Superman fights Zod in Man of Steel but a different kind of threat is coming to the pages of Superman!
Here’s a preview from DC Comics Editor Bob Harras:
“Psi War is coming. But the pieces building this puzzle have remained somewhat mysterious. Until now.
The Man of Steel has faced many grave threats in his past – but the H.I.V.E. Queen is unlike any foe he’s crossed paths with thus far. An elusive ruler with an insatiable thirst for power, the H.I.V.E. Queen has found a way to control her drones to become completely subservient to her every command. But what is she after? And how will Superman be able to fight off her army if it continues to increase at such an exponential rate?”

A classic Superman foe is set to make his New 52 debut in Villains Month! Here’s a first look at Brainiac and a tease from DC Comics Editor Bob Harras:
“We already know that Brainiac has been collecting worlds. But why does he do what he does? Surely this psychopath must have motives beyond just trying to save the civilizations being threatened by the 5th dimension – but what are they? What will happen when a new superhero discovers the truth? And how will her startling revelation impact the rest of the DC Universe?
Kick off your weekend by checking out this all-new character design for Brainiac, which shows him both as a doctor experimenting on his son, and as the maniacal villain we all know after he’s mutilated himself into his present look.”

The bad guys win…at least for one month!
After the “Trinity War,” crossover in the Justice League the DC Universe is taken over by villains this September!
Villain’s Month will spotlight 52 of the DC Universe’s biggest rogues in their own one-shots.
“September has always been a big month for us and we look for an opportunity every year in September to do something big that really redefines the line and invites anyone who hasn’t been following comics to step right in,” DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee explained to BUZZFEED.
“We launched the New 52 Continue reading DC Comics Reveals FOREVER EVIL Villains Month!
Grant Morrison continues to excite the Superman mythos with Action Comics. DC Comics revealed the cover to issue #11 by Rags Morales that reflects the solicitation for the story:
“Superman’s new secret identity revealed! Lois Lane continues her investigation into the mystery of Earth’s first Superman! Plus, in the backup story: We know where Superman got his armor costume, but where did he get all those “S” T-shirts?”
This months is the start the Batman family crossover Night of the Owls. I hope DC may be plotting a crossover with the Superman family of books – maybe a way to introduce some Kryptonian foes into the New 52?
DC Comics The New 52 is doubling down with a Second Wave of new titles crashing this May and the debut of a parallel world. The Source revealed the Batman of Earth 2 designed by Jim Lee and a big teaser from Earth 2 editor Pat McCallum.
“Who will Batman kill to save his own daughter?” asks McCallum. “Right out of the gate that should tell you we’re dealing with a different kind of Dark Knight here. More ruthless, dangerous…the costume is familiar and yeah, there is a Wayne under the mask, but we’re looking at a man desperate to save the only family he has left. Earth 2 is about to become a very bad place to be a bad guy.”
