Celebrating 52 issues of incredible storytelling, DC Entertainment’s May
2016 variant cover theme pays homage to eleven #1 issues that kicked
off The New 52.
DC Comics proudly presents: "The New 52" hits 52!
Celebrating
52 issues of incredible storytelling, DC Entertainment’s May 2016
variant cover theme will pay homage to the #1 issues of eleven comics
that debuted in 2011 when DC Entertainment rebooted their superhero
publishing line and revitalized the comics industry as a whole. It was a
momentous occasion then, and is an anniversary to celebrate now!
Inspired
by Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman #1, Rags Morales and Brad Anderson’s
Action Comics #1, Adam Hughes’ Batgirl #1, and more, these brand-new
“The New 52” variants will grace the covers of those same landmark
titles that are hitting issue #52 in May. Illustrated by an all-star
lineup of incredible talent, May’s lineup of variant covers are as
remarkable as the industry-changing covers they’re based on.

DC Comics’ new logo numbering mystery January 19, 2012 @ 03:00 PM by Steve Sunu
DC Comics’ new logo was officially unveiled this morning,
followed by the release of mockups showing how the “peel” design would
appear on digital devices, collected editions and single issues.
However, a closer look at the latter reveals a comics conundrum: a New
52 cover for Batman, with the current creative team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, is labeled as Issue 708, while George Perez’s Superman
#1 cover is numbered somewhere between #700 and #709 (it’s partially
obscured, making it difficult to tell). Here’s the thing — despite the
New 52 covers, both of those issues were published before the New 52 was
announced in July 2011.
Asked whether the team would expand to a bigger
lineup in issue #7 as has been hinted by early Jim Lee promotional art,
the artist said, "I'm not introducing any new costumed JL members in
the one issue I'm doing. There are some new characters showing up, but
none of them are members of the team in costume."
However, Ha was relishing the chance to play with the new versions of
DCU favorites, including the Kryptonian Battle Armor version of
Superman. "I know that a lot of people did not like how George Perez did
the cover to 'Superman' #1 where the armor looked like separate plates,
but frankly -- I kind of liked it! I'm just a huge fan of George Perez.
I mostly stayed towards the Jim Lee version but threw a little Perez in
there. I saw a few comments online that some people didn't like it, but
most people seemed to like how it turned out. It was a bit of a
compromise between the two."

DC Comics hopes revamped heroes and digital will save the day Aug. 22, 2011 | 6:45 p.m. by Ben Fritz and Geoff Boucher
DC Comics co-publisher Dan DiDio was at a comic-book store in New
Jersey when he noticed something alarming. Over the course of an hour,
only two customers came in. And, this was a Saturday — the busiest day
of the week for most retailers.
“The walk-in, casual fans have gotten away from us,” DiDio observed. “We are down to just the die-hard buyers.”
(excerpt)
In the short run, it seems everyone in the comic-book industry will
benefit. DC’s flagship title, “Justice League No. 1,” has pre-orders for
more than 200,000 print copies, which would make it the bestselling
title of 2011. Six other new DC No. 1’s already have more than 100,000
pre-orders.
“Fan interest is huge — much of it positive, some negative, and some very cautious,” Gladston said.
But much-hyped events and reboots have boosted comic-book sales
before without much long-term effect. Wolfman wrote one of the earliest
in 1985 with “Crisis on Infinite Earths,” which was originally intended
to result in every comic book restarting at No. 1, before editors
decided against it. Since then, events, crossovers and reboots have
become a near annual occurrence for DC and Marvel.
“The stunts have run their course,” Liefeld said. “This is the
biggest one in the past 25 years, and nothing else can come close.”
This video at DC Comics The New 52 shows off George Perez's Superman #1 cover on the background of Dan Dido and Grant Morrison.
On Wednesday, August 31st, DC Comics will launch a historic
renumbering of the entire DC Universe line of comic books with 52 first
issues. Here’s your central starting point for all 52 of those issues.
Since I didn’t attend San Diego Comic Con
last week, I did the next best thing and tried to enjoy it vicariously
via Tweets, blogs and articles at GeekMom and elsewhere.
(excerpt)
The panel above shows the new status quo of her relationship with
Clark. The setup is that they’ve been working together five years and
never apparently connected, nor has Lois not figured out there’s
something her fellow employee might be hiding, like a secret identity.
Apparently, she’s too busy running things or hanging out with men who
like pointing fingers when they meet someone. But worse than that, her
appearance is merely a prop to make the reader feel bad for poor Clark
because the girl he wants is having sex with someone else. This is not
an accident, this is intended to be read that way.
Yes, Lois is a supporting character. But she’s also DC’s most
recognizable female character next to Wonder Woman or, arguably,
Batgirl. To see her reduced to a prop to make the reader feel bad for
Clark is frustrating, especially since one of the things I asked for in
my Open Letter to DC was three-dimensional characterization, even if the
women were not the stars of the book. Add to that the report that DC
Superman Group Editor Matt Idelson said Superman doesn’t need a “trophy wife” at the SDCC panel and I’m very pessimistic about getting a three-dimensional Lois.
During today’s Designing the New DCU 52 panel at SDCC, attendees
were invited to see how characters are designed to how they end up
looking in the final pages of a comic book. Below, take a look at the
art we showed during this presentation for such titles as ALL-STAR
WESTERN, ANIMAL MAN, BATGIRL, BIRDS OF PREY, THE FLASH, GREEN ARROW, THE
SAVAGE HAWKMAN, I, VAMPIRE, LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES, RED HOOD AND THE
OUTLAWS, SUICIDE SQUAD, SUPERBOY, SUPERGIRL, SUPERMAN and TEEN TITANS.
DC Comics showed even more preview images from upcoming DCnU titles Friday afternoon at Comic-Con International: San Diego, this time featuring the Superman family of titles.

