Tomorrow’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 Releases

Yesterday, we linked to all of the exclusive previews of the next batch of sixth issues from DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, on sale tomorrow. Below, take a look at all the previews that ran (sorted alphabetically and separated by cover), compiled here in one easy location for your convenience.

[gallery link="file" order="DESC" columns="4"]

Previews of Wednesday’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 Releases

Here’s a round up of the exclusive previews from this week’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 releases, on sale Wednesday.

USA TODAY has your first look at BATMAN #6 and interviewed series writer Scott Snyder and series artist Greg Capullo. “The fun of the court is that they are faceless and that Bruce is frustrated by the fact that he can't figure out who they are, and that even when he was a boy he couldn't put a finger on what they've done to affect his destiny. That is going to play a very big part coming up,” Snyder said of the Court of Owls and the upcoming “Night of the Owls” crossover event that will be spanning all the Bat-books. “This second half of the story really is going to explore who is behind the mask — both in a way where you will find out some of the people who are Owls, but more importantly you'll find out who they've been historically to Gotham and how they've shaped the Bat-mythology in ways that I think will be really shocking to people.”

COMIC BOOK RESOURCES has a sneak peek at NIGHTWING #6, NEWSARAMA unleashed their claws by revealing four pages from CATWOMAN #6, COMICVINE previewed BLUE BEETLE #6 and IFANBOY took you to the 31st century with their preview of LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #6.

Meanwhile, MAXIM debuted a sequence from SUPERGIRL #6, GAWKER’s IO9 ran an exclusive preview of WONDER WOMAN #6 and IGN premiered the first four pages of BIRDS OF PREY #6. MTV GEEK has a first look at the new story arc and creative team making their debut in DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #6, UGO has a glance at RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS #6 and TOR.COM satisfied your sci-fi craving with their preview of CAPTAIN ATOM #6.
