52 positions in a year long run

Tuesday, May 9, 2006 - Soon Van

52 Week 1

52 Week 1; Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid, Keith Giffen, Joe Bennett, Ruy Jose, Jack Jadson et al.

Strap on your sandals and buckle up those belts, 52 is the event that explains the events between DC's Infinite Crisis event and the events of One Year Later.

After the INFINITE CRISIS and before One Year Later, the DCU spent a year without Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman. A year in which those heroes were needed more than ever as the fate of the world hung in the balance. Who stood up in their absence? And who sat out?

The story of DC's most eventful year ever can now be told as four of the hottest writers in comics -- Grant Morrison, Geoff Johns, Greg Rucka, Mark Waid -- deliver an unprecedented weekly tale of death, danger, romance, intergalactic terror and the never-ending, universal meaning of heroism. Joined by storyteller Keith Giffen and cover artist J.G. Jones, 52 features art for the first month by Joe Bennett, Ruy Jose, and Jack Jadson.

Also, starting in Week #2: "The History of the DC Universe," a 10-part backup feature by Dan Jurgens and Art Thibert that takes you on a tour through the legendary past of the DCU.

52: A year without Superman; a year without Batman; a year without Wonder Woman...but not a year without heroes.


Were that not enough for you, Spider-Girl and her MC2 world face the possible universe ending events in Last Planet Standing from Marvel Comics. Who knows if this really is the end for Mayday Parker.

Slave Labor pump out the The Cemeterians. A group that will take any job, any where doing any thing. Including trudging through the sewers to do battle with mermaids.

Warren Ellis brings Wolfskin with help from Avatar Press. Fusing heroic fantasy, Viking sagas and samurai fiction all in the same comic book blender. Chunks of meat optional for the salad eaters.

They won't fade away as the one shots come again from IDW Publishing. Right here of the Whedonverse, Angel Spotlight: Illyria. Blue hair goes back and tries to make herself feel guilty about virtually blasting Fred out of existence.

Not working on zombies for once, Boom! Studios release Cthulhu Tales. An anthology of stories inspired by the works of H.P. Lovecraft.
