lights, big city!
ASTRO CITY: LOCAL HEROES
It’s
time to book a return passage to Astro City — that storied municipality
populated by dozens of super-powered heroes and villains!
The
Homage hit series returns this February as a series of miniseries. The
first, ASTRO CITY: LOCAL HEROES, is a 5-issue bimonthly
miniseries that reunites writer Kurt Busiek (THE POWER COMPANY, Thunderbolts)
with artist Brent Anderson (Rising Stars) and cover artist Alex
Ross. LOCAL HEROES kicks off with three stand-alone stories that reintroduce
the heroes and villains of Astro City, followed by the 2-part tale “Dark
Ages.”
The
series begins with the tale “Newcomers,” introducing Pete Donacek, the
genial doorman at one of Astro City's finest hotels. New to the city?
Want to see the heroes? Pete knows the best places, where you're most
likely to spot ’em, and the neighborhoods to avoid. But Pete was a newcomer
to the city himself once — and has a story of his own to tell.
ASTRO
CITY: LOCAL HEROES features plenty of Astro City's superstars, including
Samaritan, the Confessor, Honor Guard, Jack-in-the-Box, Crackerjack and
more. Pack your bags and book your reservation today!
This
project is supported with a full-color poster, trade and house ads, and
a mini-site at www.dccomics.com.

THUNDERCATS: THE RETURN
What
happens when the world you know is gone and the last five years of your
life may have been nothing but a bad dream? Lion-O, leader of the Thundercats,
is about to find out! Hot on the heels of the successful first THUNDERCATS
miniseries comes THUNDERCATS: THE RETURN, the latest
offering in WildStorm’s exciting revamp of the classic ’80s cartoon!
Writer
Ford Lytle Gilmore (THUNDERCATS) returns, this time teaming with artists
Ed Benes (SUPERGIRL, CODENAME: KNOCKOUT) and Joe Pimentel (Spider-Man
Unlimited, Buffy the Vampire Slayer) to present a 5-issue
miniseries that thrusts everyone’s favorite feline heroes five years into
a disturbing future. Issue #1 also features a variant cover by John Cassaday
(PLANETARY, Captain America).
Lion-O,
imprisoned for the last half-decade and unaware of the passage of time,
finally is rescued from captivity. He emerges into a nightmare world in
which Thundera has fallen, evil holds sway, and the Thundercats are enslaved…those
that are still alive, anyway. But Lion-O isn’t the kind of king who’ll
sit by and watch this horror without putting up a fight…even though it
may prove to be the toughest battle of his life!

project is supported with house and trade ads, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com.
