"Second Wave" Tease: WORLDS' FINEST #1

"WORLDS' FINEST reminds me of an old Churchill line about 'a riddle wrapped in a mystery, inside an enigma.'  I hope readers will have as much fun unwrapping as we did layering the secrets through the issues.  Our heroines have fascinating backstories and complex lives aleady in their young years, and we'll be sharing connecting fragments every issue." - Paul Levitz, series writer


WORLDS' FINEST #1 lands in stores on Wednesday. Click here for a behind-the-scenes look at some of the issue's artwork by George Perez and Kevin Maguire.

Exclusive Preview of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #6

For the past six months, fans of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE have followed the wild and various adventures of Robotman, Garbage Man and the alien Tanga.

 

Today marks the release of the final issue of this anthology-style miniseries. We here at THE SOURCE spoke to the writers of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE and asked them to reflect upon their time working on the series and to tease what the last issue has in store for fans.

 

“I had a great time working on this title - and I mean literally,” Robotman writer Matt Kindt told us. “The title itself has so much history attached to it - and growing up reading Doom Patrol in all its incarnations just made this a childhood dream come true. I knew going in I'd have a lot to live up to and I feel like I was able to come at Cliff Steele in a slightly different way. That last issue has some great plot surprises but the biggest reveal is Cliff's true nature. He discovers it, and so will we!”

 

"It has been a great privilege to write and draw this inaugural Garbage Man story,” said Garbage Man writer Aaron Lopresti. “I loved being able to pay homage to the creators and characters of the monster comics that so captivated me growing up in the 70's. This final issue ties up the various story threads, delivers justice to the villains and sets the table for the future. What more could you ask for in 10 pages?!"

 

"I'm thrilled that DC allowed me to tell this story and introduce Tanga,” continued Tanga writer and artist Kevin Maguire. “I've enjoyed working on this more than anything else in my career so far. I hope one day, I get the chance to tell new stories with her."

DC Comics All Access: Joey Cavalieri

Gimme a second, I'll be with you in just a little bit. The next issue of ANIMAL MAN is about to off to the printer, and I need to make sure that it's got everything it should. Sheer, stark terror at overwhelming forces beyond human comprehension, depicted in ways that would give Caligula nightmares? Check. The requisite amount of complete and utter strangeness that leaves even the most jaded comic book readers slackjawed? Check. Enough domestic squabbling among the Bakers to make our fans feel like the time they spent with their own families during the holidays was totally kumbaya by comparison? Check. Yep, thumbs up. This one's ready to go!

Now I can get on the phone with Jeff Lemire and we can talk about the year ahead for the benighted Baker clan. Spoiler alert: it's looking too good. For them, that is. You, on the other hand, are in for the thrill-ride of your lives.

Moritat has put the finishing touches on his inspired art for the latest issue of ALL STAR WESTERN, and it's a gem, a beauty, a joy to behold. Just to tease: beyond the usual deft characterizations and architectural delights, the particular issue all boils down to location, location, location. Two words: "Bat Cave." If you've been avoiding this title because of the word "Western" in it, let me tell you, I used to feel the same way. Then I grew up. Take it from a guy who never starts a sentence with the word "seriously." Seriously, Jimmy Palmiotti, Justin Gray and Moritat have broadened the horizons of what you can expect from a comic book Western. It would be a shame if you missed this because of some unfortunate predisposition toward people in Stetsons. The frontier symbolized freedom for generations, and in our small way it represents a creative freedom that has made the book a trailblazer.

Kevin Maguire dropped by yesterday, and I promised him that I'd try to get everybody here to learn to count to 53. The unofficial fifty-third book, at least from my standpoint, is MY GREATEST ADVENTURE, strong accent on the word "GREATEST." Kev showed me the pages for the "Tanga" feature in the latest issue, and they're just as wild and uninhibited and imaginative as anything he's ever done. Have you noticed how he's become the master of facial expression? Have you been laughing at Kevin's way of giving Tanga just the right smart remark? Have you been checking out the amazing coloring by Rosemary Cheetham? She made me say that. Actually, no, she didn't at all, but I think you should see it, if you like looking at things that are amazing. The stuff just doesn't look like anything else out there, and that gladdens me. Other amazing things in the book are Matt Kindt and Scott Kolins' Robotman feature, and Aaron Lopresti's Garbage Man. They really shine. When you're at the comic book rack, flip through MY GREATEST ADVENTURE and see for yourself. It's "one louder."

Your pal,

Joey Cavalieri

In “Depraved,” written and pencilled by Aaron Lopresti and inked by Matt Ryan, Batman offers his services to Garbage Man’s cause to figure out and expose the corrupt truths behind the Titan Research Facility.

Exclusive Preview of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #2

Last month marked the release of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE, a six-issue anthology-style miniseries that chronicles the separate adventures of Robot Man, Garbage Man and the alien Tanga.

“Beauty and the Bat” by Aaron Lopresti and Matt Ryan, picks up in Gotham City, where Garbage Man had just made his return and was seeking out his old friend, The Reverend. But will a visit from Gotham’s protector, The Dark Knight, jeopardize Garbage Man’s journey of self-discovery?

In “Uncanny Valley, Part 2,” writer Matt Kindt and artist Scott Kolins continue the tribulations of Robotman, who last we saw, was being devoured by a restaurant full of angry zombies. Can Robotman preserve what’s left of his humanity by stopping what’s causing these people to turn into zombies without hurting them? And when he’s attacked by a giant mechanical beast, will Robotman have met his match?

And the last issue of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE ended with Tanga being stuck in a state of paralysis while she was forced to watch innocent people get murdered. Now, in “Tanga: Unloved,” by Kevin Maguire, she must gain back control of her powers and body before stopping the cruelty unfolding before her eyes.

MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #2 is in stores today.
