You’ve already read the exciting news that broke during today’s DC Comics-The New 52 panel at San Diego Comic-Con about the release of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS #1 this November.

In case you weren’t able to make the panel, be sure to check out some of the new artwork that was shown. Below, you’ll see art from upcoming titles such as WONDER WOMAN, JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL, STORMWATCH, GREEN ARROW, CAPTAIN ATOM and LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES.

On November 16th, DC Comics will release issue #1 of a new six-issue T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS mini-series. Written by Nick Spencer, the mini-series will have Wes Craig as the main interior artist and include special guest artists in future issues (the same way the first volume of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS was drawn by CAFU & Bit and featured guest artists like George Perez, Ryan Sook, Mike Grell, and Nick Dragotta). Providing the cover art for the entire mini-series will be FLASHPOINT artist Andy Kubert.

“It’s the little book that could! Nothing seems to stop this thing,” Nick Spencer told us. “I’m very grateful to DC for allowing us to continue telling this story that everyone involved has become so passionate about. This is really what we’ve been building towards since the very first issue– everything comes to a head here, and the twists and turns only get crazier as we delve deeper into it. To get to see this story through is enormously fulfilling from a creative perspective, and I’m excited and hopeful that with the collected edition on its way and the first arc already available digitally, we’ll have an opportunity to introduce a legion of new readers to these fantastic characters and the rich history of T.H.U.N.D.E.R.”

“We were thrilled with the response the first volume of T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS got, so we wanted to do a new #1 so people who’ve been curious about the title would have a clean place to jump on board,” series editor Wil Moss said. “Nick Spencer has a crazy level of passion for this title, and he’s come up with a truly great story for this miniseries — underground warlords, deaths, rebirths, betrayals — trust me, you won’t want to miss it! And to have the incredibly versatile and talented Wes Craig on board as the main interior artist, with Andy freakin’ Kubert on board for covers? Not to mention the surprise guest artists who’ll be contributing to #2-5? You’ve no doubt already reworked your comics budget so you can pick up all 52 new books we’re launching in September — what’s one more?”

Just in time for new readers to catch up, T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS VOL. 1, a trade paperback capturing the first ten issues of volume one of the series will hit stores the same day as T.H.U.N.D.E.R. AGENTS #1. Keep checking back to THE SOURCE in the coming weeks and months as we reveal more about T.H.U.N.D.ER. AGENTS.

On August 31st, the fifth and final installment of Geoff Johns and Andy Kubert’s bestselling series, FLASHPOINT, hits stores. That day will also see the launch of DC Comics-The New 52, with the release of Geoff Johns and Jim Lee’s JUSTICE LEAGUE #1.

During today’s FLASHPOINT panel at San Diego Comic-Con, it was announced that in order to transition into this exciting and historic new era for the comic book industry, FLASHPOINT #5 will provide a bridge that will lead to DC Comics-The New 52.

“When FLASHPOINT started, we said ‘everything you know will change in a flash!’” said FLASHPOINT editor and DC Entertainment Executive Editor, Eddie Berganza. “Look through FLASHPOINT as well as the various mini-series and you start to get a hint at what that change means with DC Comics-The New 52! And with FLASHPOINT #5, you will clearly see how it all comes about … and we give you other things to ponder as the DC Comics-The New 52 start to come out. August 31st is just the beginning!”

This week, everyone’s been talking about the new take on Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s relationship in DC Comics-The New 52 this fall. Today comes the first look at Lois’ new boyfriend, a co-worker at The Daily Planet named Jonathan Carroll.

“Superman is one of the World’s Greatest Super Heroes, but he can’t have it all,” DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee told THE NEW YORK DAILY NEWS. “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 Entertainment Co-Publisher Dan DiDio.

SUPERMAN #1, by George Perez and Jesus Merino, flies into stores on September 28th.

Michael Green (BATMAN: LOVERS AND MADMEN) and Mike Johnson (FRINGE) are no strangers when it comes to collaborating on the Superman group titles together. This September, the SUPERMAN/BATMAN co-writers reunite for SUPERGIRL, a new series chronicling the adventures of Kara Zor-El. We caught up with the duo as they teased at what’s in store for SUPERGIRL this fall.

THE SOURCE: What about DC’s new 52 titles excites you the most?

MICHAEL GREEN and MIKE JOHNSON: New = exciting = scary = surprises = great comics!

