Preview Monday: TEEN TITANS #13 and THE UNWRITTEN #42

Mon, 10/22/2012 - 9:00am | Alex Nagorski

For this week’s installment of Preview Monday, we’re giving you exclusive first looks at TEEN TITANS #13 and THE UNWRITTEN #42.

In TEEN TITANS #13, witness the origin of Wonder Girl! While on a dig in Cambodia, Cassandra is forced to save the life of her lover, Diesel, by convincing a spirit that has overtaken his body through an ancient mask to possess her instead. But how will Diesel react when this spirit works its powers on Cassandra instead of on him? And what will Wonder Girl find years later when she brings Superboy and Red Robin to the site where this all happened? From the creative team of Scott Lobdell, Fabian Nicieza and Ale Garza, TEEN TITANS #13 is on sale this Wednesday. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue.

Tom Taylor needs to get to the land of the dead to rescue Lizzie Hexam, but the only way he can get there is through a story – literally. Sometimes, when a story is so deeply connected to a place, one can sometimes find that place and then simply walk into the story’s world. The nearest location for Tom and company is Australia’s Hanging Rock – a place steeped in mystery and fiction from film, literature, and local legends. But has Tom chosen the right location? Will be able to, indeed, just walk into that story? And once there, will he be able to find the story Lizzie is trapped in? In stores this week, THE UNWRITTEN #42 comes to you from Mike Carey and Peter Gross. Click here for an exclusive preview of the issue.
