The Rocketeer: The Island #1

(W) Dave Stevens, John Layman (A) Jacob Edgar

The Rocketeer returns to save Amelia Earhart in a brand-new story by creator Dave Stevens!

The year is 1938, and Cliff Secord (A.K.A. the Rocketeer) is recruited to lead a search and rescue mission. The mission? Find Amelia Earhart! Considering a year has passed since the famous pilot went missing, the Rocketeer is hesitant at first — that is, until he learns the expedition is to the same island Betty ran off to with the scummy photographer Marco! The Rocketeer will have to uncover the secret of the century’s greatest mystery while trying to win back his girlfriend. But what else awaits him on the island?

Beloved writer John Layman (Chew, Titans) and artistic powerhouse Jacob Edgar (Plastic Man: No More, The Ones) team up to tell the wildest Rocketeer story ever, based on a never-published outline by Rocketeer creator Dave Stevens!

December is DC K.O. All Fight Month

Posted on by

DC turns December into All Fight Month! From December 3 to December 24, DC K.O. explodes into an all-out brawl for DC Universe domination as heroes square off against each other for a chance to hold a universe-altering power! DC’s All Fight Month fights will take place across tie-in issues and one-shot specials, so don’t miss all eight rounds in December by superstar talent!

Tying in with DC K.O. All Fight Month in December is DC K.O. Knightfight #2 by Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora on December 3 and Justice League Unlimited #14 by Mark Waid and Dan Mora on December 24.

In DC K.O. Knightfight #2, Bruce Wayne’s battle through a gauntlet of future Batmen is on! Each former Robin has shaped Gotham City into their own vision of justice, and if Bruce can make his way past Dick Grayson, he’ll face the darkest one yet. Will he survive the most violent aspects of his own legacy? Or will Batman’s greatest failure destroy him and the city he’s sworn to protect? It’s a literal battle for the cowl—and for the fate of the DC Universe—as the all-star creative team of Joshua Williamson and Dan Mora turns up the heat!

In Justice League Unlimited #14, as the time-displaced heroes fight for their lives against the towering might of the demonic Neron, Mr. Terrific descends into the cold vacuum of space! But this time it’s by his own design…can Michael Holt team with the rogue agent behind Justice League Red to purge all emotion and coldly calculate the fate of humanity? Grab the tissues, everybody—this issue’s about to break some hearts!
