Power Up #1 (of 6)
-Have you missed on the ebullient fun that is Lumberjanes (Eisner winner!) and Giant Days? Don’t miss out again!
-Boom! Studios mainstay, Kate Leth, will be writing the series, bringing to bare her previous experience on Adventure Time Fionna and Cake, Bravest Warriors, and Edward Scissorhands.
-Prophecies in most narratives revolve around epic heroes and legendary heroines. Power Up is not that story.
-Instead, the heroes of prophecy are an apathetic woman in her late twenties, a past-his-prime athlete, a mother of two, and a goldfish. Yes, you read that last one right.
Wolf #1
-Ales Kot is gaining a reputation as the Hunter S. Thompson of comics, writing some of the most psychedelic, trippy series in recent years.
-Now, Kot launches Wolf, an ongoing detective/crime story from Image Comics!
-But unlike your Chinatowns and Maltese Falcons, Wolf will have hints of the supernatural, akin to True Detective or the Dresden Files.
-Fair warning, there may also be a fair share of Thomas Pynchon’s Inherent Vice, for those that are so inclined.
JLA Gods and Monsters Batman #1
-Leading up to the release DC‘s newest animated movie, this series of one-shots will detail the alternate reality versions of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
-Bruce Timm, co-creator of Batman the Animated Series, is overseeing and writing all of these one-shots.
-Each of these one-shots will feature a done-in-one story about the origins of these drastically altered characters.
-In the Batman issue, readers will find out how Kirk Langstrom, not Bruce Wayne, became the vampire Batman of this world!
Cyborg #1
-Vic Stone, a founding member of the New 52 Justice League, finally receives his own ongoing series!
-Cyborg has received upgrades before, but, at the beginning of this series, he’s receives a complete overhaul!
-Writer David Walker introduces a slew of new villains for Cyborg to battle, including the Technosapiens, an alien race that want to devour Vic’s own tech.
-Bringing of this insanity to life is one of DC‘s best house artists, Ivan Reis (Blackest Night, Justice League, Green Lantern).
