April’s DOC SAVAGE #13 kicks off a six-issue story arc written by extraordinary artist (and Doc Savage fan) J.G. Jones, whom DCU readers will recognize from his outstanding cover work on Final Crisis, 52, Wonder Woman and of course Doc Savage and First Wave.  

As of January 2011, DC Comics titles will no longer carry the Comics Code Authority Seal of Approval. In 2011, DC Comics will employ a rating system consistent with that of the rest of the industry, as well as with our digital releases, which already utilize a rating system. As for our Vertigo comic books, they will not utilize the rating system, because they will continue to be labeled as “For Mature Readers”.  

Three of legendary author/artist Joe Kubert’s most compelling works will be available in paperback this May. If you haven’t experienced his work before, now is the perfect time to give it a try.  

The secret of Kang is revealed in a new episode of “The Avengers: Earth’s Mightiest Heroes” on Sunday, January 23 at 10:00 a.m., ET/PT on Disney XD. With no hope in sight, the Avengers make one last desperate gamble—and the fate of the world depends on their success.  

The never-before-told prequel to Ender’s Game continues! An unidentified ship is rocketing toward Earth with tech far beyond anything we’ve ever seen…and the only people who can give warning are a small band of asteroid miners millions of miles from home.  

Faced with the same adversity and mediocrity that serve as antagonists in every metal kid’s personalized tale of scrounging for success in an over-saturated scene, Abacinate is one band you won’t catch high-fiving one another at the bottom rung of the ladder. From the band’s formation in early 2005, Abacinate has always strived to be more than just a big fish in their small, central Jersey pond.  

Award-winning actor Anthony LaPaglia returns to his villainous roots as the voice of Lex Luthor in All-Star Superman, the highly anticipated 10th entry in the ongoing series of DC Universe Animated Original Movies coming February 22, 2011 from Warner Premiere, DC Entertainment, Warner Bros. Animation and Warner Home Video.  

Marvel is pleased to announce that the critically acclaimed first issue of Dan Abnett and Andy Lanning’s Heroes For Hire will be reprinted in full and at no additional cost within Avengers #10, on sale February 23. Starring fan favorite heroes such as Ghost Rider, The Punisher, Moon Knight, Iron Fist and more, Heroes For Hire, can’t stay on the shelves!  

Phil Jimenez has come home. To DC Comics, naturally! Phil returns to DC after signing an exclusive contract, and I have the pleasure and privilege of working with him. You see, Phil will be drawing and co-plotting an arc of ADVENTURE COMICS starring the “Legion Academy”—with characters he had a hand in creating, along with co-plotter and scripter Paul Levitz.
