Tuesday Roundup: New Guardians, New Creative Team…
The aftershocks of 'Codename: Patriot' continue in SUPERMAN #692
Writer James Robinson teams up with artist Fernando Dagnino as tragedy strikes in the aftermath of "Codename: Patriot," with Metropolis burying own of its own. With a man down, the Science Police are on their own when it comes to stopping a gang of Super-Villains from stealing a formerly common commodity that has suddenly risen in value. Intrigued? Well, good.
Kevin Smith's BATMAN story continues in THE WIDENING GYRE #2
Writer/filmmaker Kevin Smith continues his collaboration with artist Walter Flanagan with the second issue of BATMAN: THE WIDENING GYRE, and to say it's loaded with surprises would be a bit of an understatement. Featuring more guest stars, more plot twists and more Bat-action, what are you waiting for? Oh, right. The issue isn't out until 9/30.
Feel the aftershocks from 'The Rise of the Olympian' in WONDER WOMAN #36
It's not a stretch to say writer Gail Simone and artist Aaron Lopresti's "The Rise of the Olympian" arc changed Wonder Woman's life completely, and it's not over for our favorite Amazon. In this issue, Diana finds herself fighting for her life against the man chosen by the gods to replace her -- Achilles, the Warkiller. Doesn't sound like much fun. At least for her.
Will the Joker cross paths with the GOTHAM CITY SIRENS?
What's got the Clown Prince of Crime riled up? What are Catwoman and Poison Ivy trying to track down? What's Harley doing on a date with Bruce Wayne? Uh, is that Bruce Wayne? These questions and a few more will be answered in GOTHAM CITY SIRENS #4, from the regular team of writer Paul Dini and artist Guillem March, which hits 9/30.
It's Magog vs. Wildcat in JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA 331
Writers Bill Willingham and Matthew Sturges continue their first arc on the series with artist Jesus Merino as a traitor is revealed and Wildcat throws down against Magog. Who's responsible for tearing the team apart from within, and is the danger greater than anyone on the team expects? We don't have all the answers, but we have a few pages below that can give you some clues.
Robinson. Bagley. Justice League of America. Now.
It all starts here. Writer James Robinson pairs with superstar artist Mark Bagley to begin their run on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. You've heard rumblings and speculation, you've read the chatter around the interwebs. But now's your chance to get a first-look at the new creative team's take on the most storied team in the DCU. To sweeten the pot, we threw in a variant cover by Andy Kubert.
An early look at the cover to JSA ALL-STARS #2
Not the final one, mind you.
