The main headline is that the second wave of DC Nu52 books arrive on our shores: Geoff Johns has a knack of making the comic he's writing seem vital in the DCU. Green Lantern vol. 2 Revenge Of The Black Hand finds Hal Jordan & Sinestro still teamed up bringing a sense that a huge bomb is waiting to go off. Illustrated by a variety of artists including essential GL artist Doug Mahnke. Volume 1 is also out in paperback this week. Wonder Woman vol. 2 Guts continues Brian Azzarello & Cliff Chiang's successful run on the series delving into god mythology as Wonder Woman takes a trip to the Underworld. The first volume is out in paperback this week too. Batwoman vol. 2 To Drown The World makes a hardcover appearance written by JH Williams III (cover different to the one shown). And finally Jeff Lemire's Animal Man vol. 2 Animal vs Man sees an always welcome guest appearance by John Constantine. Rounding out the DC dominance is the paperback edition of Batman Incorporated featuring a host of illustrators and written by Grant Morrison.
For the monthlies the big release is Superior Spider-Man #1 (Marvel) by the defining modern era SM writer Dan Slott; staying on to clean up the mess he made turning things upside down in ASM #698-700. Ryan Stegman is the new illustrator. And finally Star Wars #1 (Dark Horse) set immediately after the movie when Empires ruled and Rebels ran. Written by Brian Wood, illustrated by Carlos D'Anda and with a striking cover by Alex Ross.
