with each unexpected death and resurrection comes a new superpower. But after living a life to its natural conclusion, Mitch Shelley is awoken by a new purpose and power…saving the univers💎e."

It continues, "Follow the Resurrection Man through tim꧃e as he fights against a monster of his own creation. Gashadokuro – a sadist▨ic WWII internment-camp commander who has inherited a twisted version of Shelley's powers. The lines of cosmic order will begin to blur as no good deed goes unpunished. And whatever the cause, whatever the consequence, this much is true… he's dying to save you!"

Resurrection Man was created by writers Andy Lanning and Dan Abnett and artist Jackson Guice back in 1997, and has popped up from time to time over the intervening decades in various corners of the DC multiverse, such as DC One Million and Martian Manhunter. His last full series was a part of DC's controversial New 52 project. Quantum Karma will be the first time a Resurrection Man comic has been written by someone other🌳 than his creators.

Resurrec𓆏tion Man: Quantum Karma #1 is publ🍸ished by DC Black Label on April 2.

Ram V talked to us recently about writing 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC's The New Gods.

The latter is coming from the impressive creative team of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:writer Al Ewing and artist Jahnoy L☂indsay. Now DC has released some early a🌃rt and covers from the first issue, giving us a stronger hint at the tone of the new series, which is putting the relatively new character of Sojourner "Jo" Mullein front and center, alongside Hal Jordan.

Here's a gallery of covers from the first issue, including Lindsay's main cover and a black and white v♕ariant, plus variants from Juliet Nneka, Martin Simmonds, Ryan Benjamin📖, Rafael Albuquerque, and a foil Green Lantern logo variant.

Jo Mullein made her debut in the 2020 limited series Far Sector, by writer N.K. Jemisin and artist Jamal Campbell. The book was published by DC's now defunct Young Animal imprint, and proved to be a huge success with fans and critics, winning 2022's prestigious Hugo Award for Best Graphic Story or Comic. Since then Jo has become a regular part of the more mainstream Green Lantern titles in what is now known as the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:DC All In universe.

The unlettered preview pages below 🐠don't give a lot away about the new Absolute comic's story, but they do indicate that while still🧜 being cosmic in scope, the new book will take place, in part, on Earth.

So what is the first arc – titled 'The Black Hand' – about? We have solicitations blurbs for t𒀰he first two issues, but they don't give mu💎ch away. This is intentional, with Al Ewing having previously indicated that the series is best approached without knowing too much in advance.

"Without the Corps... without the ring... without the willpower, what's left is the Absolute Green Lantern!" reads the synopsis for #1, which suggests a more stripped back approa🅘ch for the series.

The blurb for #2, however, indicates the fateful ar🔯rival of a familiar Green Lantern character: "Abin Sur has arrived,ꦚ and he is here to judge all of the people of Evergreen, including Jo Mullein and Hal Jordan. But is this alien being friend or foe, and just what will his judgement bring?"

We'll find out how⛦ it all fits to༒gether when Absolute Green Lantern #1 is published by DC on April 2.

These are 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the best Green Lantern stories of all time.

Fraction is, of course, the writer who with artist David Aja relaunched and redefined Hawkeye for Marvel back in 2012-2015. And Jiménez has been꧂ the ongoing𝓡 artist of Batman off-and-on for some time now, with an impressive run of his own under his belt - an A-list creative team if ever there was one.

And for me, the preview and concept art that's been shown and the idea for the series that's been pitched, are exactly what I🅷've been waiting for after a long time dipping in and out of the Batman mythos for years now - a "very superhero forward take on Batman," as Fraction stated when the title was announced.

"We've got a new Batmobile,🔥 we’ve got a new costume, we’ve got new characters, and we’ve got a lot of old ones too - good and bad; all the stuff that makes༺ Batman the coolest character in comics. We want to celebrate it all."

Music to my long, pointed bat-ears.

The Caped Crusader

Like many comic fans, I grew up on Batman. Being born in the early '80s, I was perfectly primed to fall in love with the hero thanks to the resurgence of re-runs of the classic '60s Batman TV show, the proliferation of superhero action figures, and of course, the release of the all-time best🐓 Batman movie (at least in my opinion) in 1989. Bat-culture was ꦇeverywhere, and I was lapping it up, forming a love of Batman and his supporting cast heavily informed by Adam West, Michael Keaton, and, on the comic side, the 1980 retelling of Bruce Wayne's superhero origins in The Untold Legend of the Batman by writer Marv Wolfman and artist John Byrne.

For me, Batman is the Caped Crusader - a swashbuckling superhero with a keen detective's mind backed up by his indelible physical prowess and an arsenal of fantastic gadgets. Don't get me wrong, I have a strong appreciation for the Dark Knight aspect of Batman; the edgier, grittier, more ominous side of Bruce Wayne. But when I think about Batman, my mind always falls to the version I grew up with - a somewhat lighter, more adventurous hero with a fully realized, vaguely self-contained environment full of colorful allies and enemiesღ.

However, that hasn't been the prevalent portrayal across most media, especially movies, for some time now. The focus has been on stories largely inspired by Frank Miller's The Dark Knigh♏t Returns and Batman: Year One, which brought to the forefront a version of Batman who is a brutal, blunt instrument of his own brand of justice.

On the flipside, there have been extremely heightened takes on Batman that have elevated him into the so-called "Bat-God" who is always one step more prepared than his enemies, and whꦡo exists at the center of a sci-fi fueled, cosmic Multiverse of Bat-creatures in stories by writers such as Grant Morrison and Scott Snyder.

