DC Comics unveiled the variant cover to the upcoming Flash: Rebirth #3, and it looks really awesome. I’m not big on variant covers (I too was burned during the 1990s and the Gen13 debacle), but this is one I might actually ask my comic book guy to track down for me.
The Source posted this Kamandi page from the upcoming Wednesday Comics series. I really like how Ryan Sook’s art and style, along with Dave Gibbons writing gives this page the look and feel of the Prince Valiant strips from the Sunday comics section in the newspaper.

As much as I was going to try and avoid this series, I think this page finally sold it for me.
Heh.
Or – “Resurrection:Â Not Always A Good Thing.”
There’s a tendency in comics for characters to return completely unscathed and unaffected by a seeming death, leaping back into action without even referencing their demise. But, as Stephen King or Rod Serling can tell you, the thought of someone returning from the grave can be a much more complicated and terrifying prospect. Heroes can come back, after all…
…but sometimes they come back different.
Here’s the latest promo piece for DC’s Blackest Night series. Time for Stevie Cool to whip up some new funny.

Booster Gold makes an appearance on Batman: The Brave and the Bold airing this week on the Cartoon Network. Now if there could only be a flashback story featuring Booster and Ted Kord, that would rock.
More after the jump.
The next chapter of the Final Crisis kicked off this week, and next week the second mini-series arrives in the form of Final Crisis Aftermath: Escape #1. Things aren’t looking good for Nemesis, especially when he’s being held captive by the Global Peace Agency. DC Comics has released a sneak peek, that you can see after the jump.
Hey, ‘member that Doc Savage bit we posted yesterday? Yes, it is Doc Savage, and yes, I was correct about that shadow on the wall being The Spirit. How do I know? I took the jump!
Not only did DC unveil the cover image to Batman and Robin #3, the company also posted a couple interior pages of the first issue from the grant morrison, Frank Quietly series.

From Academy Award blockbusters Titanic and Milk to Emmy-nominated performances in Alias and Will & Grace to Tony Award nods for a lengthy list of leading roles on Broadway, Victor Garber has achieved acting greatness regardless of the format.
Now add animation to his list of successes.
In his animation debut, Garber masterfully crafts the voice for the calculating, villainous Sinestro in Green Lantern: First Flight, the fifth in the ongoing series of DC Universe animated original PG-13 movies. Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film – as a special edition 2-disc DVD, a Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def edition, as well as single disc DVD – on July 28, 2009, as distributed by Warner Home Video. The action-packed movie will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download day and date, July 28, 2009.
Green Lantern: First Flight finds Hal Jordan recruited to join the Green Lantern Corps and placed under the supervision of respected senior Lantern Sinestro. The earthling soon discovers his mentor is actually the central figure in a secret conspiracy that threatens the philosophies, traditions and hierarchy of the entire Green Lantern Corps. Hal must quickly hone his newfound powers and combat the treasonous Lanterns within the ranks to maintain order in the universe.
The Canadian-born Garber first captured national attention in his 1973 big screen debut as Jesus in Godspell. Garber’s film credits include Titanic, Milk and Sleepless in Seattle, while his television career boasts six Emmy Award nominations spread over four different series, miniseries and movies. He earned a Saturn Award as Best Supporting Actor in a Television Series for his portrayal of Sydney Bristow’s mysterious father in Alias, and most recently was featured in Eli Stone and Justice.
The toast of Broadway for more than three decades, Garber has four Tony Award nominations for a career of performances that range from the Devil in Damn Yankees! to originating the role of John Wilkes Booth in Stephen Sondheim’s Assassins.
Though Garber has recorded books on tape and done some narration for television, Green Lantern: First Flight represents his first-ever voiceover performance for animation. It is an ear-catching performance that captures Sinestro’s true sinister nature. Garber stole a few moments during his New York-based Green Lantern: First Flight recording sessions to chat about his first-ever animation experience, his hero-posturing co-star, Simon Cowell’s attitude, and the directing tornado that is Andrea Romano.

Could DC really be bringing Doc Savage back to comic books? Will they try to resurrect the Doc Savage and Son series from the late 1980′s that started well, but failed in the end? Who is attached to that mysterious shadow on the other wall? Could this be a page from grant morrison’s Multiversity, The Spirit meeting another contemporary, or is this simply Adam Strange striking a familiar pose?
