What can the world do when even the basic rules of physics can be broken at a moment’s notice?

COLLIDER #1
It started small: temporary gravity failures, time reversal loops, entropy reversals…

With much fanfare a new government agency was formed with a mandate “to prevent and protect.” Its official title: The Federal Bureau of Physics.

Humans, if nothing else, adapt to the changing parameters of their existence. What was extraordinary soon became ordinary, a part of people’s daily lives. They move on and do what people have always done: survive.

But even that new status quo is now under threat. Things are getting worse, and it falls to Special Agent Adam Hardy and his FBP team to figure out what’s going on, before it’s too late…

The Spirit, created by Will Eisner, and The Rocketeer, created by Dave Stevens, are two of the most beloved characters in the history of comics.

Now, these two great pulp-inspired heroes meet for the very first time!

THE ROCKETEER / THE SPIRIT: PULP FRICTION #1
A Central City Councilman disappears and is found dead in Los Angeles. Commissioner Dolan, along with Denny Colt (AKA The Spirit) and his daughter Ellen in tow, treks out to the City of Angels to investigate.

Meanwhile, Cliff Secord (The Rocketeer) consoles his sweetheart Betty… who is traumatized after accidentally discovering the politician’s body!

ALSO, this issue has a variant cover by the one and only Darywn Cooke! It’s a Rocketeer cover that connects to Darwyn’s Spirit cover for #2, creating one great piece!

Holy flashback, Batman! Get out your cowl, eyebrow pencil and shark repellent spray. It’s that Bat-time, but the Bat-channel is now a Bat-comic!

BATMAN 66 #1
Put on your go-go boots and get ready to “Batusi” back to the Swingin’ 60s as DC Comics reimagines the classic Batman TV series in comics form for the first time!

These all-new stories portray The Caped Crusader, The Boy Wonder and their fiendish rogues gallery just the way viewers remember them.

In this first adventure, The Riddler’s out to steal some valuable artwork from under the noses of Gotham’s police. But Batman gets help from an unlikely source: a certain femme fatale dressed in feline finery!

Written by Jeff Parker. Art by Jonathan Case. Cover by Mike Allred.

This Earth ain’t big enough for the three of them.

JUSTICE LEAGUE #22
TRINITY WAR, the action-mystery event of the summer, begins with a full-length epic adventure!

The death of a hero ignites a violent war among the Justice Leagues! It’s League vs. League vs. League as an impending darkness approaches the DC Universe. But the truth behind it all will lead to an evil that threatens every hero on the planet.

And what does the Secret Society of Super-Villains have to with this? Everything.

The issue also contains the first appearance of The New 52 Doctor Light!

But in The New 52, Doctor Light is not the same character you may recall from his previous incarnations. This time around, he’s a virtuous family man who is both a good husband and father.

But as Doctor Light becomes more and more involved with the Justice League of America, he becomes increasingly conflicted about the team’s motives. After all, if each member of the JLA was chosen to take out a specific member of the Justice League, what’s Doctor Light’s role meant to be?

Written by Geoff Johns with art by Ivan Reis and Joe Prado, TRINITY WAR begins in this full-length epic!