Meanwhile, writers like James Tynion IV, Tom King, and Chip Zdarsky🍰 have broken new ground with stories that have reworked and redefined Batman's environment and supporting cast. And that's not mentioning the host of other versions of Batman that have existed in other titles in that time, such as the current smash-hit Absolute Batman, which totally remakes the character and his entire reality.

The Dark Knight

But in the core Batman title, it seems that even when a creative team strives for a happy balance of the many directions in which the Dark Knight is often pulled, those major modern tent🤡poles still feel like they're just a few step𒆙s away.

Case in point, DC's other big recent Batman announcement, that writer Jeph Loeb and artist/DC president, publisher, and chief creative officer Jim Lee would return for a short stint on Batman for a 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:sequel to the💫ir beloved 2002-2003 story Hush, the improbably titled Batman H2SH (huh-toosh?). I think𒊎 it's pretty clear I'm all for a nostalgic take on Batman, and it's entirely likely that Hush 2 (I can't H2SH aga🗹in) will have a huge impact in the industry with a lot of positive response.

Still, it doesn't excite me the way that Fraction and Jiménez's Batman does: a re-focused take on the Caped Crusader that strips back some of the recent artifice that has piled up under his cape and puts a fresh spin on the core concepts that make up the character, the same way the big creators that have become so influential were able to do in their way - the way Fracti𝓰on and David Aja were able to do with Hawkeye over a decade ago.

With so many questions in the movies about who will be the main live-action B🅷atman, whether🥂 it'll be any of the existing portrayals or something brand new, the idea of the comic book Batman going back to his roots, down to a refreshed take on his classic costume, sounds like exactly the kind of comfort food this aging Bat-fa𒁃n has been craving.

Maybe it's🅠 in some ways ironic to pin a bit of optimism to a character like Batman, who is so often shrouded in darkness. But at his core, Batman represents the truest kind of optimism, the raw optimism of spirit that one person's determination can change the whole world.

Frankly, all I'm looking for ar🏅e some damn good comics🐈, so I'd say the odds are in our favor.

Now's the perfect time to dig into the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best Batman comics of all time.

Peacemaker Presents: The ꦐVigilante/Eagly Double Feature #1 is published in March and features two new stories featuring the morally-ambiguous (to say the least) antihero, his avian chum Eagly, and fellow "hero" Vigilante. The first story 'Peaceful Vacation' is written by Rex Ogle and illustrated by artists Matteo Lolli and John Kalisz. In the story, Eagly and Peacemaker head to Alaska for a vacation, only for their flight to be hijacked. Can the deadly duo save the day?

While Peacemaker🔥 and Eagly are dealing with all that, Vigilante become✃s convinced that they've been kidnapped by the Controller in 'A Time for Fables' by writer Tim Seeley and artist Mitch Gerads. Cue "big trouble for the criminals of Evergreen, with knives, axes, and gore galore," according to DC's official synopsis.

Above you can see covers for the first issue, including Mitch Gerads' main cover, plus variants from Dan Panosian, Darick Robertson, and Matteo Lolli.

Each issue of the series will also include "How to Be A Super-Hero" diary entries from Vigilante written by Freddie Stroma – the actor who plays the character in the streaming show. DC has also confirmed▨ that the series takes place within the continuity of the show, which ret🙈urns for its second season in August.

Above you can check out a selection of unlettered interior pages from the first issue which shows Chris Smith – AKA Peacemaker – chilling out before bringing the pain to some, er, Nazi dinosaurs.

Peacemaker Presents: The Vigilante/Eagly Double Feature is published by DC on March 26ܫ.

Here's where you can keep track of all the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:upcoming Marvel TV shows.

Yep, Absolute Wonder Woman #5 is out now, from the team of writer Kelly Thompson and artist Hayden Sherman, and it delivers a thrilling climax to the series' first arc, 'The Last Amazon', with Diana's battle with the beast leaning into the magical aspect of this new take on the character. It's also rad as hell. Let's get into it...

Spoilers for Absolute Wonder Woman #5

The♛ issue opens with the battle continuing and an attack by a couple of USAF fighter jets only complicating matters, when the Tetracide deflects their missiles back towards the city. Luckily, Diana – with some help from Pegasus – is able to stop these before they harm anyone. Still, she's starting to realise that defeating this thing will mean resor✱ting to powerful magic that could change her forever.

In a flashback to Hell (where,𝔍 you may remember, this version of Wonder Woman was raised), we see Circe gift Diana one of her lassos, granted the name Θυσία – Sacrifice in ancient Greek. It has the power to change things, though Diana is dismayed at the cruelty of this weapon.

Back in the present day, she begins to understand why this particular lasso is for her. We've already seen that this version of the character is ready and willing to sacrifice herself if necessary 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:when she cut off her own arm in order to save Steve Trevor. Now she's ready to make an even bigger sacrifice: she uses the lasso on herself and transforms into a gigantic, kaiju-sized version of Medusa, in order to fight the Tetracide. Like we said: Rad. As. Hell.

Once the transformation is complete the battle is easily won. She stares at the Tetracide, transforming it into stone. There seems to be no coming back for Wonder Woman, however, until🌳 Steve Trevor decides to risk his life by facing her himself. Binding his eyes with a rag, he steps out into the streets and confronts Medusa. Talking to her, he is able to speak to the part of the creature that is still Diana, reminding her of who she truly is. It's enough to restore her h♏umanity – and now it's time for her to punch the stone Tetracide to rubble.