How and why are you shaking up the series’ status quo?

What new characters will debut in the series?

If we tell you, we’ll ruin the surprises!

Will we see new character designs?

Absolutely! And not just the Girl of Steel’s (awesome new) outfit.

What’s the first line of dialogue in the first issue?

“Multiple incoming.”

What’s the biggest surprise you’ve had working on this character/book?

How much potential there is with such an iconic character. So many stories yet to tell!

What secret has been the hardest to keep?

The one we are keeping right now. It’s big!

What’s the unofficial tagline for this series, in your own words?

Brave new world. Brave new girl.

(Construction Toys Based on the Universe of DC Comics Super Heroes Slated for 2012)

BILLUND, Denmark – July 20, 2011 – Warner Bros. Consumer Products (WBCP) with DC Entertainment (DCE) and The LEGO Group announced today the extension of their successful partnership to translate some of the world’s most popular DC Comics Super Heroes into the world of LEGO® build-and-play adventures with LEGO DC Universe SUPER HEROES. The multi-year licensing agreement grants the world leader in high quality construction toys access to the entire library of DC Comics characters and stories to inspire LEGO building fun. Construction sets, minifigures and buildable characters and creatures inspired by the universe of DC Comics are slated to launch in January 2012.

The new LEGO DC Universe SUPER HEROES collection will feature 13 iconic super heroes in LEGO minifigure form, including: Batman™, Robin™, Catwoman™, The Joker, The Riddler™, Two-Face, Poison Ivy, Harley Quinn™, Bane, Bruce Wayne, Superman™, Lex Luthor™ and Wonder Woman™. Buildable characters will include Batman, The Joker and Green Lantern. Select figures will be on display in the LEGO booth (#2829) at Comic-Con International at the San Diego Convention Center July 21-24.

“We have enjoyed a successful, longstanding relationship with The LEGO Group and this agreement enables the vast universe of DC Comics to inspire an array of incredible offerings,” said Karen McTier, executive vice president, domestic licensing and worldwide marketing, Warner Bros. Consumer Products.  “Fans of our legendary Super Heroes and villains will be delighted with the uniquely imaginative creations which only LEGO Group can create.”

The company will revisit their previous successful collections like LEGO BATMAN™ that also inspired the best-selling LEGO BATMAN: The Videogame, published by Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment, which has sold more than 12 million units worldwide since its launch in 2008.

“Given the fan enthusiasm for previous LEGO BATMAN collections, we couldn’t be more thrilled to continue the build-and-play adventures with new LEGO BATMAN play sets and the addition of other DC Comics properties,” said Jill Wilfert, vice president, licensing and entertainment for The LEGO Group. “This partnership gives builders a chance to recreate the characters, vehicles and worlds of some of the most iconic Super Heroes, so they can relive the action and even customize it – a proven and winning formula in LEGO construction.”

At San Diego Comic-Con, 3,000 exclusive Batman and Green Lantern LEGO minifigures will be distributed to kick off a promotion that will take place from August to December in advance of the launch. Fans are encouraged to use their collectible minifigures and existing LEGO collections to create original LEGO DC Universe SUPER HEROES adventures through video, photography or illustration, then share their submissions on www.LEGOSUPERHEROES.com. Entrants have a chance to win monthly prizes or a grand prize trip to California for exclusive tours of Warner Bros. Studios, WB Animation and LEGOLAND® California.

Throughout the course of San Diego Comic-Con, be sure to stop by the DC Entertainment booth to see some of your favorite artists doing drawing demonstrations on stage. Artists Jim Lee, Francis Manapul, Cully Hamner, David Finch, Mark Buckingham, Rafael Albuquerque, Chris Burnham, Nicola Scott, Bernard Chang, Jill Thompson, Art Baltazar and Franco will be inviting fans into their artistic processes as they show them how they draw all the art you see in comic books every Wednesday.

When a mysterious girl arrives from another planet, the Titans discover the odd and wonderful Bizarro World. What is it? A square planet with Bizarro versions of everyone on our planet, of course. And what’s more, the Bizarro version of Superboy and the Bizarro version of Supergirl are in love. Or at least they will be after Beast Boy gives Bizarro Superboy his dating advice. After all, he is an expert at romance. Just ask Terra …

TINY TITANS #42 comes from the Eisner-nominated team of Art Baltazar and Franco and hits stores today.
