Writer James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley are in the early stages of their run on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA, but they’ve been anything but quiet. As you saw in their first issue, some heroes have already fallen. And #39 brings the League into BLACKEST NIGHT. But what happens after? Well, that’d be telling. What I can do, though, is show you some pencils for February’s JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #42, from Bagley.

What is MILESTONE FOREVER, you ask? Well, we can take a guess, but why slow down the process? Since it’s part and parcel of what we do, being The Source and all, we talked to Milestone founder and MILESTONE FOREVER writer Dwayne McDuffie for the scoop on the new project, along with some essential back story to bring you newbies up to speed. Take it away, Dwayne:

16 years ago this month, industry giant DC Comics and upstart Milestone Media entered into an unprecedented creative partnership, producing 14 interlocking, creator-owned titles including Hardware, Icon, and the multimedia hit that would best be known as Static Shock. The story Milestone chose to tell was an audacious one, larger than life on its surface, character and story-driven at its base, Humanist and multicultural at its heart. For over 250 issues, fans explored a superhero universe like no other.

Today, nine Parents Choice awards, four Eisner Award nominations and one Emmy and Humanitas award-winning hit TV series later, Milestone is back, its continuity mysteriously merged with the DCU. While we saw the DC side of the story in “Justice League: When Worlds Collide,” Milestone Forever gathers the original artists from Milestone’s launch titles: John Paul Leon, Mark Bright, Chris Cross and Milestone Founder Denys Cowan, to complete the tales told in the original runs of STATIC SHOCK, ICON, HARDWARE, SHADOW CABINET and BLOOD SYNDICATE. Milestone Editor in Chief Dwayne McDuffie reveals the final fate of each of Milestone’s launch characters in a bittersweet tale that chronicles the literal end of a universe, and the birth of something new, with major consequences for the future of the DC Universe.

Not long ago, we gave you a quick look at the first issue of writer James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley’s upcoming JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA run. But why stop there? With the issue hitting stands tomorrow, we thought a few more pages were worth checking out. Prepare to be surprised.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #38 hits tomorrow.

We’re inching toward the weekend, folks, and that’s a good thing. We’re also inching toward the debut of the first issue of JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA from the superstar team of writer James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley. Stoked? You should be. On that note, we’ve got a few images that might be of interest. Namely, the January covers to JUSTICE LEAGUE: CRY FOR JUSTICE #6 and JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #41.

It all starts here. Writer James Robinson pairs with superstar artist Mark Bagley to begin their run on JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA. You’ve heard rumblings and speculation, you’ve read the chatter around the interwebs. But now’s your chance to get a first-look at the new creative team’s take on the most storied team in the DCU. To sweeten the pot, we threw in a variant cover by Andy Kubert. Happy Thursday.

Oh, and is that Despero?

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #38 hits 10/21.

The Tornado flies alone in this mini-series from writer Kevin VanHook and artist Jose Luis, shining new light on the true origins of the Justice League’s resident android. Not only will you meet a new slew of characters, but you’ll also get to meet Reddy’s true android family, to boot. But with the influx of android relative, what happens to Red Tornado’s adopted human family? We’re not telling. But the pages below will help give you a hint.

RED TORNADO #1 hits 9/2.

How about a cool, double-page spread by Jose Luis from the first issue of RED TORNADO to start your day? The mini-series from writer Kevin VanHook and artist Luis spotlights everyone’s favorite android and his extended “family,” including the Red Volcano, spotlighted below. Nice way to start off Thursday, no?

Surprisingly, I’m still fairly functional. I think. The marathon that is SDCC is coming to a close, but we still have some stuff to show off, at least in regards to books hitting next week.

Len Wein continues his guest stint as writer, teaming with artist Eddy Barrows. The cards are stacked against the remnants of the League, and it’s no surprise I’m jokingly referencing the Royal Flush Gang. Can even the team survive before the unexpected arrival of an old foe? Unclear. But here are some pages to get you up to speed.

JUSTICE LEAGUE OF AMERICA #35 hits 7/29.

Being such faithful Source readers, I have no doubt you all saw our initial Red Tornado news. But to keep you all up-to-date on that front, we snagged some of cover artist Ed Benes’ pencils for the second issue of the mini-series from writer Kevin VanHook and artist Jose Luis, showing off the character known as Red Torpedo.

RED TORNADO #1 hits 9/1.

Heard the big news from last week? Well, we announced the new creative team for JUSTICE LEAGUE. Specifically, writer James Robinson and artist Mark Bagley. But before Bagley — who just wrapped up a historic run on the weekly TRINITY series — steps aboard JUSTICE LEAGUE, he’s got a three-issue arc on BATMAN, pairing him with writer Judd Winick. We teased a page before, but we’ve got three more that you may want to check out.

BATMAN #688 hits 7/8.