Some will likely find this resolution a little too easy, and it's true that it takes Steve just five panels to reverse the transformation. Personally, I love this moment, though. Sherman continues to draw this book so beautifully, and there's something mythic about the way Diana's salvation comes not through Steve's grow🍸ing love for her, but through simply reminding her of who she truly is, of how the things that she perhaps sometimes sees as negatives about herself – hailing from Hell, being the last of the Amazons – are actually sources of power.

Absolute Wonder Woman's first arc is over, then – but it's not a neat and tidy conclusion. Just as Diana is talking to her friends, a hole opens up in the ground beneath her and a gigantic spectral hand reaches up to grab her and drag her back to Hell. What was that we said up top? Turns out this issue she's going big and going home?

Absolute Wonder Woman #5 is out now from DC.

Absolute Wonder Woman made our list of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the 25 best comics of 2024.

According to DC, the new Supergirl – which is part of the regular DC All In continuity, rather than the Absolute Universe – will see Kara Zo𝐆r-El return to the town of Midvale (on the outskirts of Metropolis). She will also get a new costume designed by Stanley "Artgerm" Lau.

You can check out Campbell's main cover for Supergirl #1 above, alongside a cardstock and foil variant from A🅰rtgerm, and vꦫariants from Bilquis Evely, Joshua Middleton, W. Scott Forbes.

"I came up in the comics industry doing mostly graphic novels that I wrote and drew myself, so doing the same with Supergirl feels like I'm returning to my storytelling roots," said Campbell in a statement. "My main touchstones to Kara Zor-El were the stories and the wild costumes from the 70's, the 1984 Supergirl movie, and The CW show, which I was a huge fan of. In creating this version of Supergirl, I'll be drawing on som🍸e of those influences as the series unfolds."

Also recently announced by DC, Krypto – Superman's super-powered mutt – is also set to get a new comic. Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypton is a five-issue limited series fro🌠m the creative team of writer Ryan North and artist Mike Norton that offers a "heartfelt and moving view of humanity, good and bad, through the empathic eyes of the ultimate outsider: a poor, lost dog, who just happens to have superpowers."

"Krypto's origin has always been done at kind of a high level," said North. "The little guy starts out on Krypton, ends up on Earth, and helps Superman fight crime. The chance to really define Krypto – to show what a little lost dog would go through if he landed all alone on a strange alien world named Earth – was really enticing. And I also fell in love with the idea of treating Krypto as the actual dog he is: he doesn't talk, and we don't cheat by reading his thoughts in balloons eithe🌠r. Mike Norton's art captures exactly what needs to be 'said' in every scene."

Supergirl #1 will be published by DC on May 14, 💖with Krypto: The Last Dog of Krypto♋n #1 following in June 18.

Fraction and Jiménez are joined by colorist Tomeu Morey and letterer Clayton Cowles for the series relaun🌊ch which, in a press release, DC says will tell "connected but self-contained stories." The exact details of those stories remain under wraps from now, but you can take a look at a few unlettered interior pages by Jiménez and Morey as well as Jiménez's cover art and characte꧃r design concepts in the gallery below.

Perhaps tജhe most striking part of the art is Batman's new costume, which throws back to the Caped Crusader's classic blue and gray color scheme. The art also shows a bit of what DC is teasing as "a new look for Gotham🐼 City." We're also going to see a new Batmobile, but we'll have to wait for our first look at that.

"I wouldn’t be here if it wasn't for Batman. It was the first comic I ever read," Fraction says in the press release. "Jorge and I have a very superhero-forward kind of take on Batman. We've got a new Batmobile, we've got a new costume, we've got new characters, and we've got a lot of old ones too - good and bad; all the stuff that makes B🅘atman the coolest character in comics. We want to celebrate it all."

"For this new chapter, we’re crafting a revamped aesthetic, bringing back Batman's blue suit in a definitive way," Jiménez adds. "It's a small shift meant to feel both classic and fresh, subtly evolving whileꦫ staying true to the original design we’ve used in recent years. At the same time, I’m working on Gotham City's visual identity, giving it a fresh approach that sets it apart from my previous takes. I'm aiming for a slight pop influence, something that subtly nods to classic stories while keeping the dark and ominous feel of contemporary Batman."

Batman #1 launches this September. The current Batman series continues in issue #158 on March 26, which will see creative team Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee, Scott Williams, Alex Sinclair and Richard Starkings take over for a sequel to one of the grea🔯test Batman stories ever told.

The issue comes with the first of t♉wo connecting covers by Dan Mora, as well as variants from Lucio Parrillo, Adrían Gutiérrez, and A.L. Kaplan.

Justice League Unlimited #7

In part five of the story, an unlikely hero will step up to the mark. DC's synopsis reveals that "The 🐼Justice League is fractured throughout time as the Legion of Doom achieves the unthinkable…the siege of the Watchtower! As Gorilla Grodd's attack intensifies, it'll be up to one hero to call in the cavalry, and it is not who you think!" Mark Waid and artist Travis Moore write and draw the issue, while covers come from Dan Mora (with the second part of his connecting cover), Jorge Molina, Tiago da Silva, Travis Moore, and Yanick Paquette.

