By Alex Nagorski

Here’s a round up of the exclusive previews from this week’s DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 releases, on sale tomorrow.

USA TODAY has a sneak peek at RED LANTERNS #6. “I really liked the idea of taking these monsters, who are normally portrayed as wild forces of destruction, and really getting under their skin, finding out what made them rage and where their rage might lead them (and) making them individual,” series writer Peter Milligan said of the Red Lantern Corps.

COMIC BOOK RESOURCES posted the first five pages of ACTION COMICS #6, NEWSARAMA debuted a sequence from BATWING #6, COMICVINE has your first look at HAWK AND DOVE #6 and IFANBOY previewed STATIC SHOCK #6.

Meanwhile, MAXIM has a glance at SWAMP THING #6 and WIRED’s GEEKDAD gave you a taste of the new back-up story in MEN OF WAR #6. GAWKER’s KOTAKU has a sneak peek at JUSTICE LEAGUE INTERNATIONAL #6 and GAWKER’s IO9 showed you the first five pages of STORMWATCH #6. And over at IGN, take a first look at DETECTIVE COMICS #6.

Social media buff? Then check out the exclusive previews of GREEN ARROW #6 and O.M.A.C. #6 on DC Comics’ official Google+ and Facebook pages.

And in case you missed our blog post linking to it earlier today, THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER has your first look at ANIMAL MAN #6 and an interview with series writer Jeff Lemire about the issue, which depicts the independent film that Buddy Baker starred in.

Matt Kindt debuts as series writer of FRANKENSTEIN: Agent of S.H.A.D.E.

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

By Pamela Mullin

It was announced earlier today that Jeff Lemire will be writing JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK. Well, Jeff is super talented, but writing four ongoing series is a tough gig, so he’ll be leaving FRANKENSTEIN: AGENT OF S.H.A.D.E. and taking over for him is one of his favorite collaborators, Matt Kindt.

If you’re not familiar with Kindt’s work, you should be. Kindt’s an incredible writer and painter who has worked with Lemire on his ongoing Vertigo series SWEET TOOTH, produced the Vertigo original graphic novel REVOLVER and the Top Shelf original graphic novels Super Spy, 3 Story, and Pistolwhip.

Kindt and Lemire most recently collaborated on the final issue of MEN OF WAR (on sale April 4) which features Frankenstein during World War II. In a recent blog post, the two discussed their collaboration and Lemire revealed that “Matt has been a secret contributor to the series since it launched in September” making him the ideal candidate to take over as writer of FRANKENSTEIN: Agent of S.H.A.D.E.

This marks Kindt’s debut as an ongoing series writer. Here’s what he had to say about this exciting news:

“I’m so excited to be writing Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E.! I’ve been good friends with Jeff Lemire since we both broke into comics years ago and I remember spending the weekend at his studio and kicking his ideas around for his take on Frank and Crew and just having a blast. Lemire was having so much fun putting these characters into action…and I think that fun really comes through.

And then getting the invite to officially work with him on Men of War…AND getting to put G.I. Robot into the story? – that’s the kind of work that I would daydream about when I was a kid getting my comics from the grocery store spinner-rack. So now, getting my hands on a monthly book is just crazy.

I’ve had a pretty fortunate career to date by breaking into comics with my own original graphic novels. All I’ve known is creator-owned stuff. I’ve been spoiled – writing and drawing my own books. So in a lot of ways I feel like I’m the mirror image of a lot of writers that get the work-for-hire stuff straight away and then work to make the leap to creator-owned work. So for me, this is just a great big treat. Getting to work on characters that have been around forever and have a kind of cultural history already. It’s just plain fun. I feel like I’m collaborating with everyone that’s ever touched these characters before, from Grant Morrison to Bob Haney and Arnold Drake.

And working in the DC universe is liberating in a lot of ways. I’m getting a chance to hit more directly on a lot of genre stuff I haven’t gotten to yet – science fiction and horror with all of my past espionage experience mixed into it. It’s a crazy mix. I have to say that writing the scripts for Frankenstein has seriously been some of the most entertaining hours of my writing career.

Taking over for Jeff is just the added bonus – knowing where he was going with the series from the beginning and talking about these great characters he’s rebooted has been fantastic. And it’s going to be fun to surprise him (and the readers) with where it ends up going. There’s Frank and his relationship with so-and-so (can’t spoil it), the Mummy and his crazy origin. And we’re going to get to see a lot more of S.H.A.D.E. and see how the agency works around the globe and visit a lot of crazy field offices. What is life as a S.H.A.D.E. agent really like? It’s basically Steranko meets Tinker, Tailor, Soldier Spy, with some of the best spy-gadgets ever invented.

I was working on the Robot Man story for My Greatest Adventure and digging through my old Doom Patrol comics and I found this old issue of Secret Origins: Doom Patrol. In the middle of that issue was this fantastic essay about what the Doom Patrol was and what they represented. This is the comic that sold me on Doom Patrol and was my gateway to DC. So I’m sitting at a coffee shop re-reading this Secret Origins comic (that I’d picked up at the grocery store) and I realize it’s written by Joey Cavalieri – who’s now my editor on My Greatest Adventure and now Frankenstein, Agent of S.H.A.D.E. and it makes all of this seem right. Full circle and secret origin!”

Pick up issue #10 by Matt Kindt in June.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER’s first look at the ANIMAL MAN movie

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

By Alex Nagorski

Before he was the Animal Man you know in DC COMICS-THE NEW 52, Buddy Baker starred in an independent movie. THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER has your exclusive first look at this film, as shown in ANIMAL MAN #6.

