Meet the new Justice League of America this Wednesday, February 20


This Wednesday, DC Comics launches the brand new Justice League of America #1 by the superstar creative team of Geoff Johns and David Finch. Why another Justice League book? Because Johns believes the DCU is full of characters that don't get the attention they deserve, and this new book is the right place to let them shine. America needs a team of heroes to call its own (and control), so Amanda Waller  and Steve Trevor set out to form one just for that purpose. Without further ado, here is your new JLA: Green Lantern, Green Arrow, Catwoman, Katana, Vibe, Hawkman, Martian Manhunter, and Stargirl! Whether these heroes belong on the team or not, one thing is for sure: they are the most dangerous heroes to be found. he bad guys better watch their backs. This issue also kicks of the march toward 'Trinity War' (the big forthcoming DC event). For those variant collectors out there, the first issue features 52 variant covers showcasing every state's flag! If you're looking to delve deeper into the new team, don't miss Justice League of America's Vibe #1 by Adrew Kreisberg, Geoff Johns, and Pete Woods. Find out how one of the most unknown, and unlikely, members of the JLA became of the most powerful super beings on Earth.

But wait, DC has even more to offer this week! 'Wrath of the First Lantern' begins in Green Lantern #17. The threat that led to the creation of the Guardians of the Universe in the first place has returned, and the First Lantern is not happy, setting his sites on Simon Baz and Black Hand. Plus, find out the fate of Hal Jordan and Sinestro! The story continues in Green Lantern Corps #17 as the Lanterns face off against the Guardians of Oa and their Third Army. 'Wrath' keeps on rolling into Green Lantern New Guardians #17 where Kyle Rayner struggles to manifest the White Lantern powers before succumbing to the newly mastered emotional spectrum. As if Geoff Johns didn't have enough on his plate, he wraps-up the epic 'Throne of Atlantis' storyline in Justice League #17. In the aftermath of 'Death of the Family' Batman and Jason Todd come face-to-face in Red Hood and the Outlaws #17. Finally, wave goodbye to Vertigo's longest running series; Hellblazer #300 marks then end of Constantine's non-new 52 adventures, but keep an eye out for Constantine #1 in March.

Marvel looks up to the stars for this week's premiere of Nova #1 by the award winning team of Jeph Loeb and Ed McGuinness. The all-new Nova first came on to the scene in AvX, and now the mystery behind the new Human Rocket is finally revealed. Sam Alexander is a young kid in a small town who feels weighed down by his surroundings and a drunken father repeating tales of some group called the 'Nova Corps.' Well, Sam is about to experience a life he never dreamed of and find out that his father might not be as crazy as Sam thought. Then, Alpha Big Time #1 reintroduces another young man turned superhero: Andy Maguire, aka Alpha. After an incident during a mission with the Avengers, Spider-Man put Andy's dreams of being a hero on hold. However, things have changed, and Alpha is back on the scene! A few other great titles out this week include Thor, God of Thunder #5, Indestructible Hulk #4, Superior Spider-Man #4, Avengers #6, and many others.

IDW rolls out the new G.I. Joe #1 by Fred Van Lente and Steve Kurth. The world now knows about the G.I. JOE team, so Duke and the rest of his crew operate completely in the public eye as they confront COBRA on the JOE's hometurf. This is just the start because IDW will be relaunching several  new G.I. Joe books of the next few months. IDW has the younger crowd (and young at heart) covered with the new My Little Pony Micro Series #1: Twilight Sparkle by Thomas Zahler. This issue marks the first of six in a new series that will highlight each of everyone's favorite Ponies. Twilight sets out to find her favorite author but soon finds out it will take all of her detective skills to track Jade down.

All of the great, new titles featured above and those listed below are available Wednesday, February 20 as soon as Dr. No's Comics and Games opens at 11am. We look forward to seeing you!
