Exclusive Preview of JOE KUBERT PRESENTS #5

Last month, JOE KUBERT PRESENTS #4 continued the gorgeous anthology-style six issue miniseries curated by the legendary Joe Kubert.

In stores on Wednesday, issue #5 features the return of Sgt. Rock brought to you by Paul Levitz and Joe Kubert—in a tale unlike any you’ve read before! In “Farewell,” a father and his son fulfill his father’s dying wish and reminisce about an American Icon.

Next up is another chapter of Sam Glanzman’s heart-wrenching tale of his time served in WWII: “U.S.S. Stevens, Back and Forth 1941-1944.” Glanzman reflects upon significant moments of WWII and the U.S.S. Steven’s place within them.

Another tale by Kubert tells his first biker story. In “The Biker,” a war veteran is haunted by the ghost of a mysterious woman that he remembers from his days back in Afghanistan.

And in the continuing adventures of “Angel and the Ape,” Angel and Sam reveal how their unique partnership came to be. How did Angel meet everyone’s favorite ape detective? Find out in another hilarious take by Brian Buniak.

Plus, don’t miss another “Spit” story, where Spit learns to stand up for himself!

Hitting stands tomorrow, JOE KUBERT PRESENTS #5 continues a far ranging collection of stories from Kubert and his peers. Click here for an exclusive preview of the various stories featured in the issue.

"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

Exclusive Preview of LEGION: SECRET ORIGIN #6

For the past six months, fans of the Legionairres have seen the team form and develop in the explosive LEGION: SECRET ORIGIN. Today, the miniseries comes to an end and we here at THE SOURCE chatted to its creative team about what it’s been like working on this title and its lasting implications for the Legionairres.

 

“It's been great fun to explore the Legion's beginnings with a new look and new revelations,” writer Paul Levitz told THE SOURCE. “With Chris and Marc's energy, and the combination of new characters and new elements, we've planted bits that will be back in the Legion for years to come!”

 

“It's always a pleasure to return to the Legion,” said co-artist Chris Batista. “Let's hope we get to do this dance again! I hope you all enjoy what we put together.”

 

“Being fairly new to the Legion of Superheroes, I was really most excited to be working with Chris Batista and Paul Levitz,” continued co-artist Marc Deering. “Chris is able to catch some really great acting with his facial features and body language. I loved getting the real emotional story across through the characters acting that Chris brought to every page. Working with those kinds of really confident lines was a dream for me. Then bringing my A-game to the mix was essential. This was a great foray into the Legion for me being aided and guided by two of the Legion’s most enduring creators. Let's do this again!”
