Andy Kubert And John Romita Jr Covers For Dark Days: The Forge #1 Revealed – But Was It Too Late?
I'm not going to tell DC Comics retailer relations people how to do their job. Heaven forfend.
I do think, however, that e-mailing comic book stores the Andy Kubert and John Romita Jr variant covers to Dark Days: The Forge #1, kicking off DC's big summer event yesterday at 8pm ET/5pm PT (and 1am this morning in the UK) on the final day that stores can order the comic – only a week after that date was brought forward by two weeks – might have been a little on the late side.
Although neither are final covers… though Aquaman seems to have his beard back.
In DARK DAYS: THE FORGE #1, Darkness comes to the DC Universe with the mystery of the Forge! Aquaman, The Flash and more of DC's pantheon of heroes suspect Batman of hiding a dark secret that could threaten the very existence of the multiverse! It's an epic that will span generations — but how does it connect to the origins of one of DC's most legendary heroes?
DARK DAYS: THE FORGE #1 is a 40-page one-shot with card-stock covers. It is written by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV, with art by Jim Lee, Andy Kubert, John Romita Jr. and others.
DARK DAYS: THE FORGE #1 is on FOC on May 8 with an on-sale date of June 14.
