DC COMICS' BANE: CONQUEST
DC Comics has announced a May 3 launch for Bane: Conquest, a 12-issue series from the creators of the character, Chuck Dixon and Graham Nolan.
Here's how DC describes the story:
"Bane is seeking to create a global criminal empire with the help of his original gang, Bird, Trogg, and Zombie. The Man Who Broke The Bat moves beyond Gotham to find new cities to conquer and new enemies to crush. He won't stop until he stands at the top of the world of crime! For Bane, it’s all about conquest."
"It’s very exciting to return with Chuck to a character we so love and are so identified with," Nolan said. "DC has allowed us to return him to his roots, bring back old friends and create new characters that will rock Bane and Batman's world. Dixon, Nolan, Bane...what's not to love?! This is, without a doubt, going to be the ultimate Bane adventure!”
"Always happy to be re-united with Graham and this is an especially heady experience returning to our most significant contribution to the Batman mythos," Dixon said. "The best aspect of this project is that it's not a cameo or nostalgia tour for Graham and I. It's more like we're back after all this time to work on a truly epic story about Bane and we haven't lost a step."
BRIEFLY
SECRET EMPIRE PRELUDE: Marvel Comics has announced an April 26 release for Secret Empire Prelude trade paperback. The book will collect Captain America (2012) #21 and #25; material from Captain America: Sam Wilson #7-8; Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Alpha; Avengers Standoff: Assault on Pleasant Hill Omega; and Captain America: Steve Rogers #1-2.
ETERNAL WARRIOR: Valiant Entertainment has announced a May 10 release for Eternal Warrior: Awakening #1, from writer Robert Venditti and artist Renato Guedes, the second of four special issues honoring the most beloved Valiant tales ever.
"I think there's a tendency to interpret Gilad as very dark and grim, since he's been a warrior for, well, eternity. It's right there in the title. But I see him as an eternal optimist," Venditti said. "He believes humanity is far more good than bad, and that the battle of good versus evil will be won one day. Otherwise, what makes him get out of bed and sacrifice so much to keep going? Really, I look at the Eternal Warrior, and beneath all the battles and bloodshed, I see an unending wellspring of hope."
The special features covers by Clayton Crain, Robert Gill, Marc Laming and Jeffrey Veregge.
