In the fourth issue of MY GREATEST ADVENTURE, an anthology-style miniseries, the wild and various adventures of Robotman, Garbage Man and the alien Tanga continue.

In “Uncanny Valley, Part 4” by Matt Kindt and Scott Kolins, Robotman’s origins are revealed as he attempts to survive a brutal attack that leaves him helpless and isolated.

“Dream Monsters” by Aaron Lopresti and Matt Ryan finds Garbage Man facing a bloodthirsty and unnamed prehistoric-looking creature. And it looks like there are more where it came from. Can Garbage Man and his old friend The Reverend put a stop to the catalyst for these beasts’ treacherous appearances before they take over Gotham City?

And in “Tanga: Besieged” by Kevin Maguire, Tanga battles Za across the galaxy. But will she be able to claim victor before Za’s powers overrule her own?

MY GREATEST ADVENTURE #4 goes on sale this Wednesday.

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.

In Los Angeles this Friday? COMIC BOOK RESOURCES and Golden Apple Comics will be co-hosting a wrap party for the release of the first issues of DC Comics-The New 52. In attendance will be Brian Buccellato (THE FLASH), Bernard Chang (DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS), Dan DiDio (O.M.A.C.), Joshua Hale Fialkov (I, VAMPIRE), Sterling Gates (HAWK & DOVE), Adam Glass (Suicide Squad), Kyle Higgins (NIGHTWING/DEATHSTROKE) and Scott Lobdell (SUPERBOY/TEEN TITANS/RED HOOD AND THE OUTLAWS). For full details about the event, head on over to COMIC BOOK RESOURCES.

IGN continued their series of interviews with all of the creative teams behind DC Comics-The New 52. “I'm already growing attached to our first villain (and creation), Mob Rule,” THE FLASH co-writer Brian Buccellato said. “We are NOT making life easy for The Flash…why should we?”

And speaking of THE FLASH, IFANBOY has selected the first issue as their “Pick of the Week.” This marks the fifth consecutive week that they’ve chosen a title from DC Comics-The New 52. Ron Richards wrote a fantastic post about his connection to the character to accompany their selection. “When creating stories about The Flash, it’s all about speed and momentum,” he wrote. “Both in depicting The Flash within the book and the pace of the story itself. It’s clear with THE FLASH #1 that Manpul and Buccellato understand that. The kinetic energy that comes from drawing The Flash clearly is spread to the story itself and as of right now, I’m super excited to be a fan of The Flash once again.”

IGN also caught up with I, VAMPIRE writer Joshua Hale Fialkov and AQUAMAN writer Geoff Johns. “She's a lot more aggressive than most of our heroes in the DC Universe. But she is incredibly strong and she's incredibly loyal,” Johns said of Mera. “The first issue kind of sets the stage for Aquaman and then Mera comes into the book, and – I think it's issue #6 – is actually just going to focus on Mera. So for me, ever since BLACKEST NIGHT, pulling her out of obscurity and putting her into it and building her up, I think it just makes Aquaman stronger and it adds another iconic female superhero to the DC Universe.”
