Tomorrow’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 Releases

Earlier today, we linked to all of the exclusive previews of the last batch of sixth issues from DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, on sale tomorrow. Below, take a look at all the previews that ran (sorted alphabetically and separated by cover), compiled here in one easy location for your convenience.

Previews of Wednesday’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 Releases

Here’s a round up of the exclusive previews from this week’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 releases, on sale tomorrow. USA TODAY has your first look at THE FLASH #6 with an interview with series writer and artist Francis Manapul and co-writer and colorist Brian Buccellato. "The Rogues are about the score — they're about getting in, getting paid and getting out. They're not the Joker, they're not Lex Luthor. They have their own way of doing things," Buccellato says. Adds Manapul: "We think the team we're forming together is going to be just as dysfunctional as the first one. That's what made them work so well, this rag-tag group that by all means should not even be together. They're like the Bad News Bears of villains, and somehow they made it work." ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY debuted a sequence from BATMAN: THE DARK KNIGHT #6, YAHOO! Voices premiered ALL-STAR WESTERN #6, BUZZFEED revealed pages from AQUAMAN #6, GAWKER’s IO9 ran an exclusive preview of GREEN LANTERN: NEW GUARDIANS #6 and IGN previewed SUPERMAN #6. MTV GEEK has your first look at TEEN TITANS #6, UGO previewed VOODOO #6 while BLOODY DISGUSTING previewed JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK #6, and CRAVE revealed a look at THE SAVAGE HAWKMAN #6. Meanwhile, COMIC BOOK RESOURCES has a sneak peek at I,VAMPIRE #6, NEWSARAMA has the first look at THE FURY OF FIRESTORM: THE NUCLEAR MEN #6, and IFANBOY previewed BLACKHAWKS #6.
