JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA to feature MANHUNTER back-up co-written by Matt Kindt

 

Earlier today, MTV GEEK announced that beginning with issue #2, JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA will feature a new back-up series starring MANHUNTER co-written by Matt Kindt and Geoff Johns and illustrated by Scott Clark.


We asked Kindt about taking on the character Manhunter and here’s what he had to say, "I can't tell you how excited I am to be working on this. I grew up with the JLA and Manhunter was one of the few characters I felt had so much more un-mined potential than most of the other characters. His powers and abilities really lend themselves to the kind of stories I love to tell. And working with Geoff? That's like the cherry on top. But more than just being fun from the fan/reader part of me, we're really working to make the back-ups be an essential part of the reading experience. We're treating the back-up like the harmony to the main melody of the issue."

 

Head over to MTV GEEK for the first interview with Matt Kindt about the story.


JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #2 by Geoff Johns and artist David Finch arrives March 6, 2013.


 

Supertown Breakdown

Writer Marc Guggenheim and artist Scott Kolins are working on a big canvas with their "Supertown" storyline. Issue 47 sees events play out in Gotham City and Jacksonville, FL and features appearances by Manhunter and Blue Devil and a sinister development with the appropriately named Dr. Chaos. The JSA is already reeling from recent events. Can the team survive what happens next?

JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA #47 goes on sale Wednesday. Here's an advance look at the issue.

Zsasz returns in the pages of STREETS OF GOTHAM #4

Writer Paul Dini and artist Dustin Nguyen continue to tell tales stories from Batman's city in the latest issue of BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM. And with Batman's recent "Bruce Wayne" issues somewhat contained, Gotham's new Dark Knight must now deal with someone far more frightening -- the frightening psycopath Victor Zsasz.

Meanwhile, in writer Marc Andreyko and artist Jeremy Haun's MANHUNTER co-feature, Kate faces off with Jane Doe, as she tries to determine why the villain offed the last DA. Will Jane flip on her boss the Black Mask? We're not telling. But the pages below might have some clues for you.

BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #4 hits 9/16.

Time for a few pages from BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #2

In the second issue of writer Paul Dini and artist Dustin Nguyen's new ongoing Batman series, Commissioner Gordon must team up with the new Caped Crusader to battle the Firefly's deadly new methods. And, since one villain is never enough, the baddie known as Abuse starts making some noise in the streets of Gotham. Get it?

Here's a look at the main feature, but don't forget each issue of STREETS also sports a MANHUNTER co-feature, from writer Marc Andreyko and artist Georges Jeanty, chronicling Kate Spencer's adventures in Batman's city.

BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM #2 hits tomorrow.

A first look at the MANHUNTER co-feature

One of the co-features announced recently was MANHUNTER, from writer Marc Andreyko and the very talented Georges Jeanty. The new series, appearing monthly in the new BATMAN: STREETS OF GOTHAM title hitting in July, finds Kate Spencer in Gotham City, now the District Attorney of Batman's city. How will that play out? Unclear. But we do have a first look at Jeanty's art for the series, from pencils to finished colors, for you to take a look at.
