Preview Mondays: SUPERBOY #8 and SAUCER COUNTRY #2

Mon, 04/09/2012 - 9:00am | Alex Nagorski

For this week’s installment of Preview Mondays, we’re giving you exclusive first looks at SUPERBOY #8 and SAUCER COUNTRY #2.

Setting the stage for “The Culling,” SUPERBOY #8 acts as a prelude to its crossover event with TEEN TITANS, LEGION LOST and the upcoming DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 “Second Wave” title, THE RAVAGERS. But what is The Culling? What are Ravagers? And how do they relate to one another? Find out in SUPERBOY #8, brought to you by the creative team of Scott Lobdell, Tom DeFalco, Iban Coello, RB Silva and Rob Lean. Click here to check out an exclusive preview of the issue.

In last month’s inaugural issue of SAUCER COUNTRY, writer Paul Cornell and artist Ryan Kelly introduced you to Arcadia Alvarado, a governor from New Mexico who is running for President of the United States. The twist? She believes that she was abducted by aliens. The series’ second issue, out this Wednesday, picks up immediately where its predecessor left off – with Arcadia telling trusted members of her staff about the looming threat of a full-on alien invasion. But will Arcadia’s confidants believe her and does revealing this information put her entire campaign in jeopardy? Find out in SAUCER COUNTRY #2, previewed exclusively here.

SWEET TOOTH #11 and more!

Tue, 07/06/2010 - 12:07pm | DCE Editorial

Ever since issue #1 I've wanted to know more about the seemingly heartless killer we know as Jepperd. In the most intense issue of SWEET TOOTH yet, all of Jepperd's secrets are finally revealed as he recalls the most horrendous time of his life and the vicious events that made him the man he is today. Shocking and brutally violent, In Captivity, In Captivity--the second storyline of the series USA TODAY says "is like Mad Max with antlers"- concludes with issue #11 on sale this Thursday.

In addition, we are proud to announce that Jeff Lemire has signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics! So fans rejoice as you enjoy his work not only here at Vertigo, but also in his upcoming ATOM co-feature in ADVENTURE COMICS and the ongoing SUPERBOY series at the DCU.

Here’s what Jeff has to say about it all:
"As a life long DC Comics fan, I am incredibly excited to be a part of both the DCU and of Vertigo moving forward. Sweet Tooth has been a labor of love for me and I couldn't have done it without the amazing support of Karen Berger and everyone at Vertigo. So, the opportunity to not only continue Gus and Jepperd's saga, but also take on the new Superboy monthly and the adventures of Ray Palmer, The Atom is a dream come true for me!

Both the DC and Vertigo line ups at the moment are full of amazing creators and amazing characters and I'm thrilled to have the chance to be a part of that in the years to come!"
