Coming to comic book stores around the country on May 5, Free Comic Book Day is right around the corner - and now we've got a first look at the until-now top secret cover to the DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 FCBD EDITION, illustrated by legendary artist and DC Entertainment Co-Publisher Jim Lee. This cover will be featured on all customized editions and standard copies alike.

In addition to the cover, Lee will also be illustrating five pages for the comic book's interior, including a four-page JUSTICE LEAGUE gatefold to accompany a brand new story by New York Times bestselling writer and DC Entertainment Chief Creative Officer Geoff Johns.

Lee also provided custom art for the Free Comic Book Day t-shirt, featuring his redesign of the JUSTICE LEAGUE for DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 in an homage to a classic piece by José Luis García-López.

Also debuting the first week in May is JUSTICE LEAGUE VOLUME ONE: ORIGIN, the hardcover volume collecting the first story arc of the flagship series for DC COMICS-THE NEW 52. Written by Johns and illustrated by Lee, the story looks at the dawn of the age of superheroes, setting the tone for the historic company initiative.

Wow, Bats doesn't have the bladed Gauntlets anymore? Hmmm, Cool art, Lee is one of the aspiring rtists that made me get into graphic design, but beyond that, pass.

Jim Lee's art - the only good thing about the shitfest that was All Star Batman and Robin the Boy Wonder

Yes, although the non mainstream titles are probably the best and aren't being promoted right.

Jim Lee's been my favorite artist ever since his first Unc. X-Men work, but he needs to do two things:

1. Get rid of the costume seams.

2. Give WW her blue panties and red boots back. The black just doesn't work.

Bring back WW's pants
And give Supes the Earth 2 costume that looks kick ass

Been enjoying Johns' run on Justice League. It has some hit and miss dialogue from time to time, but otherwise it's excellent. Especially issues 1, 2 and 6.

Wow Superman's anatomy is messed up, what a torso
captainrogers
captainrogers - 3/8/2012, 8:50 AM
My only REALLY BIG issue with this piece is That WW's right forearm(and I guess the more i look at it her left as well)placement is HUGELY off.
She'd have to have EXTREMEly long upper arms for them to connect.
But its a decent Jim LEE piece.

Nice cover actually. I'm looking forward to this issue, especially because it's in modern day?

This is my biggest gripe about the New 52 is that when is everything happening? Batman seems to be about the same time as Action Comics, yet the GL books, WW, Superman, Batman TDK, Aquaman, Supergirl, Batgirl, etc. seem to all be happening in modern day.

They need to settle all their books in one time zone, it's way too confusing as it is now. :(

@Maia:
I love when someone criticize JimLee´s art, buddy if you can do better please bedazzled us with your gift!!! You must be awesome!!!

@Knigth3000
Exactly Jim Lee is why I like the new 52!!!

@Flashito yeah, that's a great argument "if you can't do better you can't criticize it". *rolls eyes*

Pandora is the way out of this cluster[frick] DCnU. Hope this Heroes Reborn Redux is over soon...

@Maia:

You just keep scribbling with those crayons while denigrating the work of your betters. Yep. That should work out well. And remember; in order to be OVER-rated, you first have to be rated. As I don't see either Marvel or DC presenting your art.......there you go.

BATMAN WITH A ARMOR-ISH SUIT I CAN UNDERSTAND BUT SUPERMAN...I DUNNO IT'S NOT ARMOR BUT IT JUST LOOKS WEIRD WITH A COLLAR, DOES HE GET COLD FLYING SO HIGH?
rbfn04
rbfn04 - 3/8/2012, 10:03 AM
GUN shut up, Lee designed it and he can do no wrong!!!!!! High collar, seams everywhere, weird pointy sleeve thingie with s emblem shape, emblem shapes everywhere, that's great designing!! Plus, armor, of course Superman would wear armor. Lee said he should, so he should!!!
breakUbatman
breakUbatman - 3/8/2012, 10:12 AM
That "like to see you do better" argument is lame, so I need to be able to program in order to want an edit button? Only good film makers can judge Ghost rider SOV?

So what qualifications do you have to have to praise something?
rbfn04
rbfn04 - 3/8/2012, 10:21 AM
@breakUbatman and you better be able to sing better than Kesha too... OK, that was a bad example...
LordHuck
LordHuck - 3/8/2012, 10:33 AM
That's the best Superman and Batman have ever looked. Wonder Woman looks good too but needs pants.

And yeah Lee has never been one to allow himself to be constrained by actual human anatomy when it comes to a character striking a pose.

LordHuck - 3/8/2012, 10:35 AM
When you trade punches with a guy like Darksied then you might want to be wearing highly advanced super Kyptonian body armor too.

UGH. Pandora is going to use a hand-gun? **YAWN** I was hoping with the hype they were trying to build up that she'd have more interesting elements than THAT. If you are all mystical, powerful and god-like, why would you need a gun?
