...in Vorbereitung auf den Kino-Start von "Batman V Superman" (der Fortsetzung des krawalligen "Man Of Steel" -Kinofilms) starten DC COMICS im Herbst diverse Mini-Serien und Prestige- books mit beiden Helden-Ikonen.

Die größte Medien-Aufmerksamkeit dürfte hierbei wohl DCs wieder-'mal Reaktivierung von Frank Miller ("Holy Terror", "300") hervorrufen.

Im kommenden "Previews"-Katalog (ab nächster Woche bei uns erhältlich!) werden schon 'mal einige der ersten Projekte vorgestellt:


DC COMICS PRESENTS "DARK KNIGHT III: THE MASTER RACE"

Superstar artist Jim Lee returns to the Dark Knight with this premiere issue! The impossible has happened and Batman is on the verge of being taken down by an enemy he cannot defeat: a virus for which there is no cure! And the only hope for his salvation is The Joker! Who infected Batman, what does the Clown Prince of Crime know, and how will the Dark Knight get that information? Together, the enemies crisscross Europe, desperate to find answers before time runs out.
Co-conceived by Matteo Casali and Brian Azzarello, this 4-issue miniseries event will feature art by top talents over layouts by the incomparable Giuseppe Camuncoli (HELLBLAZER, Dark Wolverine), with the first issue pencilled and inked by none other than Jim Lee!


 


Der Stählerne erhält in "Superman: American Alien" wieder einmal einen "neuen Blick" auf seine Wurzeln. Die Inhaltsbeschreibung von Heft 1  klingt sehr interessant..., irgendwie nach 'nem Mix aus etwas "Superman Birthright", "Smallville", "For All Seasons" mit 'nem Schuß "Astro City (Local Heroes)"!

Hollywood screenwriter and Eisner Award nominee Max Landis (Chronicle, American Ultra, ADVENTURES OF SUPERMAN) joins forces with top comics artists including Jock, Francis Manapul and Jae Lee to bring you SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN, a 7-issue miniseries chronicling the life of Clark Kent and his development into the archetypal hero he will eventually become. But these are not the stories of the iconic “Superman” as you know him, but of the soft-spoken, charming, often-funny Kansas farm-boy behind the Man of Steel. With the tone of each issue ranging from heartwarming and simple, to frighteningly gritty and violent, to sexy, sun-kissed and funny, SUPERMAN: AMERICAN ALIEN is unlike anything you’ve seen before.
In this first issue, superstar artist Nick Dragotta (East of West, Fantastic Four) illustrates the story of Jonathan and Martha Kent as they struggle to deal with their 12-year-old son’s latest quirk—he’s been floating up into the air, sometimes hundreds of feet!


...und einen Monat zuvor startet eine neue ongoing-Serie mit dem "pre- Flashpoint"- Superman (also jener Version des Stählernen, die von 1986 bis 2011 hauptsächlich durch die SUPER-Serien geisterte, und die im Mittelpunkt der zweiteiligen  "Convergence: Superman" stand (btw: diese war im UNFUG die best-verkaufte aller "Convergence"-Serien !). 

Interessant schon 'mal eine Vorab- Interview-Äußerung von Dan Jurgens, der erzählte, das dieser Supie (den viele Fans nach wie vor vermissen!) mit seiner Frau Lois seit Jahren "inkognito" auf der "NEW 52"-Erde lebt...
