Courtesy of DC Comics, here are exclusive previews of three of their titles in stores this week — Superman/Batman #80, Legion of Super-Heroes #9 and Time Masters: Vanishing Point #6. All are after the jump.
TIME MASTERS: VANISHING POINT #6
Written by DAN JURGENS
Art and cover by DAN JURGENS & NORM RAPMUND
Finding Bruce Wayne seems like a trivial pursuit compared to the horrors that the Time Masters stumble upon concerning 2011 and the entire DC Universe! How far has Reverse-Flash gone this time in his manipulations of the time-stream?! Do NOT miss this peek at what lies ahead for the DCU!
On sale JANUARY 19 * 6 of 6 * 32 pg, FC, $3.99 US
LEGION OF SUPER-HEROES #9
Written by PAUL LEVITZ
Art by YILDIRAY CINAR, FRANCIS PORTELA and WAYNE FAUCHER
Cover by YILDIRAY CINAR & WAYNE FAUCHER
The Durlan plot against the United Planets explodes before the Legion’s eyes with one assassin still free – and she’s the deadliest of them all! As far as one particular Legionnaire is concerned, the fight just became very, very personal!
On sale JANUARY 19 * 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US
SUPERMAN/BATMAN #80
Written by CHRIS ROBERSON
Art by JESUS MERINO
Cover by FIONA STAPLES
Okay, so not only is the 853rd century in dire peril, so is the 21st! Surely the combined might of the DC ONE MILLION Batman and Superman and the present-day Bats and Supes is enough to save the day, right? No? Shoot. Well, this looks like a job for Robin, The Toy Wonder! Written by up-and-comer Chris Roberson (CINDERELLA) with art by Jesus Merino (JUSTICE SOCIETY OF AMERICA)!

I know this preview was only placed in the blog while the site is being worked on, but I got to say, it’s a lot easier to read the previews this way (by scrolling through the images) than using the typical image viewer.

Agreed! Saves on clicking and load time.

Thanks for the feedback! The normal image viewer is better for two-page spreads, though.

I agree these is cool also is it possible to due a full comic

So Albert (can I call you Al? You can can call me Say You.), not to get off topic, but what do you guys plan to do you when you DO have two-page spreads? BTW, I think ‘Rama is doing a good job; my friends w/PCs, not so much: too many viruses, they say.

I have to agree with the others before me. I wish this was how previews were done now. Sometimes less is more, being able to just scroll through is extremely preferable.

Prefer this too.
But on to the preview…can I say again how much I LOVE Time Masters!
Generation Lost giving of Team Leader Booster, Time Masters giving us the adventures of Daddy Booster and Lil Rip…can we please get Dan back on Booster Gold and have him write about Future Booster while Judd takes on current Booster?

I’d like to add, while we are commenting on the format of the previews, that I think 5 pages is too many. When the comic is only 20 pages, the ones I’ve read previews of on line feel WAY too short. I saw a preview the other day – maybe it was for Brightest Day 18 – which was 3 pages. After reading it, I was charged up for the issue, but at the same time relieved that there would be plenty to read when I bought the actual book.

Superfriend…you don’t have to read the previews, you know.

If you’re not familiar with what Superman is referring to by the “Wild West”, Epoch cast the JLA back in time in the JLA 80-Page Giant #1, Nov ’09 (cover date)

Thank you very much for another helpful post. I have been a big fan for a few months, and I have been enjoying ever second of it With so many autogenerated blogs out there, its refreshing to find a real one. I run a blog that is very similar, is there any way you would write a guest post on it? Shoot me an email if you are interested!
