On Wednesday, May 2, DC NATION #0, a 32-page comic book, will be available at comic book retailers at a cover price of $0.25 and free via digital download. DC NATION #0 spotlights events from three of DC’s top storytellers – Scott Snyder, Tom King and Brian Michael Bendis, all best-selling, celebrated authors.
With the unbelievable conclusion to Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s DARK NIGHTS: METAL paving the way for the JUSTICE LEAGUE: NO JUSTICE four-issue weekly series (with co-writers James Tynion IV, Joshua Williamson and artist Francis Manapul), fans will be clamoring for more information on what kind of wild, over the top roller-coaster ride Snyder and crew have planned next; artist Jorge Jiménez (SUPER SONS) joins him for a preview of just how big the Justice League’s next challenge will be when JUSTICE LEAGUE: NO JUSTICE begins May 9.
In a Batman story by Tom King and artist Clay Mann, The Joker gets word about the wedding between the Bat and the Cat, and he’s not happy. With the wedding story arc reaching its climax in BATMAN #50 on sale July 4, The Joker will be that one wedding guest most likely to speak now and not hold his peace at all.
From the return of the trademark red trunks to the debut of superstar writer Brian Michael Bendis in the ACTION COMICS #1000 comic book in April, the future for Superman couldn’t shine any brighter, but for fans, that’s just the tip of the super-iceberg. Bendis, along with legendary artist José Luis García-López, is also contributing an all-new story to DC NATION #0, a prelude to his highly anticipated MAN OF STEEL weekly miniseries debuting May 30.
Fans will also get a sneak preview of DC’s new promotional magazine DC NATION. The debut issue of this free, full-sized fan magazine will be the perfect place for fans to get the latest news on what’s happening at DC, arriving at comic book retailers on June 6 and available for digital download.
Brody Ross
Well that marriage lasted less time than I thought.
Grayson Flores
>Martian Manhunter I'm happy
Gavin Garcia
Right, so is anything interesting going to happen, or is this just more cookie cutter wastes of time?
Jonathan Rivera
so is DC finally ignoring the three joker things and letting king write a joker story?
Joseph Walker
oh for bendis they'll bring out lopez why don't those fuckers give him more work
Kayden Clark
>DC’s new promotional magazine DC NATION What is this going to be, DC's Shonen Jump or Televi-kun?
Aiden Brown
I hope Joker arrives in a wedding dress.
My guess is that Joker will or ALMOST kill Selina, which will make Bruce realize having an wife will just make everything more difficulty. And they break things off.
Henry Hernandez
>a prelude to his highly anticipated MAN OF STEEL weekly miniseries debuting May 30. >highly anticipated >was announced hours ago
Hudson Flores
probably like that dc rebirth magazine they did, just giving info on new comics with interviews
Isaiah Ross
>DC Nation
Confusingly, the animation block had a magazine, but only lasted two issues.
Cooper Howard
It's probably just the freebie shit from Previews. Marvel has had one for ages.
John Miller
>DC's Shonen Jump Fuck off, weeaboo cunt.
Adrian Phillips
I will be shocked if this doesn't happen.
It would open Bruce up to be DARKER and MORE EDGY THAN EVER and also open Selina up for another solo since she won't be tied to Bruce and people can't ask "where's Batman, her husband???".
Christopher Perez
That’s a sweet looking cover
Jayden Harris
What's up with all the events DC? Stop.
Daniel Jenkins
So it's a one off, not a continuous thing? Shame
Ryder Foster
but which one of the 3?
Gavin Fisher
I am scared that harley will show up to beat up joker and protect bruce and selina.
Gabriel Moore
user, that's the case with every Detective Comics Comics comic. Batman is the only thing anyone gives a shit about. People either want the focus to be on Batman, or that characters should change to be more like Batman.
Liam Nguyen
>Justice League is big 7 again
feels good man
Ryan White
Ya know, it'll be great if Harley and Ivy were the ones to beat up Joker, you know as a sign of what good friends of Selina they are
Gavin Turner
Don't make me develop punch-through-internet-superpowers just to smack your face.
Angel Hall
>Trunks on Supes hngggg they're here to stay
Jose Ortiz
Oh, sorry. It'll be great FOR ME. I forgot to add that
Hudson Murphy
>Jimenez with the trunks WATTBA
Mason Russell
>The Joker gets word about the wedding between the Bat and the Cat, and he’s not happy. With the wedding story arc reaching its climax in BATMAN #50 on sale July 4, The Joker will be that one wedding guest most likely to speak now and not hold his peace at all. HAHAHAHHA
Brayden King
Wait Batman is getting married on Independence Day?
