We're into Leviathan, the new storyline from Action Comics #1008 that will spill out into its own series. And the issue opens with one of those workplace desktop scenes that can be dissected for information. With the stated aim of no more heroes, no more villains for Leviathan? Something that might spill out of public reaction to Heroes In Crisis and ahead of the Supermen Theory from Doomsday Clock.

Talking of which, a certain Sam Lane crossed off a list, which may come as a shock to Lois Lane in the future-set Doomsday Clock where he pops up – is there more connective tissue to come? As so many operations, both for order and chaos, being scrubbed off the list…

While Flash #65 has an epilogue set in the near future as well. And someone Batman knows well as being responsible for… something that will lead into DC's Year Of The Villain.

The Batman Who Laughs? Tim Drake of Tomorrow? Red Hood? Who is Leviathan? Who is behind the Year Of The Villain? And who is turning heroes? It begins here….
