DC COMICS ROUNDUP

DC Comics has announced that Cary Nord has created a variant cover for Wonder Woman #28.

The issue -- due in stores on Jan. 28 -- is both a "Faces of Evil" story and part 3 of "Rise of the Olympian." In the story, the Olympians are on Earth, and they're making their presence felt across the world. The JLA joins forces with Wonder Woman to stop Genocide, but even their combined might isn't enough. Plus, the mysterious power behind The Society is revealed.

The issue is written by Gail Simone, with art by Aaron Lopresti and Matt Ryan and a cover by Lopresti, which is shown to the right.
