dadiceguy at 12:18am on 20/03/2007 under comic previewsI havent done this in a long while, but here are my impressions of stuff coming out in June from DC.
NIGHTWING #133
Written by Marv Wolfman
Art by Jamal Igle & Keith Champagne Cover by Ryan Sook
A new story arc exploring the lost year of Dick Grayson’s life, after he dropped out of college and before the New Teen Titans formed! It’s the year that changed his life, during which he made a fateful decision. Now a friend, a foe, and a love from the past have returned from the darkness to haunt him!
On sale June 6 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
I have been really enjoying Marv's return to Nightwing. And flashing back to his pre-Nightwing days should be fun. Also its nice to see Jamal Igle working regularly.
ALL STAR SUPERMAN #8
Written by Grant Morrison
Art by Frank Quitely & Jamie Grant
Cover by Quitely
The Daily Planet regulars hole up as the terrifying Bizarro plague spreads across Metropolis! Superman’s trapped in the reverse madness of a dying Bizarro World! It’s ALL STAR thrills from every angle, delivered by Grant Morrison, Frank Quitely and Jamie Grant!
On sale June 20 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99
This is the only Superman book I like. Being a Morrison fanboy dosent hurt, but I have really enjoyed the modern Silver Age feel of the book.
JACK KIRBY’S FOURTH WORLD OMNIBUS VOL. 2 HC
Written by Jack Kirby
Art and cover by Kirby and Mike Royer
Continuing the 4-book series collecting the work of
Jack Kirby! DC collects four series — THE NEW GODS, THE FOREVER PEOPLE, MISTER MIRACLE and SUPERMAN’S PAL JIMMY OLSEN — in chronological order as they originally appeared. These comics spanned galaxies, from the streets of Metropolis to the far-flung worlds of New Genesis and Apokolips, as cosmic-powered heroes and villains struggled for supremacy.
In this second volume, collecting NEW GODS #4-6 ,FOREVER PEOPLE #4-6, JIMMY OLSEN #141-145 and MISTER MIRACLE #4-6 , the evil Darkseid’s schemes continue to unfold while the New Gods, Forever People, Mr. Miracle and other heroes battle his many minions!
Advance-solicited; on sale August 22 • 396 pg, FC, $49.99 US
Damn I need more money. Or start running a comic shop again so I get a discount. Too many archives coming out I have no money for. Though I enjoyed Kirby's Kamandi more than New Gods this is astounding stuff.
SHAZAM: THE MONSTER SOCIETY OF EVIL #4
Written by Jeff Smith
Art and cover by Smith
The final installment of the acclaimed miniseries by Jeff Smith throws the Marvel family against the Monster Society of Evil itself! Their only hope of surviving and saving the world as we know it is that they’re too young to realize what they're really up against!
On sale June 6 • Prestige Format • 4 of 4 • 48 pg, FC, $5.99 US
The first two issues of this have been great, Hope we see more DC stuff from Jeff Smith.
