KLAUS #1

(W) Grant Morrison (A) Dan Mora (CA) Frazer Irving, Dan Mora

What's to Love: Grant Morrison is one of the most prolific and best-selling writers in comics, earning a reputation for his ability to effectively revamp superheroes like Animal Man, Batman, and the X-Men. His creator-owned titles are also highly praised, including The Invisibles, Nameless, We3, and Joe the Barbarian, because no one tells mythical stories better than him. In Klaus, Grant reimagines one of the biggest cultural myths in history, and we could not be more excited to pair him with one of our homegrown talents, Dan Mora (Hexed)!

What It Is: Set in a dark fantastic past of myth and magic, Klaus tells the story of how Santa Claus really came to be. Where did he begin? What was he like when he was young? Why does he do what he does? How does he do what he does? And what happens when he faces his greatest challenge? Drawing on Santa Claus' wilder roots in Viking lore and Siberian shamanism-taking in the creepier side of Christmas, and characters like the sinister Krampus-Klaus is a "Santa Claus: Year One."

A NEW ERA FOR DC COMICS

Reading Multiversity and Convergence together clears the slate for creators playing with the DC characters and settings to go where their imaginations lead. Plenty of room, still, for continuity heavy storylines to continue, but ultimately there is more room, now, for creators to tell stories that are unburdened by 75 years of forced continuity.

Kudos to DC Comics, Geoff Johns, Grant Morrison, Dan DiDio and Jim Lee for really making it work. I look forward to seeing where the next wave of creators will take your characters.

ZENITH HC

(W) Grant Morrison (A) Steve Yeowell

Available for the first time in 20 years, the legendary early work by Grant Morrison and Steve Yeowell! Berlin, 1945: The allies unleashed the World War II hero Maximan upon the German super soldier Masterman. Maximan's defeat was only kept secret by the nuclear bomb which destroyed both men. Forty-plus years later, and twenty years after a generation of '60s British superpowered heroes came and went, the teenage pop star Zenith is the only superhuman left - and his only interest in women, drugs, alcohol and fame. So when he is contacted about the threat from the many-angled ones and the impending destruction of our world, his first reaction is to steer well clear. But the superhumans of the past have other plans!

Flying out of the past like a retro rocket, Zenith is back in an all new, super deluxe edition for readers of a new generation! This Morrison classic has all the trapping of his usual psychedelic madness featuring a slacker, drug addled Super-Hero and extra-dimesional beings who seek nothing less than the total destruction of our reality!! Fun, zany super-hero sci-fi from Morrison and Yeowell!

MULTIVERSITY: THE JUST #1

(W) Grant Morrison (A) Ben Oliver

The next chapter of the greatest adventure in DC's history is here!
When they last collaborated, Grant Morrison joined artist Ben Oliver (LOBO, BATMAN/SUPERMAN) for the acclaimed ACTION COMICS #0. For their next team-up, the two superstars take a spin around the self-obsessed Earth-16 - a.k.a. Earth-Me!
With all of the world's threats having been handled long ago by their parents, the next generation of supers - including Chris Kent, Damien Wayne, Alexis Luthor, Offspring, Megamorpho, Donna Troy and more - find themselves labeled as superstars more often than super heroes. But with that fame comes complacency, and when a massive threat unlike anything they've ever seen surfaces, this pampered crew finds themselves in way over their head. What secret is Damien keeping from Chris that could tear the world's finest friends apart? Who is the mysterious killer lurking behind the scenes among these spoiled super-children? And what chance do they stand against the monstrous villain that's murdering its way across the Multiverse? All that and more in this exciting stand-alone issue which also acts as chapter three of the MULTIVERSITY saga. Join us, if your dare, for THE MULTIVERSITY!

In what is supposedly his swan song performance by Mr. Morrison before hanging up his cape, the Multiversity explodes like a hyper resonated bullet-sound of Bowie screaming "heroes" throughout time and space powered by the bottomless pit of Kirby Krackle that Morrison has been huffing since the late 1980s. For the third part in the mega eipic that is Multiverstiy, we venture to a world ruled by fashion, fame, money and power; a world that reminds me of not only our own, but of the one seen in issue #2 of Final Crisis which was one of my favorite parts and I'm glad he is revisiting the concept of Super-Hero legend being pieced out, sold, commodified--a world where normal human celebrates faded out of favor...and so did heroes...
