DC COMICS FIRST LOOKS
FIRST LOOK: THE PROGRAMME #1
The Programme #1 will arrive in stores on July 18 from DC Comics. The issue is written by Peter Milligan, with art and cover by C.P. Smith.
Here's how DC describes the issue:
"In 1991, the Cold War ended without the two primary players ever facing each other in direct conflict. The vast arsenals of democracy and communism were put on ice, and the world moved toward a new millennium. While the U.S.S.R. disintegrated, the United States rose to unchallenged dominance...but now a long-forgotten Soviet weapon is awakened on one of America's many battlegrounds, threatening the global balance of power. Conventional warfare is suddenly outdated: the new weapons of mass destruction wield super-powers.
"Does America have an answer to...The Programme?"
The Programme #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.

FIRST LOOK: FAKER #1
Faker #1 will arrive in stores on July 5 from DC Comics. The issue is written by Mike Carey, with art and cover by Jock.
Here's how DC describes the book:
"In the numbing cold of a Minnesota winter, Jessie Kidby and her freshman friends kick off their second semester with a wild party. But in the aftermath of the big blow-out, things start to go horribly wrong for all of them. Jessie is troubled by nasty memories she's been suppressing for years, while her best friend Nick Philo has become an un-person: Nobody outside their tight-knit little clique can remember seeing him before, and his records have been erased from the college's computers. At first, it doesn't seem like a big deal, but it becomes increasingly obvious that one of them is not what he appears to be.
"Chock full of ruthless characters with hidden agendas, Faker takes place during freshman year in college; the ultimate time of reinvention, where, if youčre up for it, you can lie, cheat and fake your way through almost anything."
Faker #1 will be 32 pages and will cost $2.99.
