DC Comics Proudly Presents: “The New 52” hits 52!
It’s been nearly five years since the New 52 began, and of the original fifty-two titles released, only eleven remain, and this May, those titles reach issue #52. To celebrate this event, and the last five years of incredible storytelling, DC Entertainment has decided to have their variant cover theme for May pay homage to the #1 issues of the remaining eleven titles. It was a momentous occasion then, and is an anniversary to celebrate now!
Inspired by Cliff Chiang’s Wonder Woman #1, Rags Morales and Brad Anderson’s Action Comics #1, Adam Hughes’ Batgirl #1, and more, these brand-new “The New 52” variants will grace the covers of those same landmark titles that are hitting issue #52 in May. Illustrated by an all-star lineup of incredible talent, May’s lineup of variant covers are as remarkable as the industry-changing covers they’re based on.
