Turns out that Sidekick City, the hometown of the beloved TINY TITANS shares a downtown area with another famous city – Riverdale, home to LITTLE ARCHIE and his friends JUGHEAD, BETTY, VERONICA and REGGIE. News to you, huh? Well, it’s also news to the Tiny Titans, the all-ages and all-fun take on the classic DC heroes, and the Archies!  

It’s been anything but a slow week here at The Source, and with San Diego just a few, short days away, we’ve got a handful of news items for you to mull over. Here’s one right now.  

This October, writer Christos Gage and artist Stephen Segovia reintroduce readers to Rory Regan, a man who’s often struggled to reconcile the burden he carries as Ragman, the protector of society’s forgotten, with his own strained faith. Could the souls he has consigned to redeem themselves within his suit have the answers he needs about the great beyond? What mysteries surround Rory’s own father? Gage and Segovia give readers a look inside one of the DCU’s most unique and peculiar heroes in this one-shot event.  

When we announced there’d be a new creative team on GREEN LANTERN CORPS, one of the first questions people asked was “Where’s Pat Gleason going?” Well, we have an answer for you. Just be patient.  

The Bat-news continues to roll in, with more clues and teases about what exactly is happening in the Batman universe in November. Here’s another piece of the puzzle, involving Mr. Tony Daniel.  

After his initial stop in Philly, Superman heads to Detroit, the home of the auto industry and the music of Motown. Who will the Man of Steel cross paths with? What stories will be shared? That’s about a month away, folks. But swing by and pick up your copy of SUPERMAN #701, on sale today.  

Not long ago, we announced that GREEN ARROW writer J.T. Krul would be adding DC’s top teen team to his resume and taking over as the ongoing writer of TEEN TITANS, starting with October’s #88. But who’s handling the art side?  

Superman’s journey begins with one step – and he’s taking it today. Starting with SUPERMAN #701, writer J. Michael Straczynski and artist Eddy Barrows begin a historic storyline in the pages of SUPERMAN, as the Man of Steel walks across America to not only reconnect with his adopted home, but the people that populate it.  

This October, the Justice Society of America is getting a new chairman. And, by “chairman,” we mean a new writer: Marc Guggenheim. Guggenheim, who has a long list of film and comic book credits, will bring his fast-paced storytelling and refined eye to one of the DCU’s most legendary teams.  

  It’s not a stretch to say one of the most recent success stories to come out of Vertigo is AMERICAN VAMPIRE, a neo-horror classic-in-the-making that has garnered critical and commercial acclaim with it’s modern and exciting take on vampires in America.  

After the BLACKEST NIGHT comes the BRIGHTEST DAY, and if you’re still reeling from the amazing look of the DC DIRECT figures surrounding last year’s DCU-spanning event, you may need to sit down for this one.
