COMICS: The Biggest Reveals & SPOILERS From Today's Issues
If you're planning on picking up any comics today you might want to skip this, but if you're a SPOILER fan then click to see what's going down in the pages of DC's Justice League & Wonder Woman, Marvel's Axis & more.
There are a couple of major SPOILERS here, so just one final warning before reading any further. Okay? First up we have the return of Donna Troy. This character -- originally created as a younger version of Wonder Woman -- has been referenced in DC's New 52 universe, but hasn't actually shown up until now. Here she is making a dramatically naked entrance on the final page of today's issue of Wonder Woman.
Ever wondered where The Endless came from? We've had hints about their origins in the pages of Neil Gaiman's original Sandman run all those years ago, but now it's pretty much spelled out in Sandman: Overture #4. The gentleman below eating the apple is undoubtedly a personification of Adam, the first man. I suppose that makes sense...kinda.
Next up we have the death of a major Marvel character. Because Axis has made certain villains behave heroically and certain heroes behave like complete bastards, Cletus Kasady (aka the serial killing symbiote Carnage) gave his life for the greater good. All he asked in return for such a noble sacrifice was a pretty hilarious sounding memorial. Think Spidey will be true to his word?
And finally we have what might just be Geoff Johns' less fatale solution to Superman snapping Zod's neck at the end of Man Of Steel. In today's Justice League, Amazo gains Supes' optic blasts and goes on a rampage. Kal El is forced to take him down, but instead of snapping his neck, he simply clamps an invulnerable hand over Amazo's eyes. This could be coincidental of course, but it still raises an interesting debate..again! Is this all Henry Cavill's Superman had to do to stop Zod in the movie? Or was the whole point that the villain was never going to stop no matter what Clark did to try to apprehend him? Thanks to Bleeding Cool for the scans.
