ACTION COMICS #1
Written by GRANT MORRISON
Art by RAGS MORALES and RICK BRYANT
Cover by RAGS MORALES
Variant cover by JIM LEE and SCOTT WILLIAMS
On sale SEPTEMBER 7 ? 40 pg, FC, $3.99 US ? RATED T
The one and only Grant Morrison (ALL-STAR SUPERMAN) returns to Superman, joined
by sensational artist Rags Morales (IDENTITY CRISIS), to bring you tales of The
Man of Steel unlike any you've ever read! This extra-sized debut issue is the
cornerstone of the entire DC Universe!
IMAGE COLLECTIONS SAYS..... [about ACTION COMICS #1 ].....
"It ALL begins here....", or so they say, as DC has stated ACTION COMICS will be
showcasing "THE ONLY HERO in the universe" at first, meaning SUPERMAN's
PRE-HEROIC-AGE story, meaning before all those OTHER good-doers came along
in his shadow...
Artist Rags Morales can certainly handle the DC UNIVERSE as seen in the
modern-day classic IDENTITY CRISIS, and easily adds to Clark Kent emotion,
texture, and humanity to one who isn't. As the world's most famous planetary
immigrant, the star of the book has much potential in showcasing the great, the
SUPER, and sometimes, the overlooked about our own 'big blue ball' Earth....
An interesting take using a creator [writer] who has been drooling over this
project for at least a decade, and for those lucky enough to have read GRANT
MORRISON's magnificent 'ALL STAR SUPERMAN' in the past few years,
we KNOW this could be a BIBLICAL genesis for DC's new status quo!!!
OUR TAKE....@@@@@.....5 / 5.....A CAN'T MISS EXCEPTIONAL PICK UP!

As Batman and Robin try to adjust to their new partnership, a figure emerges
from Bruce Wayne's past: His name is NoBody, and he's not happy that Batman
Incorporated is shining a light on his own shadowy war against evil...
IMAGE COLLECTIONS SAYS.... [about BATMAN&ROBIN #1 ].....
BATMAN & ROBIN has LOTS going for it, including a remarkable writer who's
experienced pinpointing the sticky moody DAMIAN, the only known offspring of
BRUCE WAYNE!
[....Talia al Ghul, 'co-creator' of Damian, is also [Bat-villian] Ras al Ghul' daughter...
...who sent 'li'll D' away to be raised by a league of assassins, before dumping the
troublemaker in Bruce Wayne's lap...We're guessing motherhood wasn't the kind-
est to her :o ]
BATMAN & ROBIN spotlights BRUCE & DAMIAN, a tag-team not seen yet much....
....then again, there IS a reason they don't make 'Bad Cop / Bad Cop' movies, they
never seem to end up well for any of the characters involved....
In one of the least looked forward to change-ups, what WAS a playful yet
antagonizing dynamic of DICK [putting up with his mentor's son out of respect]
GRAYSON and DAMIAN [putting up with his fathers apprentice, seldom with
respect] WAYNE, seems no longer quite as witty or palatable.
DC has the right to make changes, even if it IS controversial...speaking of which, there's plenty of objectionable insights to discuss about the next comic....

Often the target of uninformed silliness, DC's water based terra is about to translate into a firm school of seriousness. Dispite your inclanations of thought, you are reading it here....AQUAMAN WILL BE a deserved bestseller, and quite possibly the most underestimated title of the 'New 52'!!!
Don't take our word for it, pick one up and experience it yourself, AQUAMAN WILL BE GREAT!!!
Long time planned, researched, pondered, and plotted, Geoff Johns has put much energy, sweat, and hope into this relaunch of the "King of the 7 Seas" and with fan favorite 'Blackest Night' / 'Green Lantern artist Ivan Reis aboard, this book will generate serious 'knottage' causing a tidal wave of momentum going forward...
New DC 'species/threat' THE TRENCH will have many a reader buzzing in the days to come as their part in DC's 'New 52' becomes......but that would be telling! :o]

