A new assassin will be stalking The New 52! DC Comics Bob Harras shared a first look at Lady Vic. This killer for hire will tangle with Luke Fox, the new Batwing.

In the pre-New 52 “Lady Vic” short for Lady Victim because of her many targets was a frequent enemy of Nightwing. Lady Elaine Marsh Morton was a real British aristocrat but worked for DC villains like Blockbuster.

Fan favorite artist David Finch appeared at Fan Expo Vancouver this past weekend. There were huge lines for Finch as fans eagerly waited for a chance to have the acclaimed creator sign their books, get sketches and talk with him about his stellar career. Finch is now a DC Comics exclusive artist (Batman: The Dark Knight, Justice League of America) after amazing runs at Top Cow (Cyberforce) and Marvel Comics (New Avengers, Ultimate X-Men, Ultimatum, Moon Knight.)

Finch joined legendary Iron Man artist and X-O Manowar co-creator Bob Layton and Ultimate Comics X-Men, Incredible Hulk cover artist Kaare Andrews for an engaging sketch duel panel. The three creators gave fans a choice: they spend the entire session working on one sketch each or a rapid fire 5 minutes per sketch. The sketch duel ends with lucky fans leaving with the sketches so the crowd unanimously voted for the chance at 15 fans receiving 15 sketches over three fans getting three sketches.

The battle began with requests for Catwoman, Hulk, Spider-Man, Wolverine and finally Captain America while the creators shared career insights and answered fan questions in a revealing and hilarious session.

After enjoying the panel I got the opportunity to talk one on one with Finch back at his table. I did have to wait my turn. As you can see above this young fan was extremely chatty and excited as she watched Finch create a sketch just for her.

After a great run on Batman: The Dark Knight which he co-wrote with Paul Jenkins, Finch is now drawing a new Justice League of America written by Geoff Johns. The eclectic cast includes Catwoman, Katana, Stargirl, Green Arrow, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, Vibe and the new Green Lantern Simon Baz. I asked Finch which members of the team were his favorites so far. His answer included a surprise and a tease for a dramatic event planned for the youngest hero on the roster:

It’s almost the second anniversary of DC Comics The New 52 relaunch which was controversial but successful. I asked Finch what it was Continue reading David Finch Exclusive: His Justice League of America Favorites

Wonder Woman fans may be a bit confused by the over of Wonder Woman #19! Diana is supposed to be in love with Superman so why is the Amazon kissing Orion on the New Gods after fighting him on the cover of this week’s issue?

DC Comics shared this stunning cover by Goran Sudsuka and this teaser for Brian Azzarello’s latest chapter. “Poseidon shares a piece of information with the First Born that puts Continue reading Wonder Woman In Love or War with Orion?

BATMAN Guns for Jim Gordon?

Why would Bruce Wayne break his vow and use a handgun? Why is Bruce taking aim at Jim Gordon?

Batman #19 by Scott Snyder and Jim Capullo is out this week but what does this cover mean?

Is the friendship between Bruce and Jim and/or Batman and Gordon over in the aftermath of Death of the Family? and Damian Wayne’s murder in Batman Incorporated?

The events in this issue could be pivotal to Snyder’s next major arc: Batman Year Zero.

Batman and Robin #18 was a masterpiece – an epic, emotional story in the aftermath of Damian’s death. How will Peter Tomasi and Patrick Gleason top that powerful issue? This series will continue as a team-up book with rotating guest stars: Batgirl and Red Robin are coming up. This week’s Batman and Robin #19 could be an important bridge to those team-ups. Who will Bruce meet in this issue that will change him forever?
