The DC offices may be closed for the week but that doesn’t mean we don’t want to celebrate the holidays with you and thank you for an incredible year. Each day on THE SOURCE this week, we’ll be revealing covers of various eighth issues from DC COMICS-THE NEW 52.

Today, check out the exclusive debut of the cover for THE SAVAGE HAWKMAN #8, illustrated by Philip Tan and colored by Sunny Gho.

And so 2011 draws to a close.

By any definition, it was an incredibly successful year for us here at DC Comics. It was a year of excitement for anyone who loves comics.

Now, not to sound corny -- but the most important thing to us is that all of you who love and read DC Comics responded in such an incredibly positive way to The New 52.

We appreciate it. It's why we do what we do.

But 2011 was just the beginning. Next year will bring even more changes, more action and more surprises. The evolution of the DC Universe will continue and accelerate as events ripple across titles, impacting characters in unexpected ways.

For instance, check out next month's STORMWATCH, in which a devastating explosion will echo in upcoming issues of both GRIFTER and SUPERMAN, as a major new (yet somehow familiar) threat will be introduced.

And keep an eye on BIRDS OF PREY in the coming months, where Black Canary's long-held secrets will start to unravel.

And what exactly is Kid Flash's story? TEEN TITANS will explore that mystery early next year.

All that and more is coming in 2012.

So, best wishes for a Happy New Year from all of us at DC.

See you next year!

I love to cook and there's some great cookbooks out there for other people that do. Some of my favorite recent ones are THE MOZZA COOKBOOK which comes from a fantastic italian restaurant and pizzeria in Los Angeles, co-owned by Mario Batali.

The MOMOFUKU MILK BAR cookbook focuses on unbelievably unique dessert recipes from chef Christina Tosi, who is a cook after my own heart. Included in this book are recipes for cereal milk ice cream, this stuff called crumb and crack pie. A truly fun cookbook.

Finally, there's a book called THE NEW GREEK CUISINE that comes from a Greek restaurant called Molyvos that is just around the corner from the DC offices in New York City. Peter Tomasi and I plotted a lot of Green Lantern stories there. There's a baklava recipe that (almost) rivals my grandmother's.

Happy Holidays!