IMAGE COLLECTIONS SAYS..... [about THE FLASH #1 ].....
THE FLASH is no stranger to rebooted series and new #1s, his followers having
suffered through many numerological fits over the years, yet DC almost always
provides great excuses for hanging in, blessing the character with great writers
who have taken the time to create energetic thought- provoking tales, often using
the properties of speed itself to craft with....
Both MARK [Kingdom Come] WAID & GEOFF [Green Lantern] JOHNS, now
superstars in the industry, broke out while writing FLASH, each leaving behind
extensive critically acclaimed runs, utilizing supporting characters creativly and
sharpening THE FLASH's rogues gallery, a villians line-up second only to The
BATMANs at DC COMICS...
This time out FLASH is by CANADIAN ARTIST [...and also writer of this title ]
FRANCIS MANAPUL, who has quite the fan-base here in the GTA [Greater Toronto
Area], as well as added exposure through his work on TV's 'Beast Legends'....
Speaking of 'Legends', Francis, a former longtime 'Witchblade' artist, has
worked with many of them in the industry so far for such a young creator!
Having collaborated with Marvel / Valiant icon Jim Shooter on 'Legion of Superheroes',
'DEATH OF SUPERMAN' Doomsday originator Dan Jurgens on 'Tomb Raider',
DC's current go-to person for creative direction [see Green Lantern] Geoff Johns
on 'Adventure Comics', and 'THE WALKING DEAD' writer/creator & Image Comics
Partner Robert Kirkman on 'Magdalena / Vampirella', Francis Manapul has been
quickly rising the ladder of talent status, and may soon have to get used to the
label of 'Superstar' accompanying his name...
THE FLASH #1 marks Francis' big-time writing debut along with Brian Buccellato,
making DC's scarlet speedster a heavy contender for both visual & story satisfaction!

Star of his own explosive HIT COMIC SERIES of the 1980's, many have fond
memories of the hot-headed high schooler Ronnie Raymond as FIRESTORM,

FIRESTORM has made lately. Now that the "FURY OF..." is back, along with fan-
fave writer GAIL SIMONE, expect those film shorts to graduate to blockbuster

It's the start of a new series spotlighting some of the DC Universes's most
exciting super heroes! First up is Deadman, straight from the pages of BRIGHTEST
DAY, in a five-issue epic where the body-hopping hero meets his match in a new
foe who wants to make sure the souls that Deadman helps out go straight to Hell!
While they're integrating the WildStorm and DC Universes, looking at the books
below makes it fairly clear that "The Edge" is where the majority of the
WildStorm mythology is being transferred to, being amalgamated with DC's war and
western titles, as well as some of the, well, "edgier" properties like
Deathstroke and the Suicide Squad. I predict every book in this section will be
rated for older readers than the rest of the line, other than "The Dark" below.

critical success Milestone Comics line of ETHNICAL DIVERSE characters in the
early 1990s...
DC's Milestone, whose characters include the African-American Static, Icon, and
Hardware; the Asian-American Xombi, and the multi-ethnic superhero group the
Blood Syndicate, which include black, Asian and Latino men and women, debuted
its titles in 1993 spearheaded by Milestone editor-in-chief, the late Dwayne
McDuffie [1962-2011], who created or co-created many of the characters,
including Static....
Static Shock is sure to spark interest in fans of all ages & shapes as longtime
BATMAN and DAREDEVIL artist Scott McDaniel is given the freedom to strut his

Hank Hall is not happy. He's not happy to have Dawn Granger as a new partner in

Deadman. He's not happy to learn that someone is trying to plunge the United
States into a new civil war! Now it's up to Hawk and Dove to root out the forces
behind this conflict and stop them before they turn the U.S. into a wasteland!
And who is the monster lurking in the shadows, watching Hawk and Dove from afar?
Find out in this new series from Sterling Gates (FLASHPOINT: KID FLASH LOST) and
artist Rob Liefeld (X-Force, Youngblood)!
IMAGE COLLECTIONS SAYS [about HAWK & DOVE #1 ]......
Originally created by Steve [Spider-man co-creator] Ditko and Steve Skeates in the late
1960s, and having survived many incarnations over the years, Hank Hall [Hawk] is
the jealous type who just can't quite get the knack of heroics down pat...
This Hawk & Dove have a pretty reasonable chance of tripling their previous series'
longevity as this one has some positive buzz attached to it!
Though it may not be the popular veiwpoint, we think Rob Liefeld has paid his dues
in the comic industry doghouse and deserves some rightly acclaim again for his
accomplishments in playing his part in shaping the marketplace to what it is today,
or more accurately, what it ISN'T...
One of modern times composite superstar artists, Rob's 1990s frolics with fans &
fame are textbook,...prime examples of going off a beaten path to provide a method
for others to beat a path to you.
Mr Liefeld still has it. If he can find it consistantly, and if DC COMICS allows H&D to
find its place, fans could embrace it....
