The heroes are going to need a guardian angel when Trinity War explodes and some heroes must go to hell…literally!
The creation of Grant Morrison from his JLA run makes his New 52 debut! Here’s what DC is saying:
“In TRINITY OF SIN: THE PHANTOM STRANGER #9 readers saw The Stranger traveling to Hell on a quest to save the souls of his wife and kids. In next month’s issue #10, his search for his family will take him to Heaven.
DC Comics will mark the one year anniversary of launching The New 52 by going back to zero. This September all the DC titles will #0 and be stand-alone stories.
“Some issues will tell the origins of a character or a team, or in some case where an origin has already been told, they will fill in the blanks in terms of questions readers may have about the New 52 DC Universe,” said Bob Harras, DC Entertainment Editor-in-Chief. “Each of these issues promises to reveal something surprising.”
DC will launch 4 new books during the anniversary month:
(From the presser:)

TEAM SEVEN – Writer: Justin Jordan. Artist: Jesus Merino.
Set in the early days of DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, threads of the entire DC Universe collide. As Superman emerges, so does the world’s counter measures against him and his kind.
