August Previews Spotlight for DC Books

Batman #82

‘City of Bane’ part eight! Batman and his allies wage war on the City of Bane, but an unexpected turn of events will send everyone reeling.

Will there be another death in the family, or can the Dark Knight break Bane’s iron grip over Gotham City?

Tom Kings run is coming to a close soon but I love Bane as a bad guy.

I think he’s one of the better bad guys who really causes Batman grief.

This cover caught my attention cause I love a good Bane cover and story.

 


The Batman’s Grave #1 (of 12)

The World’s Greatest Detective must try to inhabit the mind of a murder victim to solve a case-without filling the empty grave next to those of his parents.

Can Batman imagine the life of a corpse with a half-eaten face without dying himself?

Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch, one of the most legendary creative partnerships of the modern age, reunite in this maxiseries about life, death and the questions most are too afraid to ask.

I really enjoy Warren Ellis work. I’m hoping this maxi-series is a great read. I really dig when they do a great detective story involving Batman because that’s what he does best, detective work to solve mysteries the regular police are having a hard time solving.

 


Detective Comics #1013 (Kirkham Variant)

Mr. Freeze is so close to reviving Nora but Batman can’t let it happen.

Mr. Freeze has never been more vicious or more deadly.

There’s nothing more dangerous than a desperate man with a cold gun and Gotham City is going to learn that firsthand!

I don’t know why but I really like this cover the more I look at it.

It’s definitely got that creep factor built into it. Definitely related to the DCeased with all the villains as zombies from the blood dripping from Batman’s mouth.

I don’t expect this to heat up though but definitely a cooler concept for a cover.

 


Harley Quinn #67 (Variant) Yotv

She’s bigger. She’s badder. She’s meaner.

She’s Harley-er Quinn! And after accepting Lex Luthor’s offer, she’s waging a one-woman war on the Year of the Villain itself!

This is the event issue to end all event issues-no, really!

Okay, this cover has nothing to do with the likely story but it’s just a great cover just in time for Thanksgiving in November.

There are a lot of Frank Cho fans out there and his Harley covers have been pretty fun with the humor he brings forth in them.

 


Joker Harley Criminal Sanity #1 (of 9)

In Gotham City, where heinous acts of violence are a daily occurrence, the GCPD relies on Harley Quinn, a young forensic psychiatrist and profiler, to consult on their toughest cases. But Harley is haunted by one unsolved case-the night she discovered her roommate’s body marked with the signature of a notorious serial killer known as The Joker.

Five years later, the case remains unsolved and a new series of horrific murders occur throughout the city. As the murders escalate, Harley’s obsession with finding the depraved psychopath responsible leads her down a dangerous path. When the past and the present finally collide, Harley has to decide how far she is willing to go-and how many lines she is willing to cross-to solve these cases once and for all.

Written by #1 New York Times and international bestselling author Kami Garcia (co-author of Beautiful Creatures, author of Unbreakable and X-Files: Agents of Chaos) with art by Mico Suayan (Bloodshot: Reborn) and Mike Mayhew (The Star Wars),……

Great Joker stories and books catch my attention every time.


Joker Killer Smile #1 (of 3) and the Joker Killer Smile #1 (Kaare Andrews Variant)

Everyone knows The Joker doesn’t have the most promising history with psychotherapists. In fact, no one’s even been able to diagnose him. But that doesn’t matter to the confident, world-beating Dr. Ben Arnell; he’s going to be the one to unravel this unknowable mind.

There’s no way The Joker could ever get through the therapeutic walls Ben has built around himself. Right? There’s no way The Joker’s been entering his house at nightâ¦right? There’s no way The Joker has stood over his son’s bed, and put that book in his hands, the one with the, the, theâ¦

The Eisner-nominated creative team of Jeff Lemire and Andrea Sorrentino (GREEN ARROW, Gideon Falls) reunite for a psychological horror story where nothing is as it seems, your eyes can’t be trusted and Mr. Smiles is waiting behind the basement door. Wait, who’s Mr. Smiles?

Like I said before, love a great Joker book. This one has Jeff Lemire writing it with artwork by Sorrentino.


Last God #1 and the Last God #1 (Card Stock Variant)

THE LAST GOD tells the story of two fellowships of heroes struggling with the same threat 30 years apart. One group will doom their world, the other must save it.

Thirty years ago, a band of heroes traveled beyond the borders of creation and killed the last living god, saving the realm of Cain Anuun from an apocalyptic army of the undead.

The legendary companions became the rulers of their world and ushered in a new era of peace and prosperity. But it did not last. Now the foul legions of the Last God march once more, laying waste to all of Cain Anuun and revealing that the aging fellowship may not be the great heroes they claim to be. With the world burning down around them, a new group of unlikely champions must band together and accomplish what no other has done: kill the Last God, once and for all. THE LAST GOD: BOOK ONE OF THE FELLSPYRE CHRONICLES is a high-octane, no-holds-barred dark fantasy epic from writer Phillip Kennedy Johnson (Last Sons of America, Warlords of Appalachia, AQUAMAN)……

This is the book I’m looking forward to the most out of DC’s upcoming books. I love Federici’s work.

  1. Is that ‘Red Cloud’ on the cover to Action Comics, too? Red Cloud is aka Robinson Goode. 1st appearance is DC Nation #0. There are several high ratio covers for this book. And her 1st appearance as Red Cloud is Action 1005. There is an A and a B for that book.
