DC Comics confirms "DC Villain Month" and "Forever Evil" this September

The Villains' Journey is real... And it's happening this September.

Following the end of Trinity War come August, DC Comics co-publishers Dan Didio and Jim Lee have announced via an interview with Buzzfeed what's to come this September and their next major crossover event - That being "DC Villain Month" and "Forever Evil" respectively.

To make a long story short, the villains will be getting their time to shine throughout the month and through the vast multitude of titles that make up DC Comics "New 52" universe. Like the "Darkseid #1" issue seen above that lapses over Justice League via an exclusive ".1" issue, other books will be following a similar format, and will highlight the villain featured in the cover. Everything will compliment the release of a new miniseries that'll start the focus on evil having it's day, and that's "Forever Evil #1".

For more sneak peeks on the covers and details on the interview, visit the source post at Buzzfeed and DC Comics official website.

Ben Affleck in talks with WB to helm "Justice League"

Much news has been going around for the superhero movie industry. After Marvel and Disney confirmed that Joss Whedon would be returning to direct the Avengers sequel and help work on the untitled TV series set in the Marvel Cinematic Universe (as well as signing an exclusive deal that keeps him with the studio until 2015), Warner Bros. is stepping up their game by approaching a known director and actor to helm their much awaited Justice League film. That man is none other than The Town director Ben Affleck, who himself played a superhero in the form of 20th Century Fox's 2003 film adaptation of the Marvel Comics superhero Daredevil. The studio has already hired Will Beall to write the script, and now talks are to bring the Academy Award and Golden Globe winner on board to take on DC's finest team of superheroes.

DC The New 52 "0" Month confirmed

As part of the celebration and to introduce new titles into the fold, the publisher has officially announced the recently rumored "0" Month, wherein all DC Comics The New 52 issues will be numbered at zero starting this September (much like the 90's Zero Hour era). All titles, like Justice League, Batman, Batman Inc., Superman, and Wonder Woman will be given a #0 issue that month, and each will either tell an origin story or back-up tale that fills the gaps between running storylines.

Four new titles will also be debuting at #0 that month, and they are Talon, Sword Of Sorcery, The Phantom Stranger, and Team Seven! Be sure to check out more info via the source post at DC The Source, and get the scoop there!

DC Comics to release #0 issues for New 52 Anniversary

Come September, DC Comics will be celebrating one year of it's launch of The New 52 Universe, which practically rebooted its entire comic book universe and gave a fresh new take to most of its character roster. To commemorate the occasion, the publisher will be releasing a full wave of #0 books of each of their titles, with adventures that precede and take place before the actual events that occur in the #1 issues. Regular numbering for all books will cease that month, and will resume once more with #13 on October. As these books will detail origin stories and flashbacks, it sounds very reminiscent of DC's "Zero Hour" event back in the 90's, which bore a similar marketing strategy that aimed to attract old and new readers into the fold. Whether or not this plays into current events, including the impending 2013 event "Trinity War", remains to be seen. For more on the story, visit the source post at Bleeding Cool and Comic Book Movie.


Expect the New "Zero Hour" 52 to hit all issues of DC Comics in September!
