DC Comics has begun a massive rollout of titles for its September reboot of the entire DC Universe line, dropping ten of the creative teams and first issue covers (of the 52 planned new series announced earlier this week) on their "The Source" blog.
The line starts with three Justice League mainstays standing in their own titles as the already announced "Aquaman" by Geoff Johns and Ivan Reis will be joined by "Wonder Woman" courtesy of the "Dr. 13" team of Brian Azzarello and artist Cliff Chiang and "The Flash" both written and drawn by Francis Manapul and collaborator Brian Buccellato.
New York Times bestselling writer Brian Azzarello, author of The Joker and 100 Bullets, teams up with the immensely talented artist Cliff Chiang (Neil Young’s Greendale) for WONDER WOMAN #1, an exciting new series starring the DC Universe’s greatest superheroine. The cover to issue #1 is by Cliff Chiang.
Geoff Johns, one of comics’ greatest storytellers, reunites with GREEN LANTERN and BRIGHTEST DAY collaborator Ivan Reis to bring you a thrilling new take on the fan-favourite hero of the sea in AQUAMAN #1. The cover to issue #1 is by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado.
Rising superstar Francis Manapul, fresh off his acclaimed run on THE FLASH with Geoff Johns, makes his comics writing debut in THE FLASH #1, sharing both scripting and art duties with Brian Buccellato. The Flash knows he can’t be everywhere at once, but what happens when he faces an all-new villain who can? The cover to issue #1 is by Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato.
Welcome to a major new vision of the Nuclear Man as writers Ethan Van Sciver and Gail Simone team up with artist Yildiray Cinar to deliver THE FURY OF FIRESTORM #1. Jason Rusch and Ronnie Raymond are two high school students, worlds apart – and now they’re drawn into a conspiracy of super science that bonds them forever in a way they can’t explain or control. The cover to issue #1 is by Ethan Van Sciver.
In tweets, Gail has said;
All I’m going to say is, honest to god, this is one of the most amazing books I’ve ever worked on in any capacity. You guys are going to hear a lot of hype in the coming days, I know, and I’m sorry to add to that, but…this book is INSANE. The art for Fury of Firestorm is by Yildiray Cinar, @ycinar here on Twitter. And he is demolishing it. He is KILLING on it. I can’t say any more. But as Ethan was one of the great minds behind some of the biggest monster hits in comics…YOU WANT THIS BOOK. I am sorry for blurting this stuff out, but we haven’t been able to say a word, as page after page of beautiful art came in. That’s all I can say. Forget anything you ever thought about Firestorm being a b-list character. You will not believe this thing.
Batman writer Tony Daniel will team up with artist Philip Tan (GREEN LANTERN: AGENT ORANGE, THE OUTSIDERS) for THE SAVAGE HAWKMAN #1. Carter Hall’s skill at deciphering lost languages has led him to a job with an archeologist who specializes in alien ruins – but will the doctor’s latest discovery spread an alien plague through New York City? No matter the personal cost, Carter Hall must don his cowl and wings and become the new, savage Hawkman to survive. The cover to issue #1 is by Philip Tan.
Oliver Queen is an orphan who grew up to fight crime as the Green Arrow, a billionaire playboy who uses his fortune to become a superhero – able to fight the most powerful super-villains in the universe with nothing but a bow and arrow. JT Krul will write GREEN ARROW #1 with art by superstar artist Dan Jurgens. The cover to issue #1 is by Brett Booth.
A team of internationally-drafted superheroes fight each other and their bureaucratic supervisors as much as they do global crime in JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #1 from writer Dan Jurgens and artist Aaron Lopresti. The cover to issue #1 is by Aaron Lopresti.
The world’s third-smartest man – and one of its most eligible bachelors – uses his brains and fists against science gone mad in MISTER TERRIFIC #1, the new series from writer Eric Wallace and artist Roger Robinson. The cover to issue #1 is by J.G. Jones.
Captain Atom has all the power in the world, but no hope of saving himself. Charged by nuclear energy, possessing vast molecular powers, he has the potential to be a god among men – a hero without limits. But the question is this: Will he lose himself in the process? JT Krul and artist Freddie Williams II take the character in a bold new direction in CAPTAIN ATOM #1. The cover to issue #1 is by Stanley “Artgem” Lau.
The anthology series gets a new look in DC Universe Presents, a new series that will focus on multi-issue story arcs each featuring a different superhero from the DC Universe’s rich cast of characters, told by some of comics’ most exciting writers and artitsts. DC UNIVERSE PRESENTS #1 kicks off the first arc of the series: a Deadman story by Paul Jenkins and Bernard Chang. The cover to issue #1 is by Ryan Sook.
Teen Titans #1
We know that Brett Booth is the artist on DC’s Teen Titans #1, relaunching in September. And as we’d said – and Kiel Phegley, News Editor of CBR appears to have got wrong – Fabian Nicieza is not the writer.
Two covers to unseen, upcoming Batbooks, a full cover tweeted by Jock and a partial cover facebooked by Greg Capullo.
Would it be too much to suggest that one is for Detective Comics #1 and the other is for Batman #1?
Batgirl #1:
Well, it looks like there will be a new Batgirl #1 amongst the 52 relaunched books in September.
What will be different this time is that the book will star Barbara Gordon as Batgirl.
Currently taking the role of Oracle, Barbara Gordon lost the use of her legs in Killing Joke, but became the Birds Of Prey’s eye in the sky, and was handled defly in that title. There had been some possibility that control over her lower body may be slowly returning…
