Exclusive Preview of DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #18

This week in DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS, writer Joe Keatinge and artist Federico Dallocchio continue to spotlight everyone’s favorite Outlaws by putting Starfire center stage in her own solo adventure!

In “Without Honor or Humanity,” Starfire travels to a far off planet to liberate a group of imprisoned villagers. But will they be willing to accept her help? Or will Koriand’r cause more problems than she could ever imagine?

“After working with illustrator Ricken on our Arsenal issue, I got the bug to do more with the Outlaws, so getting the immediate opportunity to work with illustrator Federico Dallocchio on Starfire is very, very ideal,” Keatinge recently told THE SOURCE. “Even better, she's a character I've liked for a long time now, especially in the classic Wolfman/Perez Titans era. Shining a solo spotlight to where she's at now in DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 is something I'm very enthusiastic about.”

DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #18 goes on sale tomorrow!

(Everybody’s Talkin’ About) DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, Monday Afternoon (ET) Edition

Sunday’s NEW YORK POST covered this weekend’s New York Comic Con and teased upcoming convention announcements. “It’s a great thing it’s here in New York,” said DC Entertainment Editor-in-Chief Bob Harras. “It’s very exciting for us.” The POST's coverage broke the very first DC Comics news of the Con: Andy Kubert will be illustrating a two part story in ACTION COMICS.

This morning, THE NEW YORK POST followed up with another exclusive announcement sure to get folks talking: Wonder Woman's new origin in DC COMICS-THE NEW 52. “In this case, making her a god actually makes her more human, more relatable," said DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee. Head over to THE NEW YORK POST’s website for their full coverage, including the first look at WONDER WOMAN #2, in stores next week.

Can't wait for more announcements at NYCC? There are plenty of previews to keep you occupied ‘til then. Witness:

USA TODAY has the exclusive preview of SUICIDE SQUAD #2 by Adam Glass, Federico Dallocchio and Andrei Bressan. “They're making decisions and doing things that have real costs to them, and those costs are people's lives: their own or other people's," Glass said of the Suicide Squad. "You're on a team with a group of people and you don't know if someone's gonna stick it in your back."

WIRED’s GEEKDAD has your first look at DEATHSTROKE #2 by Kyle Higgins, Joe Bennett and Art Thibert. “It won’t be very long until the heroes and villains alike know just who the scariest dude in the new DC universe truly is,” GEEKDAD wrote of Deathstroke.

COMIC BOOK RESOURCES previewed RESURRECTION MAN #2 by Dan Abnett, Andy Lanning and Fernando Dagnino. They also interviewed BATMAN and SWAMP THING writer Scott Snyder as part of their ongoing BAT SIGNAL coverage. “What Gotham does is try to convince you that the things you consider your great strengths as a hero are your weaknesses, your weak spots,” Snyder said about BATMAN. “For Bruce that really is his confidence and his sense of knowledge and wisdom about the city, his confidence as its protector.” Be sure to read the full interview for your exclusive look at the cover to BATMAN #5.

Meanwhile, YAHOO!’s ASSOCIATED CONTENT interviewed writers Geoff Johns about AQUAMAN and Judd Winick about BATWING. “The goal of the first adventure takes place to establish how Aquaman is perceived on land and how he's perceived in the ocean,” Johns said of AQUAMAN’s premiere story arc. “Then we send him off on a journey to find out the biggest mystery of all: who sank Atlantis and why.”

And over at GEEKDAD, writer Corinna Lawson decided to do some research on Duane Swierczynski’s previous work before checking him out as the new writer for BIRDS OF PREY. “There’s no doubt that if non-stop, cool action sequences with fun characters are your thing, you need to read some Swierczynski stories.”

To be continued …

GREEN ARROW EDITOR ADAM SCHLAGMAN TALKS RISE AND FALL

But before we pass the mic to Adam, let me dust off ye olde Spoiler Warning: Do not click below until you've read the final issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE.

Done? What a finale, huh?

OK, take it away, Adam:

In JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE #7 Green Arrow murdered Prometheus -- but it's not over yet! With his city lying in devastation, his former sidekick dismembered and his granddaughter dead, the Emerald Archer continues to seek out his own brand of Justice from those responsible for the tragedies that have befallen him.

Hitting stores March 10th, JUSTICE LEAGUE: RISE & FALL SPECIAL #1 showcases Ollie embracing his role as a hunter. Green Arrow's a protector -- but what happens when you fail as hero? Ollie's always been a man of the people, the first one to speak up. Now he's saying enough is enough and is taking matters into his own hands.

J.T. Krul (Blackest Night: Titans) is a fast-rising DC superstar writer that really understands our characters, their motivations and their beliefs. He is one of the architects behind the RISE AND FALL event, weaving the SPECIAL, which serves as a launching point for the event, with the help of the immensely talented Mike Mayhew (Blackest Night: Tales of the Corps), Diogenes Neves (Black Lantern Green Arrow) and Fabrizio Fiorentino (Titans: Villains for Hire).

But the hunter becomes the hunted in GREEN ARROW #31 on sale March 17th, as the FALL OF GREEN ARROW begins. I personally guarantee that Ollie's life will be drastically changed following these two issues, as the Justice League of America comes after the Emerald Archer. What are the World's Greatest Heroes' thoughts on becoming judge, jury and executioner? The Flash (Barry Allen) once killed Zoom, Green Lantern (Hal Jordan) went insane when his city was destroyed and what does Black Canary, his wife, believe is just? Find out in this engrossing tale told by J.T. Krul and up-and-coming artist Federico Dallocchio (Faces of Evil: Prometheus).

JUSTICE LEAGUE: THE RISE OF ARSENAL is a four issue miniseries penned by J.T. Krul and drawn by Geraldo Borges that starts on March 24th. Roy Harper's lost his arm, his daughter and now a chance at revenge. What does Red Arrow think of his former mentor's killing spree, and what dark path is he journeying toward that even his friends and teammates won't be able to prevent?

James Robinson, the brains behind Cry For Justice, with artist extraordinaire Mark Bagley (Trinity) brings the Rise and Fall to the JLA in JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #43, being released on March 31st. When word of Ollie's murder reaches the current league, will they take up arms with Ollie or will they put him in handcuffs? The JLA reaches another turning point as the guilt from freeing Prometheus reaches critical mass.

DON'T MISS OUT ON THE CHARACTER DRIVEN EVENT OF THE SPRING!

THIS IS THE RISE AND FALL!
