Two
years ago DC Comics did a major reboot of their comic book franchises stopping
every story line and restarting each one from scratch. They called this the NEW 52 and decades of
past character canon was erased with all of their comic book titles starting
again at ISSUE #1. In celebration of the
2nd anniversary of the New 52, DC is focusing the month of September
on its villains with a new villain focused mini-series and each of the
publisher’s normal monthly titles will be special stand alone villain focused stories.
VILLIANS
MONTH kicks off on September 4th with first full DC universe event
of the New 52 era, Issue #1 of a 7 issue mini-series called Forever
Evil. It appears from what
transpired in the August issue of Justice League that the super heroes are dead
and the villains have inherited the Earth. Forever
Evil promises to be an epic tale from the perspective of the world’s
greatest super villains
Throughout
the month of September, DC Comics is also releasing 52 villain-centered
specials spinning out of their top tier titles. As a result,
all of the DC COMICS – THE NEW 52 titles have been renamed to spotlight
different villains. Some of the comics will be on the villain’s
origins or background, while others will be a one-shot story or jumping-on
point for an October storyline when the comics go back to their super hero
focus. Each of the 52 villain titles
will feature a 3D cover, but unfortunately because of issues with the
production process and tremendous demand for these they will be hard if not
impossible to find. There will also be
traditional non-3D covers for all of these comic books. The 3D will retail at
$3.99 and regular cover versions will be $2.99.
If you want the 3D version, I’d suggest you visit a comic book store on the
Wednesday morning when the titles are released as soon as it opens or see if
you can still preorder a copy from a retailer. Here are examples of a traditional cover vs the new 3D version:
