Welcome to Your Con Away From Con

Over 50,000 people will be at WonderCon this weekend, but we’re guessing that if you’re reading this, you’re probably not one of them. That means you’re going to miss out on the chance to soak up the Southern California rain or take photos with all the cosplayers, but that doesn’t mean you’ll be missing out on any of the exciting DC news and announcements.

 

If you’re not going to be in Anaheim this weekend (or even if you are), this page is your “Con Away From Con.” Keep an eye on it all weekend long for photos, videos and breaking news coming out of WonderCon.

DC Week-In-Review: March 16

We’re not claiming to be Guardians over here, but we’re pretty sure there’s a cosmic law stating that any week beginning and ending with BEFORE WATCHMEN news is going to be a good one. And this week was very good here at DCComics.com. We announced the release dates for the first four issues of Before Watchmen, broke down a couple of “wonderful” pages from BATMAN: ARKHAM UNHINGED, and debuted an exclusive image from SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE, our latest full-length animated feature. And all of this was before the start of WonderCon on Friday.

 

Here’s some of the DC news to hit the website this week…

 

Let’s start with that Before Watchmen news. NITE OWL, SILK SPECTRE, THE COMEDIAN and THE MINUTEMEN are all coming in June. So make your plans now.

 

Can’t wait till Wednesday? Yeah, we’re not much for waiting either, so we’re giving you early looks at Wednesday’s new comics, like Monday’s preview of GREEN LANTERN #7 or Tuesdays previews of, well, pretty much everything else.

 

We also broke down two pages from next week’s issue of BATMAN: ARKHAM UNHINGED. Who knew Vicki Vale looked so good in graphite?

 

Planning on spending the weekend in Anaheim? You’ll definitely want to take a look at our WonderCon schedule, and join us tonight for the premiere of SUPERMAN VS. THE ELITE.

 

Finally, we wrapped things up by revealing the new look of SWAMP THING, care of BUZZFEED, and setting Len Wein and J. Michael Straczynski loose on the fine folks at AICN to talk about Before Watchmen.

 

Bookended by Before Watchmen. That’s a stellar week and that’s this week’s Week-In-Review. See you in seven!
