In 1996, visionary artist Alex Ross and writer Mark Waid presented a dark glimpse of the future DC Universe, where heroes abounded but acts of heroism were rare. When the next generation of metahuman crime-fighters causes a devastating accident resulting in mass civilian casualties, a disillusioned Superman is coaxed out of retirement by Wonder Woman to reform the Justice League. But while the Man of Tomorrow believes that his actions will help avert further destruction, his return puts events into motion that may, in fact, cause the apocalypse. Is the future set in stone, or can the Justice League perform a final courageous act to save the world from itself?

The late ’60s marked the height of Batmania, when fans of the television series and the comic books couldn’t get enough of the Caped Crusader. His appearances on covers meant higher sales, so it was decreed that Batman would take up permanent residence in The Brave and the Bold. His courage was never questioned, and he fearlessly teamed up with the most daring partners from across the DC Universe at a time when such crossovers were rare.
These groundbreaking stories featured some of Batman’s greatest team-ups with such legendary characters as Wonder Woman, Flash, Deadman, Green Arrow, Green Lantern, the Teen Titans, and others, all by some of the foremost comics talent of the Bronze Age—Neal Adams, Jim Aparo, Bob Haney, Dick Giordano, and Dennis O’Neil, to name a few.
Batman: The Brave and the Bold: The Bronze Age Omnibus Vol. 1 collects the first stories of Batman’s epic run on the series—The Brave and the Bold #74-106—and includes a foreword by Robert Greenberger.
DC has posted several preview pages from next week’s issue of The Flash, and you can see them at Adventures In Poor Taste. The preview features Wally’s desperate search for a nuclear bomb which has been hidden somewhere in town, and he’s running out of places to look. Check it out at the link!
We are on the second issue of a new direction by writer Ryan North, and the series looks to be in good hands. This series now answers a question we should all have been asking about every superhero series: What would happen if people purposely put themselves in danger so they could be saved? We’re finding out here in the pages of THE FLASH. It started with offers of money to capture the scene, but now it’s become viral entertainment, and Wally is running full speed constantly, just keeping up with people who purposely put themselves in mortal danger! What’s happening, and why? And, can Wally’s new ability give him any edge in the effort? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
Wally and Linda are trapped in the Absolute version of the Mirror Dimension. Murder clones are after them! Can they escape before the clones (each of which looks exactly like Scudder) catch up to them? Can they find their way home at all? Wanna know more? Follow us after the jump!
