Some DC Free Comic Book Day samples

First Up (up... and AWAY! Ahem... sorry)

Two pages from Art Baltazar and Franco's Superman Family Adventures








Then... two pages from Batman Incorporated






Love the bit about "The kid moved like only special effects could explain it" :)



And finally, the gatefold JLA splash advertising the forthcoming "Trinity War"

Four things: 1) I wish they'd incorporated the 'family' into the Superman Family preview, 2) I liked Batman Inc back when it fit into continuity, but can't invest now., 3)WHY Vibe???, and 4) WTF happened to Mera's face???

[randyripoff]

Why Vibe? Why not Vibe?

[espanolbot]

It fits with continuity... as long as you ignore everything outside of the Bat Books (and that includes Teen Titans and Red Hood and the Outlaws).

It's either that or returning to my Angry Dome to rant some more.

Vibe does have the distinction (I think) of being the first non-basic-white-looking member of the JLA ever (Martian Manhunter doesn't count), though I'd be happy to be corrected if I've overlooked someone.

[arilou_skiff]

Is that the mutants from DKR?

Also, goat-mask guy! I love him despite not knowing anything about him!

[icon_uk]

They certainly LOOK like the DKR mutants.

[darkblade]

Every dozen or so issues of every modern Batbook must feature DKR mutant look a likes. I'm pretty sure DC actually has that written in their Batman contracts.

[star_of_airdrie]

I love the Goat Mask Guy too... it's a shame he's scared to death and beaten to a pulp by Bats now

[pyrrhocorax]

A mask? Nuts, I thought that was his face :(

[shadowpsykie]

i just realized is that Bunker and Dan Didio?

[icon_uk]

Dan Didio for sure, not sure about the Bunker as the figure here appears to have more of a beard that Bunker's soul-patch thingie...

Is that Ryan Choi? I promised I would start picking up Justice League after they introduced Ryan, assuming they didn't just introduce him to kill him. Have they used him yet?

Also, Mera? Sweetie? It may not be the best idea to attack things with your face. Just a thought. (At least, I think that's what she's doing. Maybe someone hit her? But it looks like she's charging-)

Superman Family looks cute, though it would've been nice to see the kids.

[icon_uk]

Ryan is the name being mentioned as the Atom but they haven't used him yet AFAIK, or the Element Woman. (Of course, taking Blue Beetle as an exemplar, just because they have the same name, doesn't mean they'll be as much fun)

Mera has, I think. just been punched out by Wonder Woman.

[cainofdreaming]

Who's that on the lower left corner of the last scan?

And why is Batman lugging a rock around?

[sunaya]

To my surprise and possibly horror as well, I think that is Vibe.

It's hard to see in this particular scan, but it appears that Batman is hauling around Pandora's Box.

[whitecometrx7]

Is that Black Adam i see? has he been reintroduced into the DC universe? does he still have any of his story from 52 or the dark age? Was he still turned into stone by the great wizard douche?

[qalchemist]

To my horror, I think that is Captain Mar^H^H^H Shazam. :(

[kurenai-tenka.livejournal.com]

"I really like the V-neck collar!"

...Well that's not something I hear often.

[auggie18]

Generally speaking, I like V-necks. Just not any of the ones we've seen in the DCnU.

Holy crap

[big_daddy_d]

Did Damian give that guy a Backstabber?!

Re: Holy crap

[big_daddy_d]

Ok apparently in preview, the image shows up with no problem but once posted, it just shows that annoying red X. Here's the direct link.

I hope Element Woman doesn't end up being as annoying Starman was in JSA. Geoff Johns doesn't do a very good job writing comically insane.

[lascoden]

he wrote her pretty well in Flashpoint, imo.

[superfangirl1]

I so can't wait and very excited for Superman Family Adventures!

[shadur]

I love the "... oh, this is going to hurt" look on the sniper's "face" there.

[icon_uk]

If this was Dick's Batman he'd have to make the "You've been a baaaaaa-d boy".

As it is, I can hear the guy babbling instead.

"I was only kidding.... see, the mask... a goat... kid-ding... this is going to hurt, isn't it?"

[eyz]

The new Batman Inc looks GREAT! :D

Without Tiny Titans around anymore, I guess that new Superman-Johnny DC will have to do :/

A new Atom!! Again! A new Lantern (??)!!! Elemental Woman!! Just add Martian Manhunter and I'll be happy with this new roster!

[kraesil]

Trinity War. Big superhero fight. Why am I not surprised?

[icon_uk]

As it's a big event in a superhero filled comic book universe, what else were you expecting?
