Angel Smerti’s a lady who gets what she wants – and her top priority is seeing The Spirit in a coffin. Plus, our hero’s first encounter with the sprawling criminal empire known as The Golden Tree reveals that the organization threatens much more than just Central City. All of this and a few surprises thanks to writer Mark Schultz and artist Moritat.
THE SPIRIT #2 hits 5/19.

Just a gentle reminder that tomorrow -- the same day Brian Azzarello and Rags Morales' FIRST WAVE hits -- you can read the first issue along with comic book superstars Geoff Johns and Jim Lee on Twitter. What better way to meet the neo-noir versions of Doc Savage, The Bat-Man and the Spirit, eh?

The fun starts Wednesday at 3pm PST, giving you time to run to your shop and join in on the action. And while we’re talking Twitter, don’t forget to follow DC NATION, which’ll keep you up-to-date on all THE SOURCE’s daily news.
And take a minute to say hi while we're all reading together.
The Spirit, Doc Savage, Batman and Neal Adams? How can you go wrong?
It's almost here -- an Earth very much like our own, but featuring a collection of pulp and noir heroes that include the Batman, the Spirit, Doc Savage, Black Canary and many more.
In the shadows of the War, the roots of the Golden Tree cabal grew deep into the heart of a fallen world and the leaders at the heart of this secret organization see no place in their utopia for heroism. Doc Savage, struggling with the loss of his father, has been blind to their advance – until now. Central City's mysterious Spirit has caught wind of their plans as well. But whose side have the Blackhawks chosen? What is the Red Right Hand? And where is the Batman? Eisner Award winner Brian Azzarello (100 BULLETS, JOKER) and superstar Rags Morales (IDENTITY CRISIS) craft a DC universe like you've never seen before. It's a world with no supermen, only mortal men. Death can come at any moment, and adventure can still be found at every corner of the map.
Dive right in with a look at some black and white interiors from the first issue. And, as an added bonus, we're including the Morales sketch pages some of you saw in the back of select DCU books and the handful we initially spotlighted here. Enjoy:
