FIRST LOOK: RED MENACE #1

Paul DiMeo and Adam Brody, with art by Jerry Ordway and Al Vey and a cover by Jerry Ordway.
Here's how DC describes the book:
"Red Menace is a story of heroes and the corrupt leaders they must take a stand against! Los Angeles, 1953: Home to bent cops, smooth criminals, and curvaceous starlets; where the glamour and wealth of Hollywood and Beverly Hills collide with the crime and grit of Chinatown. Amidst this startling contrast, American ideals are under siege by Joseph McCarthy and the H.U.A.C. trials, rooting out communist threats where ever they may lie -- even in the ranks of the super heroic! Can there be any doubt about the loyalties of L.A.'s greatest and most patriotic hero, the Eagle? America is about to find out the hard way!"
Red Menace #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

FIRST LOOK: CROSSING MIDNIGHT #1
Crossing Midnight #1 will arrive in stores on Nov. 29 from DC Comics. The issue is written by Mike Carey, with art by Jim Fern and Rob Hunter and a cover by J.H. Williams III.
Here's how DC describes the issue:
"In modern-day Japan, Kai and his twin sister Toshi are born on opposite sides of midnight. But that casual line in time will have disastrous effects on their lives: Their friends will go missing; commonplace knives will hide deadly secrets; and Kai and Toshi will have to save themselves and their entire family from their own horrible destinies.
"Set in contemporary Nagasaki, Crossing Midnight taps into Japanese and Korean horror to mix the mythology of The Sandman with the fantasy of films like Hayao Miyazaki's Princess Mononoke and Spirited Away. Together, Mike Carey and Jim Fern come up with flights of fantasy tethered to a reality where children are stolen, innocence corrupted, and where two teenagers will have to stare down bizarre beings capable of very visceral terrors."
Crossing Midnight #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
