News: A War of the Justice Leagues to Begin in July 2013

This summer, get ready for a superhero war never before told in the DC Universe Canon. And it's not just any supehero war. It's a war between Justice Leagues (in the Post-Flahspoint Earth-0's/DC New 52 Universe's history anyway); The original Justice Leaugue Vs. Justice League of America Vs. Justice League Dark, with each JL group supported by a different member of the so-called Trinity of Sin (we're talking The Phantom Stranger, Pandora, and The Question). And it will told be told throughout the six-issue storyarc "Trinity War", to begin in July with Justice League (Vol 2) No. 22 and finish in August.

Justice League writer Geoff Johns has this to say on why this storyarc is worth teh read:

"It's going to be really interesting when these characters do come together, because some of them haven't met, some of them have, and what happens and unfolds in this is going to force them to choose sides".

I'll end this post with a shot of the promo art for this upcoming epic storyarc by DC Comics, courtesy of USA Today.

News: Enter the DCnU's Carrie Kelly

Today, I just happened to find out from IGN that DC Universe character Carrie Kelly (whose first introduced incarnation is from the universe of Batman: The Dark Knight Returns) will finally have an incarnation to exist Prime Earth, the core universe of the DC New 52 Multiverse. She's set to appear in Batman and Red Robin No. 19 (to continue the run of Batman and Robin Vol. 2 after its 18th issue), which will be released on 4/10/2013, but DC Comics' website indicates that the 21st issue will have the series name reading "Batman and Batgirl" while Newsma indicates the 20th to carry the series name "Batman and ed Hood" (the series name changing is probably for a temporay time until writers see which works best since Damian Al Ghul's death in Batman, Incorporated Vol. 2 No. 8). This will be the first time a Batman character whose first-shown version from a non-main DC Universe gets a counterpart from the mainverse of a DC multiverse (remember Terry McGinness/Batman Beyond anyone?). Check out the cover from the coming issue, alos found at IGN.