Although some parts of the new series will take place in the present, the majority of the comic appears to turn the clock back to th꧂e beginning of Michael Holt's career as a hero, and particularly his tragic origin story which will be "dramatically revisited and expanded," according to DC.

"A genius-level inventor and Olympic champion, Michael Holt's life was destined for greatness," reads the official synopsis. "But that life came to a screeching halt when his wife, Paula, and unborn son were killed in a car accident. The Holts once shared ambitious dreams of using their technology to help others, but after the tragedy, Michael retreats from society, selling Holt Industries to mysterious and craven 𝓰tech billionaire Athena Prescott. Surrendering his dream sets off an explosive chain of events, taking the exceptionally intelligent Holt from th🧸e depths of despair to the heights of heroism as Mr. Terrific."

"Valentine and I are diving deep and telling the origin story of who Mr. Terrific is as a man, an♎d as a super hero," said Letson in a statement about the new comic. "I've loved🅠 Valentine’s work for years, and working on this series has been a dream. I can't wait for fans to see what we're cooking up."

"Working with Al, Marissa, Edwin, and Lucas, as well as the DC edit𒁃orial team, has been an🔜 absolute blast," added artist Valentine De Landro. "I'm excited to contribute to Mr. Terrific's story, a character I've enjoyed reading throughout the years."

You canꦦ see covers for 𒀰the first issue in the gallery above, including series artist Valentine De Landro's main cover, plus variants from Ho Che Anderson, Doc Shaner, and Mitch Gerads.

Mr Terrific: Year Onꦉe #1 is published by DC on May 28.

But if any series is going to change that, it's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Batman, which reinvents Black🔯 Mask as a being of not just hyper ruthlessness but anarchy. He's the perfect arch-villain for this new Batman to take on, not because he's the Dark Knight's antithesis, but because his warped ideology is a funhouse mirror to everything this Batman stꦜands for.

Created in the mid '80s by Doug Moench and Tom Mandrake (a perfect era for his birthplace, considering how many Batman villains were being readjusted to fit a grittier tone,) Roman Sionis aka Black Mask has been a leading man before, but never quite THE man. As the head of the False Face Society, his presence in Gotham was deadly from the onset. Other people in his position – guys like Carmine Falcone and Salvatore Maroni – were effective rulers of their little empires, but always seemed bound ༺by at least the facade of the honor system. They had broad criminal families to live up to. Meanwhile, Sionis' relationship with his own family was strained, and when he rose to power, he cared little for any sort of code. Murder and disfigurement followed in copious fashion.

Black Mask has appeared in assorted adaptations in other mediums, something that's typically the symbol of a character's growing mainstream recognition. He shows up in 2004's The Batman cartoon as a cruel gangster, one of the only villains in the show who's openly willing to k🔴ill his underlings if they annoy him. He’s also played by a scene-chewing Ewꦑan McGregor in Birds of Prey, who grants him immense narcissism and sadistic tendencies. However, in the grand scheme of Batman villains, few would nudge Black Mask above the second raters. Psychopathic gangster? Eh, that's also the Joker. Unhinged leader of a gang? In Gotham, you just have to throw a rock to find one of those.

Luckily, Absolute Batman has cleared the way for Black Mask to shine, mainly by turning Batman's array of antagonists from Batfoes to Batfriends. The would-be Riddler, Two-Face, Penguin, Catwoman and Killer Croc are all hang-out buddies with Bruce (for now). Thus Black Mask and his "Party Animals" have room to move in and claim the streets for themselves. They're a particularly vicious group, but it's all in the spirit of their leader, a man who only seems to desire reasonless cruelty until we learn his motivation in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Batman #5.

Having used his seemingly bottomless well of men, weapons and brutality to beat Batman to a pulp and send him off to lick his wounds, Black Mask announces that the offe🌄r he gave Batman (accept $200 million and look the other way from whatever Black Mask is doing) is pretty much open to the people of Gotham. This city is corrupt to the core, layered with politicians, enforcers and wealthy folk that have no consideration for law, especially when it doesn't benefit them. So if Gotham doesn't value you, then why should you value Gotham? Take from the city all you like, in whatever manner you like.

It seems like the opposite of Batman's mantra, until you realize that Absolute has offered him his own reinvention. In Scott Snyder"s new tale, this Batman is fairly blue-collar, and a common man of Gotham like he's rarely been before. And his mission, so far, has been to reshape himself and then reshape Gotham and punish those that would do it harm. A few different life choices, and there's a chance that Bruce Wayne would hear Black Mask and s♓ee it as a real call to action.

All great Batman villains have been a reflecti💛on of Batman himself. They take some aspect of his personality or his quest, twist it, and then present it back to him, turning them into what is arguably the most personal collection of hero-villain relationships in all of superhero comics. Black Mask has done this before, from his relationship with his wealth and in particular his wealthy parents, to the simple use of a black mask to harness fear as a weapon.

But Absolute Batman assures us that there is something a little deeper at play here. In one corner, you have Black Mask, who is convinced that Gotham is so tired of its own callousness that it would be willing to rip itself apart i꧙n a revolution. On the other, you have Batman, who believes that he is a one-man revolution himself. Only one issue left until we find out who emerges on top.

Absolute Batman 1–5 are all out now from DC. The final part of the current arc is publi🙈shed on March 12.

Check out our interviews with the creative teams of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Wonder Woman and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Superman.

