The DC New 52 debut of Secret Six hits the first week of December, headlining a list of even more great titles titles coming this winter from DC Comics!
Gail Simone’s latest take on the team promises to leave fans asking “What is the Secret?” as the six strangers find themselves meeting under mysterious circumstances.
While Secret Six launches, Mike Carey’s Vertigo title Unwritten comes to an end in December with The Unwritten: Apocalypse #12. The book gets a giant-sized 40 page issue for its send-off Dec. 17.
Over in the pages of Batman Eternal, #35 promises a jumping-on point for new readers as it teases that Gotham City’s police have done the impossible and beaten Batman. Meanwhile, Grant Morrison’s Multiversity continues as Captain Marvel makes a visit to Thunderworld in The Multiversity: Thunderworld #1, with art by Batgirl cover artist Cameron Stewart.
