Well, in this case it’s more like “Look! Sitting here on my desk!” but you get the point. One of the funny things about working in the DCU editorial offices is that I am constantly looking at stuff that I can’t talk about with the fans. Having to wait until we’re ready to announce something can be torture. For example, I really wish I could tell you about the new character that we’re about to debut in TEEN TITANS but I can’t. Or I wish I could tell you what’s happening in the Bat-books in 2012 (that’s not a typo) but I can’t spill the beans. So it’s a good day when something comes across my desk that’s not out yet, but that I can show you.  

Writer Brian Azzarello and artist Rags Morales present the next chapter in the FIRST WAVE saga, as Doc Savage and The Spirit have followed the Blackhawks to Hidalgo. But the Red Hand stands between them and the murderous Anton Colossi – who’s busy breaking bread with his dear friend Bruce Wayne, i.e. The Batman. And when Doc’s newfound fortune is stolen as quickly as it was discovered, it’ll take another uneasy truce between The Avenger and Doc’s crew of compatriots to track it down.

So let me start off with saying that when I heard that “The Batman” animated series was being cancelled and replaced by the new Batman: The Brave and The Bold series, I was a bit upset. I, unlike many animated Bat-fans liked “The Batman” series, especially in its final season as members of the JLA were making individual appearances. So, I resisted a bit on catching up with The Brave and The Bold. Then I watched a couple of episodes on the Cartoon Network, and lo and behold, I was hooked.  

The last few years have not been kind to Zakk Wylde. He was diagnosed with a severe blood clotting disorder that led him to quit drinking, longtime BLS drummer Craig Nunenmacher departed from the band, and Zakk was released from his long time duties as lead guitarist for Ozzy. Where most artists would fall apart or begin to self destruct, Zakk bounced back and wrote one of the best Black Label Society albums to date.