A couple of issues back Alfred described Bruce's entire personality as being "Batman AF." This is a Caped Crusader who is even more committed to the theatrical bit than his regular DC universe counterpart, one who is willing to make ever-more-extreme gesture♕s in the cause of terrifying and wrong-footing his foes. In this month's issue he does so by putting a twist on a famous scene from The Dark Knight – then taking a quite improbable amount of punishment. Let's get into it…

Spoilers for Absolute Batman #5

One of the most interesting aspects of this comic has been its timely reinvention of Bruce Wayne as a blue collar man of the people, rather than a playboy billionaire. This version of Bruce has known deprivation and is friends with shady people operating on the edges of the law in order to survive. It's not for nothing that our one fleeting glimpse of the Absolute Universe Joker so far has been as a sinister billionaire industrialist (now who might that be modelled on, I wonder?). It's a conscious flip of the script when it comes to Batman's traditional hero and villain dynamic – albeit an imperfect one given that the Joker's attitude to wealth has typically been as ambiguous and fluid as the character himself. Money is traditionally a means to an end for him, with probably the most famous example of this being the scene in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:The Dark Knight where the Joker se🐭ts fire to a fortune simply to make a point.

Absolute Batman #5 appears to consciously call back to that moment. Bruce has accepted Black Mask's offer o𝄹f selling out for the princely sum of $200m, but rather than use the money to shore up his fledgling crime-fighting operation, he straps the wads of bank notes to the memorial spotlight on top of Gotham Zoo, causing the money to go up in flames as he ignites the Absolute Universe's first Bat-Signal.

It's not the first time꧂ that this book has made explicit that this version of Batman is an anarchistic force of nature, in some ways not too far off the Joker in the regular DC universe, but it's certainly the most explicit. The difference here, of course, is that Batman's chaos is a needed corrective to the cruel status quo that has taken control of Gotham, whereas the Joker's actions exist purely to satisfy his own insatiable malice.

As you might imagine Black Mask does not take any of this well. A fight ensues and the Party Animals dole out all the punishment they can on Bruce which... well, it's quite a lot. While Batman certainly puts up a fight – those spikes on his suit are really nasty, in one hilarious moment literally attaching a henchman to his burly back – it's not long before he's captured. Black Mask and his gang then proceed to stab him, set him on fire with a flamethrower, hit him with Batman's own axe, shoot him, send him tumbling off a building, and then run him over. That he survives this at all stretches credulity beyond breaking point, but this is Absolute Batman, where 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:maximalism is kind of the point.

Another excellent issue this, full of the dynamism and high drama we've come to expect from the title, and it's great to have Nick Dragotta back on the art duties after missing last month's #4. By the end of the issue Bruce is injured, alone – even Alfred seems to have abandoned him – and Black Ma෴sk is appealing to the people of Gotham's worst instincts by offering them the chance to join the Party Animals and cause carnage for cash. Earlier in the issue Martha Wayne said, "Most times in Gotham people surprise you in awful ways. But sometimes, once in a blue moon, they surprise you in good ones too." Which will it be this time? You'll have to tune in next month 💎to find out...

Absolute Batman #5 by writer Scott Snyder, artist Nick Dragotta, and c📖olorist Frank Martin is out now from DC.

The clip shows Nathan Fillion's Guy Gardner fixing his infamous hair,𓂃 captioned "the only bowl I need."

"Yes! I love that you're leaning into his haircut," , while : "Guy Gardner fixing his bowl cut s🅘tylishly is exploding on the timeline, I prayed for times like this as a DC fan"

But not everyone is so positive. "Bro did they rlly only drop one Krypto promo vid and a goddꦇamn Guy Gardner TikTok for this Puppy Bowl? Where is the new clip" .

"I really hate this ch🐲aracter design. I don't care that it's comic accurate," .

"Not having a Super Bowl TV Spot for a Superman movie 🃏is kind ꦇof insane. Don't agree with it tbh," .

We'll just have to be a little more patient for our next look at the tentpole DC movie, which is arriving as part of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Chapter One: Gods and Monsters.

David Correnswet stars as Superman, with Rachel Brosnahan as Lois Lane, and Nicholas Hoult as Lex Luthor. Along with Fillion, the rest of the cast includes Isabela Merced as Hawkgirl, ♏Milly Alcock as Sꦇupergirl, Edi Gathegi as Mister Terrific, Wendell Pierce as Perry White, Skyler Gisondo as Jimmy Olsen, and Anthony Carrigan as Metamorpho.

Taking place in the aftermath of last year's 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Power event, which saw Amanda Waller launch a failed attempt to deal with the supposed Metahuman "threat" once and for all, the new series sees Nia Nal (AKA Dreamer), Jay Nakamura, and Superman Jon Kent forced to work alongside a team of some of DC's toughest anti🅺heroes, including Catman, Deadshot, and Black Alice. Their mission? Track down the missing Amanda Waller who has vanished from her cell in Belle Reve.

The six-issue series is written by Nicole Maines and illustrated by Stephen Segovia. With the fiꦿrst issue in comic stores now, Newsarama caught up with Maines, who portrayed Dreamer on screen in the Supergirl TV show and who🅘 has continued to steer the character's comic book adventures over the last few years, to find out more about the new book and her ongoing "five year plan" for Nia Nal...

Newsarama: Hi Nicole. Let's start at the beginning of Secret Six #1. This first issue really centers on Nia, Jon, and Jay. They've all been through a lot recently even before the events of this issue. So how are they doing?

