For this week’s installment of Preview Mondays, we’re giving you exclusive first looks at SUPERBOY #8 and SAUCER COUNTRY #2.

Setting the stage for “The Culling,” SUPERBOY #8 acts as a prelude to its crossover event with TEEN TITANS, LEGION LOST and the upcoming DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 “Second Wave” title, THE RAVAGERS. But what is The Culling? What are Ravagers? And how do they relate to one another? Find out in SUPERBOY #8, brought to you by the creative team of Scott Lobdell, Tom DeFalco, Iban Coello, RB Silva and Rob Lean. Click here to check out an exclusive preview of the issue.

In last month’s inaugural issue of SAUCER COUNTRY, writer Paul Cornell and artist Ryan Kelly introduced you to Arcadia Alvarado, a governor from New Mexico who is running for President of the United States. The twist? She believes that she was abducted by aliens. The series’ second issue, out this Wednesday, picks up immediately where its predecessor left off – with Arcadia telling trusted members of her staff about the looming threat of a full-on alien invasion. But will Arcadia’s confidants believe her and does revealing this information put her entire campaign in jeopardy? Find out in SAUCER COUNTRY #2, previewed exclusively here.

It's Tuesday morning. Do you know where your previews are? Here's a rundown of exclusive previews from the 13 new issues from DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 on sale tomorrow. Ready?

CNN’s GEEK OUT has your first look at GREEN LANTERN #2 by Geoff Johns, Doug Mahnke, Christian Alamy and Keith Champagne.

MAXIM has the exclusive preview of BATMAN AND ROBIN #2 by Peter J. Tomasi, Patrick Gleason and Mick Gray.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER’s HEAT VISION previewed FRANKENSTEIN, AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E. #2.

THE LOS ANGELES TIMES’ HERO COMPLEX debuted pages from MISTER TERRIFIC #2 by Eric Wallace, Gianluca Gugliotta and Wayne Faucher.

IGN gave you your first glimpse at SUPERBOY #2 by Scott Lobdell, R.B. Silva and Rob Lean.

Following yesterday's NEW YORK POST newsbreak, AIN’T IT COOL NEWS caught up with WONDER WOMAN writer Brian Azzarello. “You read some of those stories, those are the most human stories that have ever been written,” Azzarello said of the Greek mythology inspiring his series. “They are as emotionally damaged as a lot of people are. And they’re just as damaging! They’re selfish, capricious, angry, loving, loyal, they betray…they’re like human emotions turned up to 11.”

THE TORONTO STAR chatted with local Canadian artists Jeff Lemire, Francis Manapul and Ken Lashley about their respective series and DC COMICS-THE NEW 52. “I think the books are different, which is something I was looking for,” Lemire said of the relaunch. “Animal Man is a very furious, very dark, emotional story, while Frankenstein is a really big, fun action-adventure, kind of over-the-top sort of thing.”

And while everyone's still talking about DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, there's another major announcement for DC Entertainment today. Timed to the start of the Frankfurt Book Festival in Germany, USA TODAY announced Vertigo's acquisition of pop culture phenomenon The Millennium Trilogy on the front page of their Life section this morning. Stieg Larsson’s Millennium Trilogy, which chronicles the stories of computer hacker Lisbeth Salander and investigative journalist Mikael Blomkvist, will get the graphic novel treatment beginning with next year’s THE GIRL WITH THE DRAGON TATTOO. Each book in the trilogy will be divided into two volumes and will be published under DC Entertainment’s Vertigo imprint. Look for THE GIRL WHO PLAYED WITH FIRE in 2013 and THE GIRL WHO KICKED THE HORNETS’ NEST in 2014.