“This issue is a bit different in that it focuses in the ‘indie film’ that part-time superhero, part-time actor, full-time Dad, Buddy Baker made before all of this trouble began,” series writer Jeff Lemire told them. “The character that Buddy plays in the ‘film’ is a washed up superhero who has lost almost all connection to his own wife and son. It is very much a mirror reflecting Buddy’s darkest fears back on him. The film is a metaphor for what he may become if things don’t turn out right.”

Head over to THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER to read the full interview with Lemire and to check out their exclusive preview of ANIMAL MAN #6, in stores tomorrow.

Peter Milligan Heads to STORMWATCH

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

By Pamela Mullin

It was announced earlier today that Jeff Lemire will be writing JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK. So where is Peter Milligan going you ask? Well, Milligan will be staying on RED LANTERNS and Vertigo’s HELLBLAZER and will be writing STORMWATCH beginning with issue #9.

We asked Milligan about taking on the covert sci-fi superhero team STORMWATCH and here’s what he had to say:

“Stormwatch has the craziness, the paranoia and the occasional bursts of odd humor that really grab me. This is my kind of book. In other words, when I re-read Paul Cornell’s excellent first series with a view to taking over the writing duties I was really excited. And I’m excited too by what I have planned, from Stormwatch facing a ferocious character from the Red Lantern Corps, to hidden secrets being revealed about the origin of Stormwatch, and some shocking revelations about the mysterious Shadow Lords. It’s going to be a very intense ride.

It’s a bit of a wrench leaving JL Dark, of course, and not working with the increasingly outstanding Mikel Janin. But the fact that Jeff Lemire is taking over makes me very sanguine. I think Jeff is great. And I think he’ll be great for this book. It’ll be intriguing to see how he handles the great conman mage, John Constantine, whose twisted life I’m continuing to chronicle over in Vertigo’s Hellblazer.”

You can pick up Milligan’s first issue of STORMWATCH in May.

Jeff Lemire takes on JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK

Tuesday, January 31st, 2012

By Pamela Mullin

Following the JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK/I,VAMPIRE crossover in issues 7 & 8, JUSTICE LEAGUE DARK will have a new writer.

Beginning with issue #9, superstar Jeff Lemire (ANIMAL MAN, SWEET TOOTH) will be taking over the reins. We asked Lemire about following the sage Peter Milligan and what he’s got planned and here’s what he has to say:

“This is my dream gig at DC Comics, no doubt about it. The characters in Justice League Dark are my absolute favorite in the DC Comics stable, and I can’t believe I’m actually getting a chance to write John Constantine, Zatanna and Deadman (as well as a few new team members!).

I have a huge amount of respect for Peter Milligan. I’ve loved everything he’s done since his original SHADE run in the pre-Vertigo days of DC to his current run on Hellblazer and JL Dark. It’s a bit daunting to take over this title from someone who I revere as much as Peter, but at the same time I can’t help but be inspired by the work he’s already done with this book.

I obviously have my own ideas for the title as well, and can’t wait to share them with readers. One of the things I’m anxious to explore is just why the name “Justice League” is in the title of this book? I want to explore and create new connections between this team of mystical misfits and Geoff and Jim’s big guns in The Justice League. On that note, Geoff and I have had many discussions on how to link our two books and make the Justice League franchises connect in new and unexpected ways. More on that in the near future…

So, what else can you expect from the “New” Justice League Dark? Well, you’ll see an old haunt becoming the team’s new HQ. Constantine, the master manipulator that he is, will emerge as the clear leader of the team, and there will be 2 new members as well! (Hint one’s a man and one’s a woman. One uses magic, one doesn’t.) Not enough….hmmm…how about a classic Justice League villain re-imagined as The Justice League Dark’s new arc-enemy? And that’s just the start. I have a huge storyline planned with implications across the Dark line of books.

I would also be remiss if I didn’t mention that the amazingly talented Mikal Janin will be staying on board to draw all of this fun stuff, and I couldn’t be happier about that. I’ve loved Mikal’s work since I first saw it in the Flashpoint: Deadman mini-series and I think Mikal is the perfect artist for this book. And I can already tell by our initial talks that this will be the start of a great partnership. And we’re both lucky to have the incomparable Ryan Sook making us look good.

I’m pretty damn excited to be writing Justice League Dark. And I hope you’ll join me as I take you and these characters into the darkest, strangest corners of the DCU and beyond!”

Mike Choi’s variant cover for THE FLASH #6

Monday, January 30th, 2012

By Alex Nagorski

Paving the way for the return of Captain Cold in THE FLASH #7, Mike Choi’s awesome variant cover for THE FLASH #6 depicts a frozen Barry Allen mid-movement. Below, take an exclusive first look for yourself.

“THE FLASH is one of my favorite books right now, so it was a real pleasure and honor to get the chance to work on a cover for the title,” Choi exclusively told THE SOURCE. “I’m good friends with both [series writers and artists] Francis Manapul and Brian Buccellato, whom I’ve known pretty much my entire career, my first professional gig being the follow-up to Francis’ run on WITCHBLADE for Top Cow, with Brian being my colorist on the book, so of course this was a title I was definitely rooting for. Hopefully I’ve done just a little bit to add something to their book and its run.

“Another incentive to try and do a great job on the cover was working with Brian Cunningham, who’s an editor I’ve been really enjoying working with. I’ve come to really appreciate editors who are very straightforward with constructive criticism when it comes to improving your craft on longer and more general terms, because they’ve seen it all and probably know best in terms of how your stuff might be lacking or need improvement. From the get-go, he told me to try and infuse more dynamism to my figure work by looking at artists like John Buscema and Wally Wood, and hopefully that’s coming through bit by bit as my career progresses.

“Anyway, I hope everyone digs it!”

THE FLASH #6 goes on sale February 22nd.

What’s Inside DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 FCBD EDITION

Monday, January 30th, 2012

By Josh Kushins