Nicole Maines: We find the characters post 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Absolute Power. Perhaps more than any other heroes, Jay, Jon and Nia were targeted and♑ affected by Amanda Waller's campaign, and so we find them in the aftermath of that, and see how they're each dealing with the trauma.

Jon is, as ever, the Super-son. He is determined that things are normal, things are fine, we are back at it. With Nia, I'd say that we see her struggling in a new way, but this girl has been so neck deep in trauma for years she's exactly where she has always been, still awful, still hurling her guts out because she just can't get a win. And Jay is starting to spiral down into this like typhoon of anger and grief and a ne꧂ed for vengeance and justice in a way that is very concerning to his boyfriend.

This issue really makes it feel like Jon and Jay are possibly near breaking point, despite the fact they've made this agreement to move in together in San Francisco...

Yeah, because who hasn't done that before? We'll fix it! A🔜 baby will fix it! Yeah. [laughs]

Amanda Waller was the architect of a lot of this grief – and now suddenly she's gone missing. What can you say about that?

Amanda Waller was on the fast track to finding herself a one way ticket to Belle Reve with no sign of getting out. Dreamer had left her in her cell with all her memories of metahumans, the superhero community, who Batman is, where the Bat Cave is, what Cyborg's real name is, all of this information now locked away behind a dream wall. She knows it, but she can't get at any of it. But 🐈of course, having such a giant chess piece taken off the table in the DC universe obviously doesn't fly with everybody. Somebody has to go and try to retrieve those memories, because that is a cash cow, if ever there was one...

Waller was really at the heart of Absolute Power, and she looms over this issue. What makes her such a powerful character?

I love Amanda Waller. I am so interested in characters that are like, "I do bad things for the right reasons." I think, perhaps more than anyone else, she just so embodies, "If you can't beat them, join them." She's a Black woman from a low income community who lost half her family to gun violence and and sexual violence and revenge, and in her qu🌸est to regain control of her situation she's [become] de🤪eply ingrained in this comic book villain persona. Absolute power corrupts absolutely and I think she knows that, but you can't stop a runaway train, and there's no option but to double down now.

For Secret Six I really wanted to make sure that we had a story that was looking at the immediate aftermath of a big comic book event. I feel like it's always, "Okay, here's Absolute Power, Lazarus Planet, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Beast World, 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Knight Terrors..." But what happens after the big summer event? People were hurt, and there has to be some💛 kind of political and emotional fallout from all of this, because some big shit happened. Gamorra was overthrown again, and then was the site of another would be dictator's theatrical fall. A president wa💃s assassinated so now what? We just move on?

That's where Jay is at. He's like, "I see everyone around me itching to get back to normal, but I don't have that option. So what am I supposed to do?" And with J𓄧on, he's watching his boyfriend and his friend kind of gas each other up into this revenge s🐻piral. He's like, "Hey, hey, hey, we're still the good guys, right?"

And that's were joining the Secret Six comes in. What can you say about the rest of the line-up?

We picked these characters because we wanted to make sure at least half the team wa🔴s, you know, classic Secret Six members – I get there's a little bit of, "What the f*** is Superman doing there?!" I wanted to take this specific position that these three characters find themselves in, where they've been the good guys, and now they're kind of at the start of this potential villain origin story. And then we also have Catman, Deadshot, and Black Alice, who have all historically tried to be good, but they're just so good at being bad. They're also kind of in a situation where they're like, when the world decides you're the bad guy, Mama, you're the bad guy. There's not a whole lot you can𓄧 do to shake that label.

It's easy for Jon. He's got a big Superman emblem on his chest, so he will always default to being the good guy, at least in other people's eyes. Jay and Nia are new on the ♏scene – they don't get that option. We've seen Green Arrow being welcomed back with open arms into the Justice Society. Dreamer? You think she got one of those cute little Justice League cards? Noooo!

She literally died as well!

She literally died! That's the other thing, Dreamer's like, "Guess I𓃲'm immortal, so now I have to keep dealing with this. I have to keep trying to do good, even though everything I touch seems to turn to ash and I just cannot, for the life of me, make a good decision." I was talking with some of the editors and I was telling them something I'd seen on Bluesky was that some of the some of the kids have dubbed her the ultimate girl failure, which I think is so fitting and so fantastic. I'm happy that we finally have someone to really firmly stand in that niche at DC. We have plenty of girl bosses. ꦜWe have Diana Prince and we have Lois Lane. What about the girl failures?

Obviously you've built a really strong connection with Nia over the last few years, both on TV and in comics...

Some would say unhealthy.

What's it like for you as a writer getting to really own and steer this character?

I love it. I'm always asked, do I want to write other characters? And I'm like, of course, but this is what I want to be doing now. I do have such a deep connection with her, and I thin♔k she's so freaking cool. I do have a five year plan, and there's nothing wrong with that. I'm so blessed to be in a position where DC keeps saying yes to me and I've been so lucky that they have allowed me to continue this and to learn on the job. It truly is the ultimate honor to get to shepherd this character from the show into comics and have her be a part of these big events.

And, you know, not to be "woke" [laughs], but to have one of these major characters – especially right♌ now in the political climate – be a trans woman and have it not be the center of her story, while also recognizing that this is a part of her life... In the first couple of pages of Secret Six #1 we see her having this vision of her bottom surgery, which I don't know if we've done that in comics yet. I think to be able to have those bits of representation and those little nods to another part of who she is as we're being told "it doesn't exist, there's only two genders," – I think it is fantastic to be able to continue having this visibility in comics.

