OTHER HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE #1 (OF 5)
DC COMICS
JUL208345
Written by: John Ridley
Art by: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Andrea Cucchi
Cover Art by: Giuseppe Camuncoli, Marco Mastrazzo
Academy Award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years a Slave, Let It Fall) examines the mythology of the DC Universe in this compelling new miniseries that reframes iconic moments of DC history and charts a previously unexplored sociopolitical thread as seen through the prism of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups.
This unique new series presents its story as prose by Ridley married with beautifully realised illustrations by Giuseppe Camuncoli and Andrea Cucchi.
Issue #1 follows the story of Jefferson Pierce, the man who will one day become Black Lightning, as he makes his way from being a young track star to a teacher and, ultimately, to his role as a hero. Future issues focus on characters such as Karen and Mal Duncan, Tatsu Yamashiro, and Renee Montoya.
Extensively researched and masterfully executed, The Other History of the DC Universe promises to be an experience unlike any other. You may think you know the history of the DC Universe… but the truth is far more complex. The Other History of the DC Universe isn’t about saving the world — it’s about having the strength to simply be who you are.

GRAPHIC NOVELS
| SLAUGHTERHOUSE FIVE OGN HC BOOM! STUDIOS JUN200780 (W) Kurt Vonnegut, Ryan North (CA) Scott Newman (A/CA) Albert Monteys Eisner Award-winning writer Ryan North (Unbeatable Squirrel Girl) and Eisner Award-nominated artist Albert Monteys (Universe!) translate Kurt Vonnegut's classic into graphic novel form in the tradition of A Wrinkle in Time and Fight Club 2. Billy Pilgrim has read Kilgore Trout and opened a successful optometry business. Billy Pilgrim has built a loving family and witnessed the firebombing of Dresden. Billy Pilgrim has traveled to the planet Tralfamadore and met Kurt Vonnegut. Billy Pilgrim has come unstuck in time. Slaughterhouse-Five is at once a farcical look at the horror and tragedy of war where children are placed on the frontlines and die (so it goes), and a moving examination of what it means to be a fallible human. |  |

 | MARVEL ACTION CHILLERS #1 IDW PUBLISHING AUG200543 (W) Jeremy Whitley (CA) Sweeney Boo The chilling grip of the ancient Darkhold threatens the Marvel heroes, and it's up Doctor Strange and Ironheart to save the day... but there's more to this terrifying mystery, as our heroes follow the twisted trail the Darkhold leaves behind, discovering its lost stories, full of scares and thrills! Jermey Whitley pens the four spooky stories in this bi-weekly event, all drawn by a bone-chilling gathering of eerie artists! First: Strange and Ironheart learn of the spine-tingling time Iron Man and Captain America faced a horrifying post-modern prometheus! “Marvel characters have an incredibly long and colorful history in horror stories, from the traditional Marvel Monsters, to Werewolf By Night, to Tomb of Dracula. Those were all titles that I loved growing up, and getting to introduce young readers to the world of spooky Marvel characters is an honor and a privilege. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’re cooking up,” says Whitley. |