Aiden Sanchez
probably like image+
Gavin Murphy
2018 we are forgotten
Bentley Ward
>DC’s top storytellers – Scott Snyder, Tom King and Brian Michael Bendis No way this is real. Fucking hell
Levi Cook
Tom King sucks. Why people like him so much?
William Sanchez
his batman has nice premises, but the execution is horrible
Jordan Long
>premises What premises?
Owen Edwards
Snyder is JL, King is Batman, and Bendis is Supes
Welcome the new Architects!
Christopher Adams
the ones he steals from old issues he finds on wikipedia.
Colton Clark
>selling the 0 issue of your new relaunch for only 0.25 cent so everyone get to know what up
This is genius
Gavin Turner
>take a massive hit on overhead so the gimmick issue sells a big number >LCS get to feel like they're dealing in penny stocks for the month >nobody cares about the stories and it doesn't bring in any new readers >long time readers like me say that was the last straw
I mean that last one is conjecture but I can't imagine why you would think that's smart.
Joseph Sullivan
>hey wanna know what superman, batman, and the justice league are up to? check it out for a quarter!
Eli Jackson
>With the wedding story arc reaching its climax in BATMAN #50 Fuck me, is it really gonna take that long? They're really stretching this out aren't they?
Asher Garcia
was that a legitimate response to the loss of a few hundred thousand dollars?
or were you just making the joke that that's absurd. can't really tell today shitposting is at an all time high.
Jason Watson
it's like 80/20 leaning towards shitposting.
it does seem smart to me to try and hook people with this issue to jump on King's Batman, the Justice League stuff, or Bendis Superman instead of a regular issue/new number 1
Jace Carter
Issue 50 out in July, dummy.
Nathaniel Davis
Batman proposed in issue #32. That's 18 issues of faffing about until the wedding. That kind of thing should never really be more than one arc.
Ryder Bailey
War of Jokes and Riddles happened right after the proposal
Aiden Cruz
Weddings typically take a long time to plan. Couple that with pretending to run a business, protect Gotham, training Damian, Steph, and Tim, and Cass, arguing with Kate, trying to save Clayface, and being part of the Justice League, on top of all the Metal shenanigans, and, well...
Jeremiah Rogers
I get that. That's cool and all.
But they're still sinking a few hundred thousand into that from "lost" (potential) money to printing costs. And this is so they can hopefully bring in new readers?
Like I said my last point was conjecture but I can't be the only one that has no intention of staying with most books after this all sets into motion.
you're right. on all of it.
WOJAR was trash with terrible art and still that doesn't matter. It was a flashback there was no reason to put it there and the story suffered by contextualizing it as batman admitting his worst defeat to catwoman.
especially when it ends with "silly autist I'm catwoman I'm an autist too. So 'yes'"
Michael Brown
Just because weddings take a long time to plan doesn't mean that stretching out the "engagement arc" to fill 3 trades makes for good storytelling. Plus, your justification doesn't even really make sense since I don't expect the next 10 issues to be about Bruce and Selina picking out napkins for the reception.
Dylan Fisher
12 were WOJAR
Camden Murphy
The actual wedding arc has been what, the Talia stuff and the Superfriends stuff?
Evan Cox
>From the return of the trademark red trunks
That's all I care about :3
Joshua Scott
This is truly the darkest timeline...
Brandon Baker
I'm not counting WOJAR. I'm being generous and starting from the second time he proposed after that arc.
Joseph Ramirez
>WOJAR was trash with terrible art and still that doesn't matter. It was a flashback there was no reason to put it there and the story suffered by contextualizing it as batman admitting his worst defeat to catwoman.
again, why does that matter? WOJAR had no reason to exist where it did. It hurt that arc to tie it to the proposal in any way.
would have been better to make it something he told clark after Reborn to make the connection that the past has in fact changed in the universe.
Lincoln Green
Are we ignoring that J'onn is back with the League?! I'm actually hype. Snyder writes a nice JL.
Joseph Martinez
bruce/selina wedding, a big war between the rogues, bruce reverse knightfalling bane
Austin Wood
Batman is suicidal
Brandon Campbell
>superman’s trunks returning for good why?? that’s so fucking dumb, his rebirth look was perfection
Xavier Foster
>In a Batman story by Tom King and artist Clay Mann, The Joker gets word about the wedding between the Bat and the Cat, and he’s not happy.

Why is Joker so gay?
