DC POWER RISE OF THE POWER COMPANY #1 OS CVR A RANDOLPH
DC POWER RETURNS FOR 2025! Written by Brandon Thomas, Vita Ayala, John Jennings and Zipporah Smith Art by Ray-Anthony Height, Caanan White, Kelsey Ramsay and Charles Stewart III The Justice League's watchtower looming in the skies is intended to inspire hope and faith in superheroes, but not everyone believes metahumans act in humanity's best interests. The fringe beliefs that "Waller was Right" have grown louder as paramilitary groups take to the streets to take Earth back for the human race. Enter Josiah Power, a meta-attorney who's seen enough of rising hate and sets out to assemble a team not only to protect black and brown communities from these new threats but also to rebuild human faith in heroes. DC Power returns for a third year in a new format, continuing the storylines from Absolute Power and All In and setting the stage for the return of the Power Company!
DC'S LEX AND THE CITY
AS SUPERMAN FLEW AWAY YET AGAIN, I HAD TO WONDER...WAS I TRYING TO DESTROY HIM, OR WAS HE DESTROYING ME?
It's Valentine's Day, which means that love and heartbreak are sweeping every city in the DCU! This anthology collects eight stories of heroes and villains looking for love in the big city (which practically feels like its own character!). Lex Luthor laments over the one that got away--the big, ever-elusive Metropolitan man, Superman! Raven and Beast Boy embark on a romantic scavenger hunt across San Francisco (which just might be a trap)! And Damian Wayne runs a dating-advice gauntlet through Gotham City, organized by none other than the dating master himself, Tim Drake!
Gather your gal pals, pour yourself a cosmo, and hit your nearest comic shop--DC'S LEX & THE CITY is coming this January!
The year is 2188 and Jack the Ripper has returned to London.
For the last century, a shattered post-Brexit England has operated as a massive Victorian theme park in exchange for American military and financial protection. But when an American mogul's grandson is killed in the heart of London, the delicate status quo is threatened.
Is the killer a brilliant maniac?
Americans taking advantage of their superior technology?
Or the English Underground Resistance, wishing to throw off the yoke of American oppression and re-join the modern world?
American Special Agent Jesse Holden and local British Police Detective Edwin Fogg must overcome their clashing ideologies in order to find the truth in the foggy streets of 22nd-century London.
In the nearby galaxy of Limbo, the deadly mob boss Mon*Star has escaped from his confinement on Penal Planet 10 - and he's looking to take revenge on everyone who put him there!
At the top of that list is Commander Stargazer, the grizzled space cop who personally took Mon*Star down the last time he went on a rampage. To recapture Mon*Star and his gang of super-criminal associates, Stargazer must put his retirement on hold and assemble a new team of his famed bionically enhanced law enforcers - the SilverHawks!
Recruited from every corner of known space by the Federal Interplanetary Force, the SilverHawks were engineered to be the first line of defense against Limbo's ruthless agents of chaos. But during Mon*Star's long incarceration, the program went dormant, and its state-of-the-art tech has drifted towards obsolescence. Now, as they take on the galaxy's deadliest lawbreakers, Stargazer's new team of untested cyborgs - including Quicksilver, Bluegrass, Hotwing, Steelwill, Steelheart, and The Copper Kidd - will face the ultimate trial by fire!
Rising star writer ED BRISSON (ThunderCats: Apex, The Uncanny X-Men) and acclaimed artist GEORGE KAMBADAIS (Gargoyles, Hercules) open up an all-new entry in the FIF's legendary case files with SilverHawks #1!