Also, to have her flanked by the bisexual Superman with his gay boyfriend, and then with Black Alice, whatever the f*** she is – you try to give her a label and she'd turn you into a frog and then do something horrible to you. And then we have Catman, the resident bisexual daddy and whatever the f*** he's got going on with Deadshot... It's fun. And that is the true meaning o🧔f Secret Six!

Secret Six #1 is out now from DC.

We also talked with Nicole last year 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:about Suicide Squad: Dream Team.

The threat of William Pureford – or Wil, as he prefers to be called – was introduced at the end of last October's Batman #153, when this mysterious antagonist pursued legal action against Wayne in the hope of gaining "legitimacy" as the heir to his fortune. This is not the first time that Batman comics have flirted with the idea of Bruce having a secret sibling, of course, but 'The Dying City' arc committed to it by quickly revealing that Thomas Wayne really did embark on a brief ꦚaffair with Pu🎃reford's mother, many years ago. But does that make Wil his son?

Spoilers for Batman #157

Let's cut to the chase: No, Wil is not Bruce Wayne’s brother. A DNA test is taken and it's quickly established that the two are not related.

What's perhaps more interesting, however, is Wil's reason for dropping the case against Bruce – which he does before the results of the DNA test come in. In a quiet scene between the two men towards the end of the iss༒ue, he reveals what this has all been about.

Wil was persuaded into filing the case against Bruce and decided to go along with it largely to make a point and to sc💜are him. He has grown up knowing that the two might be related while also hearing about Bruce’s tiresome celebrity exploits. He's grown frustrated at how he has seemingly frittered away his wealth instead of using it to help people (Wil, for his part, is a doctor – and of course doesn't know that Bruce is secretly using his money to fund his career as Batman). The goal with all of this was to remind his "brother" that his wealth could fall away at any moment. "You should alwa🥀ys feel in danger of losing it," he says in the issue's most pointed line of dialogue. "That's how the rest of the world feels, paycheck to paycheck."

The two part on reasonablyꦆ good terms. Wil doesn't want any of Bruce's fortune or even to know if they are related or not. He's happy in his own life and just wants things to get back to normal. He does, however, use it as an opportunity to give Bruce a (slightly unnecessary) pep talk a💖bout using his life to help others. It's a noble sentiment, though it does slightly make you want to grab Wil, give him a good shake, and shout, "He's bloody Batman! He's done a lot more to help than you, mate."

Elsewhere in the issue, Zdarksy and artists Jorge Jiménez and Tony S. Daniel wrapped up the run with an all-action finale. Batman shot the wings off the airliner that Leonid Kull was fleeing in and miraculously managed to land it in Gotham without killing anybody. He then grappled with and defeated Commander Star – 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:AKA the KGBeast. Meanwhile, Jim Gordon beat up the Riddler, lea🔯ding𝄹 to Edward Nygma’s latest arrest.

Speaking of Jim, he's planning to return to the force, even if that means working 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:under Vandal Savage. In a classic Batman and Gordon moody rooftop meet-up, he admits to still feeling intense guilty over his affair with Koyuki and his part (even if mind-controlled) in 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Nakano’s death. Bruce sums up the big theme of this final arc and what he has learned through Wil, that people are flawed and that the best anyone can ever try to be is a decent human being. And with that he takes to the air ready for his next adventure and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the return of Hush…

Batman #157 is out now from DC.

The original Hush is one of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the best Batman comics of all time.

"The Sandman series has always been focused ✨exclusively on Dream's story, and back in 2022, when we looked at the remaining Dream material from the comics, we knew we only had enough story for one more season. We are extremely grateful to Netflix for bringing the team all back together and giving us the time and resources to make a faithful adaptation in a way that we hope will surprise and delight the comics' loyal readers as well as fans of our show."

Netflix's statem🌺ent notably makes no mention of the elephant in the room: . Multiple other projects based on Gaiman's work have also beeꦿn canceled in recent weeks.

That said, Netflix has a habit of ending even its most popular s♚hows after only two or three seasons, so there's still a solid chance that The Sandman would have ended sooner than fans of the show and its revered 𝕴comic book source material may have wanted under better circumstances.

Prior to all of this, the cast and crew of Netflix's adaptation of The Sandman previously 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:pulled off the seemingly impossible by delivering on many of the comic's best and most memorable moments, and most importantly capturing the ephemer🦂al, literary spirit of the comic. The second season is still set to premiere on Netflix some time later this year.

Writers Jeremy Adams and 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Morgan Hampton, alongside artist Fernando Pasarin, inker Oclair Albert, and colorist Arif Prianto, are charting the course of the Corps' adventures in a new ongoing series launching this February. The comic brings together different characters from across the Green Lantern mythology, including the likes of John Stewart, Jo Mullein, Guy Gardner, and many more to tackle both everyday cop problems like trafficking, and the larger threats posed by the villainous likes of 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the Sorrow. Newsarama caught up with Adams and Hampton to find out 💙more about the new series and how the increasingly troubled John Stewart is doing right now...

Newsarama: Hi Jeremy and Morgan! To start us off, what can you say about where we find the members of the Green Lantern Corps at the start of this new series?

