Image Comics continue to lead the way in publishing new science-fiction comics, with a new series starting in September from Hoax Hunters' Michael Moreci with Vic Malhotra. Roche Limit is a crime series set in a colony on on the edge of an energy anomoly attracting the worst of the universe to its door And a[...]

The present… and five years later, courtesy of DC's September event. Swamp Thing is a robot Constantine is Fate And Charles Soule is writing four of them And is that Stephanie Brown as Batgirl? And more besides???? Harley Quinn in the White House, a Bat army, a returning from the grave Green Arrow… A lot can happen[...]

But for September, when each book takes a jump five years later as part of DC Comics' Futures End, at least we have an idea of what might be going on in these titles… everything from the Teen Titans and Green Arrow's death, a more extreme Batman, a married Mera and Aquaman – and a[...]

DC Comics have released the information about DC's 3D cover issues for September, each comic taking a trip five years into the future for a Five Years Later month wide event… But they aren't saying who is writing or drawing them. DC are having to release solicitations in advance in order to set print runs for various[...]

They made a big splash in September 2013 If you could get them The 3D lenticular covers used to launch Villains Month And hideously underprinted as China ran out of enough plastic to make them (apparently) leaving retailers heavily allocated and everyone scrabbling to get a 3D cover for Joker's Daughter. Some people got burned. But now…[...]

DC Comics writes; THANK YOU FROM THE CO-PUBLISHERS Dear Retailers: We’d like to take a moment to thank you for all your support for DC’s Villains Month.

Welcome folks, to Zod, Lord Of The Jungle. As seen in today's Action Comics #23.2 Zod #1. Dead parents, Kryptonian jungle, and a whole childhood growing

Emo Lobo. Twilight Lobo. And whatever the Brazilians called up, there are lots of names for the new Lobo. And with Justice League #23.2 Lobo #1 out today,

4th September could be massive Here's why. The first week of Villain's Month for DC, with people willing to pay many multiples for those 3D covers The first issue of Forever Evil (and Bleeding Cool readers might know why Nightwing is going to tear the internet apart on that one – we're expecting big media coverage)[...]

An advance copy of Joker's Daughter #1 has just sold in eBay for $31. While The Joker #1 itself has just sold for $22.50. They will go on sale in comic

Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire! But in this case, it's full of retailers trying to make up for being allocated on the 3D Villains Month covers for September and trying[...]

Especially considering DC linked the 52 Villain one-shots to popular titles such as Detective Comics or Justice League to increase their popularity – and then seem to have allocated numbers based on titles such as Dial H or Katana. However, given the $3.99 cover price, many stores will make a larger profit in September than they[...]

Four Detective Comics. Four Batman And Robin. Four Dark Knight. Four Batman. Four Action Comics. Four Superman. Three Flash. Two Aquaman. UPDATE: Four Justice League and two Earth 2. That's 35 multiple shipping books from DC in September That we know of. There are 56 Villain books in September from the DCU, it seems, according to the Villain Month Omnibus story[...]

But this September might see DC Comics grab a little of it back. As well as the launch of the Forever Evil series from Geoff Johns and David Finch, we have four issues of Batman, four of Detective Comics, four of Dark Knight and four of Batman And Robin as of yet, but adding on the[...]

We'll update this article as and when we can… But this is the answer as to how DC is going to get 56 issues out from 42 monthly comics, I guess… We start with the four issues of Detective Comics for September's Villain Month And yes, Batman is tied/chained/gagged on almost every cover… for some reason it[...]

After running yesterday's rumour about DC's Villain Month potentially being called Forever Evil, I'm told that yes, there will be a new series with that title from September It may be weekly for September, which may explain the expected 56 title number count as opposed to 52 for that month. And that it will also be[...]

That willingness to take chances, and cross boundaries both in show and out, has transferred over to September's Notebook, the first in a series of tie-in books published by Titan. The first thing you notice about September's Notebook is it's size This is a chunky, hardback tome of a thing with some real weight to it[...]

And for a look at a different view on the world in September, more thoughtful, less franchise and license-heavy, and less inclined to have a zombie gnawing on your entrails… from Dan Clowes to Robert Crumb to Hunt Emerson to Chris Ware… DRAWN & QUARTERLY NEW YORK DRAWINGS: ADRIAN TOMINE HC (W/A/CA) Adrian Tomine A collection of illustrations from[...]

شجاعة Alshujaa'a. That's the Arabic tattoo on the new Green Lantern's arm, appearing in Green Lantern #0. Just about. And yes, according to Google

Justice League International's last issue is in August, Voodoo, Resurrection Man and Captain Atom have been granted issue zero extensions in September So Grifter and Blue Beetle have dodged a bullet Could the Justice League International Annual also in August originally have been an issue zero that got out of hand? No matter. So farewell then,[...]

They're taking their time over this one… The Justice League, Batman, Superman, Green Lantern and more solicitations are out… But the big news in the Superman titles will be that Scott Lobdell is the new writer of the monthly Superman title, starting with issue zero in September. So naturally, DC Comics is saving that news until last[...]

Another book getting cancelled in September is Abnett and Lanning's Resurrection Man It never was one of the better selling New 52 titles, but it did outsell the likes of Grifter and Voodoo. At least it got a second time around and an extra zero issue before it finally bit the dust Appropriate, at least And[...]

Rob Liefeld already told us that Hawk & Dove would return in DC Universe Presents. But not that they would be joined by a number of other characters

Back in April Bleeding Cool first told you that DC Comics would run Zero issues of their New 52 comics in September, telling origin and early stories of the characters We then followed it up with details such as the Zero issues raising issues that would affect the next issues of all the titles, with[...]

Bleeding Cool has been banging on a bit about DC Comics giving their New 52 all zero issues in September, returning to regular numbering in October, to commemorate the one year anniversary of the reboot. DC have not released all their August shipping details To back up our thesis, we could do with a lot of[...]