Superman is back on the market - in a revamped comic series and as a bachelor.
He has truly become "The Man of Tomorrow."
In hopes of reaching a younger audience, DC Comics is relaunching all
of its DC Universe comics for "The New 52" line - which includes Batman,
Green Lantern and Wonder Woman. Each will start over at No. 1 with
fresh storylines, beginning in September.
"Some of the old school people are a little skeptical," said Mike
McCormick, owner of Comic Empire of Tulsa for 28 years. "DC is taking a
bit of a chance. If you stop it and start it over again, will it lose
momentum? No one knows for sure, it is a gamble. But it's exciting."
There will be two Superman-centric titles:
Action Comics No. 1, written by Grant Morrison and illustrated by Rags
Morales, will be set five years in the past. Wearing jeans, a T-shirt
and a cape, the younger, brooding Superman is still finding his way as
an alien from the planet Krypton.
And there will be George Perez's Superman, which takes place in the
present. It features Superman's new costume, a villain who's more
powerful than Superman, Clark Kent as a bachelor, and Lois Lane dating a
co-worker - who is not Clark Kent - at the Daily Planet.
COMIC-CON INTERNATIONAL: LOIS LANE'S NEW BOYFRIEND
DC Comics has revealed Jonathan Carroll, Lois Lane's new boyfriend and Daily Planet co-worker in the rebooted Superman title.
"Superman is one of the world's greatest super heroes, but he can't have
it all," DC co-publisher Jim Lee said. "Many of us know what it's like
to be the odd man out and we think readers will have a soft spot for
Clark when they see his reaction to Lois' new boyfriend."
"In resetting Superman's story and origin, it gave us a chance to
revisit the challenges of that relationship in a contemporary setting,"
said DC co-ublisher Dan DiDio.
Superman #1, by George Perez and Jesus Merino, arrives in stores on Sept. 28. Click on the thumbnails for larger images.
He has been called the Man of Steel, the Last Son of Krypton and a strange visitor from a distant planet.
He is Superman, the Man of Tomorrow. As part of DC COMICS – THE NEW
52, this September will usher in a new Superman for the new century.
(excerpt)
And in the SUPERMAN ongoing comic book series, by writer George Perez
and artist Jesus Merino, will be set in present day continuity and will
unleash a series of new challenges for Superman and his alter ego Clark
Kent.
* Clark Kent is single and living on his own. He has never been married.
* Lois Lane is dating a colleague at the DAILY PLANET (and his name isn’t Clark Kent) and she has a new position with the paper.
Timeless and modern, classic and contemporary, but younger, brasher
and more brooding, this is Superman. The New Man of Tomorrow.
Superman & Lois Lane -- DUNZO!!!! 7/18/2011 12:55 AM PDT by TMZ Staff
Maria and Arnold ... J.Lo and Marc Anthony ... and now Superman and Lois
Lane are officially KAPUT ... TMZ has learned. Seriously.
Sources
at DC Comics tell us ... the company is rebooting the Superman comic
book series in September -- with a brand new Superman #1 -- in the hopes
of creating a new starting point for fans with more modern, relevant
story lines.
And there are some HUGE developments ... including
the fact that Lois and Clark are NOT together. In fact, we're told Lois
has a new boyfriend.
The new adventures of Superman begin here! What is The Man of Steel’s
startling new status quo? How does it affect Lois Lane and The Daily

6/10/11: History Happens Now
Since
I'm not going to be doing any interviews regarding the SUPERMAN reboot
(not wishing to inadvertently spill any plot beans) I just want to give
you all the skinny on what exactly I'm doing on the book. As was
recently revealed is that ...I
will be writing the new series SUPERMAN: THE MAN OF TOMORROW. What
wasn't explained is that I'm also doing the thumbnail layouts for the
book, something I did for artist Kerry Gammill years ago when I worked
on ACTION COMICS. This way, I'd be providing my storytelling style, body
language and suggestions for facial expression, but the final look of
the book and characters will be handled by Jesus Merino, and from what
I've seen of his work so far, we're going to work quite well together. I
was asked to draw the covers, so I will get some experience drawing
this new Son of Krypton. I hope you like what you see and read when it
debuts in September. And that's all I have to say about that. Ask me no
questions and I'll tell you no lies. ;-)
What is Superman’s startling new status quo? How does it affect his
friends, loved ones and his job at The Daily Planet? Find out in
SUPERMAN #1, written by legendary comics creator George Perez (CRISIS ON
INFINITE EARTHS, NEW TEEN TITANS and WONDER WOMAN) and illustrated by
Jesus Merino.
Flashpost: The New Superman #1 Submitted by Rich Johnston on May 31, 2011 – 4:30 pm
In Superman #1,
launching in September, we will see what appears to be a new uniform
for Superman. Based on the usual style, but more segmented with scores,
seams or raised lines running across and around his arms, legs and
torso. Kneepads as part of a segmented bulky boot. And a belt that
reflects the Superman shield shape. And involvement in some form by
George Perez. I’m also told Rags Morales may be involved with Action Comics #1.
