TUESDAY TUNE-UP: WEDNESDAY COMICS WEEK 1

Tuesday, July 7th, 2009

By Alex Segura

Tomorrow marks the launch of WEDNESDAY COMICS, one of the most-anticipated projects to come out of the DCU in quite some time. Featuring an all-star cast of creators gathered by DC Art Direct Mark Chiarello, the project is an impressive collection of work from the best and brightest the industry has to offer, featuring some of your favorite characters. Whether it’s the pulpy, street-level drama of Brian Azzarello and Eduardo Risso’s BATMAN or the left-of-center space caper of Paul Pope’s MYSTERY IN SPACE, I’m not kidding when I say WEDNESDAY COMICS has something for everyone. And more.

So, here at The Source, every Tuesday, we’ll be spotlighting one of the 15 stories showing up weekly in WEDNESDAY COMICS.  In the coming weeks, we’ll also use this thread as a venue to discuss the book — what series are you crazy for? What did you like about the last issue? What would you like to see in the future? Sound cool? We think so.

We’ve shown a ton of art from the first week already, so I’m risking Chiarello coming down to my office and unplugging my computer here. But, because we’re kind folks here at The Source, here’s a first look at THE FLASH, from artist Karl Kerschl.

So, what strip are you looking forward to the most? Which creators made this a “must add” to your pull list? Let us know.

More next week.

    Anyone not getting this in the next couple of days is some kind of idiot.

    I can’t wait to check out Metamorpho, Adam Strange, Hawkman, and to at least look at the Supergirl page.

    By the way, isn’t it time to see Solo as a trade collection?

    Metal Men!!!

    So, what strip are you looking forward to the most?

    Metamorpho, Adam Strange, Batman.

    Which creators made this a “must add” to your pull list?

    I was sold when I heard about Gaiman writing Metamorpho.

    You guys should’ve done a Swamp Thing strip!

  11. braddock says on July 8th, 2009 at 2:52 am :

    Oh, and Dave Gibbons on Kamandi!!!

  12. Gorbunov says on July 8th, 2009 at 10:29 am :

    Three main reasons:

    1. Paul Pope.

    2. Kyle Baker.

    3. John Arcudi + Lee Bermejo.

    Gaiman, Azzarello & Sook make purchasing even easier.

    Can’t wait to get my hands on this, haven’t been to the LCS in almost a month, been so busy at work.
