Editor Matt Idelson talks I,VAMPIRE/JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK Crossover

When I, VAMPIRE writer Josh Fialkov royally messed up and killed his lead character, we had no choice but to reach out to Peter Milligan, scribe of JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK to help bail us out. What resulted was one of the first crossovers of the NEW 52, encapsulating issues #7-8 of both titles.

With Andrew dead, the very first vampire ever has arisen (in Gotham, naturally), and the JLDark need to stop a primordial force. And while the battlefront on Earth is definitely pretty intense, it's the trips to other planes of reality that are going to reveal some things about the late Mr. Bennett and change the game for both books. A member of the Dark team will be a member no longer once this is done. Actually, they won't be around to be a member.

And if I haven't put you to sleep with my blathering yet, take a gander at some of the artwork from the two titles joining to tell one story!

Tomorrow’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 Releases

Earlier today, we linked to all of the exclusive previews of the last 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 tomorrow. USA TODAY has your first look at THE FLASH #6 with an interview with series writer and artist Francis Manapul and co-writer and colorist Brian Buccellato. "The Rogues are about the score — they're about getting in, getting paid and getting out. They're not the Joker, they're not Lex Luthor. They have their own way of doing things," Buccellato says. Adds Manapul: "We think the team we're forming together is going to be just as dysfunctional as the first one. That's what made them work so well, this rag-tag group that by all means should not even be together. They're like the Bad News Bears of villains, and somehow they made it work." ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY debuted a sequence from BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT #6, YAHOO! Voices premiered ALL-STAR WESTERN #6, BUZZFEED revealed pages from AQUAMAN #6, GAWKER’s IO9 ran an exclusive preview of GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS #6 and IGN previewed SUPERMAN #6.
