SPOILER: Detective Comics #19 "Mystery of the 900" WTF Cover revealed by Previews

CORRECTION UPDATE: It's Detective Comics #19, not "Batman #19" as initially posted.

A new month begins, and so does a wave of new "Previews" to enjoy for those who delve into the world of comics, toys, games, and just about anything in the world of popculture! That being said, DC Comics has revealed the full cover to the mega-sized New 52 issue of "Detective Comics #19" on the newest issue of Diamond Comic Distributor's "Previews". It's part of a new "WTF" cover initiative the publisher is starting in the month, as well as the fact that had the New 52 not happened, Detective Comics #19 would have been the hero's 900th title - hence the mega-sized price and celebration status the issue celebrates.

SPOILERS of course follow since it pretty much gives off what the "Mystery of the 900" is, so peak at your own risk.

You have been warned!

First Look: Batman # 8 and the Court of Owls back-up!

Announced in DC Comics' official blog The Source, here is a first look at what's coming in a few months time with Scott Snyder and Rafael Albuquerque's epic DC The New 52 run on Batman. Starting with issue #8, a new back-up feature will be included in the series, entitled "The Secret History of The Court of Owls", focusing on the society that has been hounding The Dark Knight and his home Gotham City.

Comic Book Review: DC The New 52 #1

Technically this isn't a "comic book" per se, but with all the hype and buzz building up, plus the fact that it has a #1 numbering attached to it, I have every reason to believe that DC Comics may start producing a series of "preview books" each month that are similar to the competition (i.e Marvel Previews). So without further ado, let's begin the review proper.

Since the big announcement last month that they were going to revamp the universe and relaunch majority of their books, DC Comics has earned both the ire and admiration of its entire fanbase. After over 70 years of publishing comics and characters that have remained mostly true and unchanged in structure, the publisher (under the direction of co-publishers Dan Didio and Jim Lee) has decided to give a complete makeover to their titles and heroes, paving the way for a bold and new direction which they have dubbed "The New 52".

Death Of Spider-Man?!

First, he loses his uncle...

Then, he loses his marriage...

Now, he's going to die?!

I don't know what Marvel is planning for our friendly neighborhood webslinger, but after the events of Civil War, Brand New Day, and the upcoming Big Time, it seems like Peter Parker's alter ego, the Amazing Spider-Man, will face death itself. Revealed in comic blogsite Newsarama, Marvel Comics' upcoming December issue of Previews reveals a somber image in the form of "The Death of Spider-Man", which only suggests that the webslinger's going to meet his doom. However, with a title like this, I'm not even getting anxious or excited. They've already killed and resurrected so many comic book characters before (see Superman and Cap), it's become routine, and a vicious cycle of superheroes playing "russian roulette" and buying the big one to get fans talking. Regardless, I'll keep tabs on this story as it develops. Newsarama's got the scoop on this, so check out the source article for more info and updates.

Get Ready For The New Spider-Girl!

Last week's Amazing Spider-Man story arc "The Grim Hunt" ended with several revelations, returns, and changes to the Spider-Man universe. I won't go in-depth as to what went down in that story, but what I can tell you is that there's a new Spider-Girl, and she made her official debut within those pages. Wanna know how she looks like? Well, next month's PREVIEWS highlights the new webgirl, swinging side by side with our friendly neighborhood wallcrawler, as drawn by talented artist J. Sctt Campbell! Check it out!

As seen in the preview in Newsarama, There she is. The new Spider-Girl... aka Arana! She now wears the costume that belonged to Arachne, aka Julia Carpenter/ Spider-Woman II. What happened to get the costume on the young girl is something you guys should find out by reading Amazing Spider-Man #637. Preparing to debut on her own solo adventures this year, the new Spider-Girl will start her own series this November! Watch out for it!
