OUR
DC COMICS PICKS:
Justice League #51
During
the Darkseid War, Lex Luthor had
God-like powers which could lead to the The
Super-Man title in July. The Superman was originally a bald telepathic
villain which was first introduced in 1933. Geoff Johns wanted to bring legacy
back to the DC universe by connecting the past and the present. This would be a
great way to do it with Lex Luthor.
Action Comics #52
This
issue is the first meeting between the New 52 Superman and the Post-Crisis
Superman. Originally this story was supposed to be in Superman #50 however it got pushed into the Super League storyline running in the Superman books in April and
May. The title will return to its original numbering in June as part of the
Rebirth line.
REBIRTH
DC
Comics will release DC Universe: Rebirth
#1 written by Geoff Johns before relaunching the Rebirth specials in June
along with twice monthly shipping of various titles. Action Comics and Detective
Comics which will also be shipping twice monthly will return to their
original numbering. While at Marvel continues their 2006 sequel to Civil War, DC Comics plans to win
market share with Rebirth
demonstrating their effort to lead the comic industry to a new creative age.
