Babos Commentary: So glad to see some Multiversity fallout. With DC Rebirth firmly established, its time to let the multiverse shine.

      EARTH 2: SOCIETY #20

      Written by DAN ABNETT
      Art and cover by BRUNO REDONDO and JUAN ALBARRAN

      On the streets of New Metropolis, the Wonders battle the army of Sandmen sent to destroy them. But on this reborn world, no one recognizes the heroes, and their presence sends the citizens into a panic. Behind the scenes, the identity of the world-ruling Director is revealed. And he has a secret weapon that’s equally shocking.

      On sale JANUARY 11 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T

Babos Commentary: This ongoing series continues to chug on despite its ambiguous ties to DC Rebirth. However, its part of DC’s broader multiverse and, I think, sets up a solid model for similar type books called “Earth 5”, etc.

3. Green Lanterns #14

Babos Commentary: Green Lanterns #14 full spoilers in broader article here.

2. Titans #7

      TITANS #7

      Written by DAN ABNETT
      Art and cover by guest artist LEE WEEKS
      Variant cover by NICK BRADSHAW

      Retailers: This issue will ship with two covers. Please see the order form for details.

      “Home Sweet Home”! A new threat brings Wally West face to face with the Man of Steel, and the two recognize each other as kindred souls from another world. Plus, the Titans set up their new Tower in New York City!

      On sale JANUARY 11 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T

Babos Commentary: Curious. Superman is clearly from the pre-Flashpoint DC universe. He is an older, married and dad Superman. Wally West was trapped and freed during DC Universe Rebirth #1, but I always assumed he was merging with a counterpart in the New 52 as part of DC Rebirth. I’m VERY intrigued by this upcoming issue.

1. Superwoman #6

      SUPERWOMAN #6

      Written by PHIL JIMENEZ
      Art by PHIL JIMENEZ and TREVOR SCOTT
      Cover by IVAN REIS and TREVOR SCOTT
      Variant cover by DREW JOHNSON

      Retailers: This issue will ship with two covers. Please see the order form for details.

      “WHO KILLED SUPERWOMAN?” part six! In this penultimate chapter, Lana Lang prepares to grapple with the insane, god-like Lena Luthor as her army of allies launches their assault on the Bizaress swarm! Will the combined might of Steel, Natasha, Maggie Sawyer and the MSCU, Atomic Skull and Lex Luthor be enough to win the day? Plus, the secret origin of Lena Luthor is revealed!

      On sale JANUARY 11 • 32 pg, FC, $2.99 US • RATED T

Babos Commentary: Despite being a monthly not twice monthly ongoing series, Superwoman might just be the best DC Rebirth title on stands. Lana Lang finally gets her due and the book feels like an ensemble book in a good way a la Batman’s Detective Comics and Superman’s Action Comics of the DC Rebirth era. If you want F-U-N this is the series for you.
