Lex Luthor rises up against the forces of evil? Stranger things will happen as DC Comics The New 52 undergoes huge changes in the aftermath of The Trinity War.
DC Comics revealed that The Crime Syndicate of America (evil counterparts of the Justice League from an alternate Earth) are behind the Secret Society’s plots and counter plots against the Justice Leagues. As we know the heroes are defeated and the bad guys win. September is Villains Month (each DC title will be taken over by a villain) and Forever Evil #1 by Geoff Johns and David Finch launches. Continue reading Lex Luthor Is Earth’s Greatest Hero?
In The Wolverine we saw a weakened Logan (Hugh Jackman) struggle to survive Yakuza attacks with his healing factor damaged because of the Viper. In the comic books Wolverine is now Killable and the enemies are closing in while Logan is vulnerable.
Black Panther and Storm guest star in this week’s Wolverine #8 as Logan hunts for a cure in Wakanda. There will be a fight between Logan and T’Challa. If you want to know what’s fueling this feud check out Wolverine and the X-Men #24.
New mission and new look for a classic heroine in spectacular summer for fans of the women of Marvel!
X-Men starring an all-female squad by Brian Wood and Olivier Coipel launched to critical and fan acclaim. Captain Marvel starred in a stunning crossover with Avengers Assemble by Kelly Sue DeConnick. The all-female heroes of Fearless Defenders by Cullen Bunn may not have inspired as much hype as X-Men but it’s definitely a book you should try out.
Valkyrie assembled Earth’s Mightiest Women into Asgard’s new Shieldmaidens. Cullen Bunn writes action and humor packed storylines as Val, Misty Knight and Dani Moonstar raced across the globe in search of ancient relics while fighting Viking zombies and Doom Maidens and a wicked new villainess.

DC’s biggest heroes are at war with each other but The Trinity War is just the beginning of the chaos coming to The New 52!
Alliances crumble. Heroes lose. Bad guys win. Turns out there’s a “secret” behind the Secret Society!
Villains Month and Forever Evil kick off in September. Just when you thought you knew all the players Geoff Johns reveals (via IGN) the real power behind the massive crossover event: Continue reading FOREVER EVIL Shocking Reveal!
Here’s a sneak preview of Archer & Armstrong #12 by Fred Van Lente and Pere Perez!
“The battle for control of the time-lost land of the Faraway starts now, as General Alphonse Redacted charges into battle with his 500 Shades of Greys!
If General Redacted wins the Faraway, he’ll use its centuries-old secrets to stamp out the heathen collectivist Bolsheviks of modern day America. Now, it’s down to Archer, Armstrong, and Mary-Maria, Archer’s assassin stepsister/love interest (ew), to run the greatest infiltration/liberation/inebriation mission mankind has ever known. Which would be a cakewalk if its wasn’t for all the trigger-happy UFOs, hostile natives and, of course, the dinosaurs… Yep, they could definitely do without all those dinosaurs.” Continue reading ARCHER & ARMSTRONG Preview
For this week’s Friday Flashback I’m inspired by Infinity #1 out next week.
The Avengers will fight the mysterious Builders and Thanos in a two-front war. The cosmic clash will rumble across the Marvel Universe and I couldn’t help but think of a cosmic force that once wiped out Earth’s Mightiest Heroes in their own headquarters!
