A sneak peak at Wolverine: The Best There Is #1

Marvel is pleased to present your first look at the most violent Wolverine ongoing series you’ll ever lay eyes upon, Wolverine: The Best There Is #1! The creative team of award-winning writer Charlie Huston and rising star artist Juan Jose Ryp introduce a bold new addition to Wolverine’s rogues gallery in the form of Contagion – a villain who gets more dangerous if he’s killed by Logan.  But before Wolverine can find a permanent solution for his brand new foe, he must combat Contagion’s league of guards aptly named, the Unkillables. Featuring covers from a cavalcade of superstar artists like Bryan Hitch, Phil Jimenez, Gabriele Dell’Otto and Marko Djurdjevic, no Wolverine fan can miss this epic debut!

Can Wolverine be the best there is, if he won’t be able to kill? Find out this December in Wolverine: The Best There Is #1!

Superman/Batman hits #75!

These images were posted on The Source earlier today.

Consider this an engraved invitation to a spectacular anniversary celebration, as writer Paul Levitz brings the World’s Finest face-to-face with the Legion of Super-Heroes. Lex Luthor has unleashed a threat so powerful it’s garnered the Legion’s attention in the distant future. But they can’t take him down without a trip to the past to recruit Batman and Superboy.

And there’s more – Joe Kelly and an A-list roster of writers and artists chronicle the history of the Man of Steel and Dark Knight in stories that jump from yesterday to the distant future. Adam Hughes writes and draws a tale starring Supergirl and Batgirl, J.T. Krul and Francis Manipul deliver a tale of Superboy and Red Robin seeking advice from their mentors, Ace and Krypto get leashed by Duncan Rouleau, David Finch writes and illustrates a story for the first time, and Joe Kelly, Steven T. Seagle, Billy Tucci and many more surprises help commemorate this anniversary extravaganza.

Here’s a look at the first story. SUPERMAN/BATMAN #75 hits 8/25.

A first look at Scott Kolin’s pages from JSA

The Source also gave us a peek at some of Scott Kolin’s pages from JSA coming up in October.

Marc Guggenheim isn’t the only big name signing up for the Justice Society. Come October, artist Scott Kolins will be stepping aboard the series for a spell, and, well, that begs for a peek at some art, no?

Before we show off the goods, we checked in with JSA editor Mike Carlin for a little background on what makes Kolins such a great fit for the Justice Society:

“Scott Kolins is a classic artist— not just a comics artist, but an artist who is always striving to create something new… Something vital that hasn’t existed before. Scott first did this on his acclaimed run of FLASH with Geoff Johns… And he’s doing it again with his current work on JSA! This is a Scott Kolins for the future— for the Justice Society of the future! Remarkable and new.”

And here’s that art we promised…
