JLA:
KID AMAZO
HARDCOVER
 What
if everything you thought you knew about yourself was a lie? What if instead
of an ordinary student, you were the secret son of JLA super-villain Amazo?
JLA:
KID AMAZO is a stunning new 96-page hardcover graphic novel written
by the super-hot Peter Milligan (HUMAN TARGET, X-Statix) and
illustrated by cutting-edge artist Rob Haynes (Daredevil: Ninja,
JLA-Z) answering these questions by shining a light on Pete Halloran,
one of the JLA’s newest — and strangest — adversaries!
When
Pete discovers to his horror that he is really the “son” of the android
Amazo — and hard-wired to fight his “father’s” sworn enemies, the JLA
— his life is turned upside-down. At first, he resists his violent destiny.
But will his bizarre cyborg nature win out over the stability of his everyday
life? And what happens when the JLA must confront not just one but two
adversaries who possess all their powers?
This project is supported with a 6-page preview in an upcoming DC Horizon,
trade and house ads.

 The
highly anticipated miniseries by the superstar creators of Batman:

with Harley again. But Harley won’t be denied, and when Ivy breaks out
of Arkham and heads for South America to find a new Zombie Root, she’s
right behind her!

ENGINEHEAD
 Six
desperate heroes sacrifice their lives to fuse into one being with the
potential to change the entire DC Universe in ENGINEHEAD,
a bold new 8-issue miniseries written by Joe Kelly (ACTION COMICS) with
art by the critically acclaimed Ted McKeever (Ultimate Marvel Team-Up,
The Matrix Comics).
Enginehead
is the ultimate “mechanic,” a human machine forged from the bodies, powers,
and weapons of six individuals from the DCU: Professor Emil Hamilton,
Automan, Rosie the Riveter, Ford, Brainstorm and Doctor Cyber. Like a
real mechanic, he’s charming, secretive, gruff, knowledgeable…and you
never really know for sure what he did to fix things. You just
know it works.
The
six partially mechanical heroes merge to become Enginehead — a “heavy
metal real-time” mechanical being and the newest anti-hero in the DCU.
Built by its creator as a tool to further a noble plan, Enginehead takes
up residence in Irontown, a new DC locale. This book meshes the action
and inspiration of a DC super-hero comic with the depth and conceptual
grittiness of a VERTIGO title.
Weaving
strong characterization, high concepts, and big-wheel action against a
gothic-mechanical backdrop, ENGINEHEAD is a loud, industrial-strength
story built to thrill!
This
project is supported with house ads and a 6-page preview in an upcoming
DC Horizon.

 Does
power corrupt? You better believe it.
FRACTION,
a new DC Focus series written by David Tischman (BARNUM, SON OF SUPERMAN)
with stunning art by Timothy Green II (Star Wars) and covers
by Tomer Hanuka, revolves around four tough young men from Philadelphia’s
mean streets whose idea of a high school reunion is pulling off a drunken
robbery for old times’ sake. But what they end up stealing is the four
components to a high-tech suit of battle armor: a helmet, chestplate,
gauntlets and boots, each with incredible abilities. One game of rock-paper-scissors
later, they’ve divided the parts among themselves — and a tight knot of
lifelong friendships unravels.
The
suit’s components will change each man's life, inspiring paranoia, in-fighting,
the wildest of hopes and dreams — and the chance to either play hero,
or become one hell of a villain. Meanwhile, someone out there will stop
at nothing to get the whole suit back.
The
ex-con. The family man. The mama's boy. The angry punk. How far will each
friend go for a piece of the action? Will the suit — and its mysteries
— outlast them all?

H-E-R-O
#15
 It’s
a changing of the guard in H-E-R-O #15, as new series
penciller Dale Eaglesham (GREEN LANTERN, Sigil) jumps on board,
and longtime classic H-E-R-O device owner Robby Reed returns!
In
H-E-R-O #15, written by Will Pfeifer with art by Eaglesham & Wade
von Grawbadger and a painted cover by John Van Fleet, Robby Reed comes
back in search of the H-E-R-O device, an item he held in his ownership
for longer than any character in the DC Universe. For years, he transformed
into heroes like “Giant Boy,” “King Kandy” and “The Mighty Moppet.” Now,
decades later, he shows up at the door of Jerry Feldon — last seen using
the device in H-E-R-O #1-4 — and tells him that, together, they’ve got
to track the device down!
Over
a few beers at a local bar, Reed addresses some of the burning questions
prompted by his reappearance: How did a nice kid with a magic device turn
into a ruthless escaped convict? If he doesn’t have the H-E-R-O device
anymore, why does he still have the powers? And, if he has the powers
anyway, why is he so desperate to find that gizmo?