Jeremy Adams: So.🌠.. what happened a while ago was that all the central power batteries for the other Emotional Spectrum colors have been destroyed, and there was one source Lantern on Oa. A big fight happened and that was destroyed, so there's only one battery left, which is the Green Lantern power battery. So the Green Lantern Corps is reinstated and kind oꦑf self-governing with the same mission statement, which is, go into the universe and be cops. But you have a little quirk, which is that some people in the universe are going to start manifesting randomly, a part of the Emotional Spectrum, which can be overwhelmingly dangerous. There's not as many [Lanterns] as there used to be, so there's a recruitment drive happening and they're trying to get the mechanisms of the Corps back in place.

We see a bit of the recruitment drive you just mentioned in #1. Will that be a big focus of the comic going forward?

Adams: We have some newer characters that will get introduced, but we'll mainly be focusing on some of the fan favorite characters. Our philosophy is that we wanted to do a couple of issues foc🎃used on one character in the A plot and another character in the B plot, and then we'll move on to the next characters. We won't stop talking about the others, we just want to give enough focus so that people are excited to see their favorites.

Morgan Hampton: Think of it like Star Trek, where tܫhe bridge crew is in every episode, but the focus kind of shifts depending on what the episode is.

Adams: Yes! Trek is exactly right, yeah, except therꦅe's no Prime Directive.

John Stewart is the lead in this first issue and he's in a strange space at the moment, with some turbulent emotional stuff going on. What can you tell us about that?

Hampton: He's in an inte⛦resting spot, yeah. Just coming out of Phillip Kennedy Johnson’s run, there were so💮me interesting things from a philosophical standpoint that John did that we kind of want to wrestle with a little bit. He's very much presenting like everything is okay, but internally, he's working through some stuff.

Adams: He's done some really wild stuff! He has a construct of his dead sister, and that's… I don't know, that seems strange to me! [laughs] I think that we could hide it and have everybody be like, "Oh, it's OK!" But I think that realistically, people are going to go, "Should you d🃏o that?" 🎉There's certain things that are going to be really interesting to explore.

It’s already out there that Hawkwoman is going to play a part in this book. How does she fit in?

Adams: That's a good question! Well, first of all, the redesign by Fernando is great. If you've been reading the Green Lantern book, Mogo took a giant chunk out of Thanagar – like, it's basically destroyed.🗹 There's very few Thanagarians left, so I think that Hawkwoman has a lot of grief and anger – and Thanagarians aren't really known for therapy, so there's lots [to explore] there. We're also playing off our love of [a꧅nimated series] Justice League Unlimited. There’s this kind of undercurrent of feeling between John and her, even if that hasn't been in the main continuity, and that's going to be interesting see play out.

Hampton: It’s been a lot of fun to figure out and flesh out what exactly we're going to do there, because we know that, even i𓆏f it’s maybe not in continuity, fans are clamoring for there to be something. So how do we play with that, you know?

Adams: My first credit on television was Green Lantern: The Animated series. And so there's things that we're pulling into the main continuity now. Razer’s in the Green Lantern Corps now. Also in the world of the Thanaga𓆉rians, Nth Metal has a really big part to play in the ongoing arc.

Jeremy, you've a long history with Green Lantern, but how about you Morgan? Are you a longtime fan?

Hampton: Yeah. I was maybe high school age when the Geoff Johns run was coming out and my mind was blown. I've always been a🅰𝔉 big fan of Green Lantern. I also grew up on the Justice League cartoon where John Stewart was my Green Lantern, so I've always had that special relationship with him. So yeah, getting the call to do this was like, "Oh wow!" Now I get to really put my spin on some of these characters that are some of the coolest in the DC universe.

How did your collaboration come about?

Hampton: I just happened to be emailing Paul [Kaminski, DC editor] being like, "Hey, I’ve got a Green Lantern pitch. Would you like to read it?" And he hit me up maybe a month later, and w💎as like, "We're doing this book and we'd like you to write it with Jeremy." Me and Jeremy had alrea🔯dy been in contact about other stuff, so it just felt like a natural progression of that relationship.

Was that pitch anything like the Green Lantern Corps book that the two of you have made?

Hampton: No, not at a💮ll. It's something that maybe down the road I want to do, becausꦿe I really liked the idea.

How different is it for you both as writers penning a team book like this compared to, say, what Morgan was doing on Cyborg?

Hampton: I just came off of a Star Trek book. It's not as big a cast as this, but i෴t was the most characters that I've ever written. This is a bigger scale than even that was, but I think I'm coming off of something that really helped me as a writer to kind of be able to facilitate that process in this book.

Adams: When I've started other books, I've a🐻lways kind of focused on the main character, but then it gets a little out of hand and I add in a lot of characters! I want to make sure that every one of these characters gets a moment, you know, that we can concentrate on them and that we're not giving anybody short shrift. I think what's cool about this is that if you like Green Lantern, and maybe you dip in and out, this is going to be the place that you get to know everybody very quickly. I hope this will generate a lot of fandom around each character.

You're working with Fernando Pasarin on this book. What do you enjoy about Fernando's work?

Hampton: Getting pages from Fernando e🐻very couple days, it’s like, “How did you do this?” There's so much stuff going on even in the background. It really does feel like this is a worl𒈔d that exists. And you can tell how much passion that he has for the project, because it shows on the page.

Adams: The amount of detail that Fernando puts into any individual panel is bananas. It's not like, we go, “Hey, popu♏late the background with all this stuff.” We're mindful of time and energy, but then he comes out, and he shows us something.

Hampton: He's doing the type of stuff t𓂃hat if you wrote this in a script, your artist wou💞ld be pissed off at you!
