DC's Who's Who Returns With New Golden Age
Entries for Aquaman, Red Lantern and More.
_________________________________________________
DC Comics has released a brand-new Who's Who
focusing on the thirteen Golden Age characters
previously teased at the end of Flashpoint Beyond #6.
The Who's Who focuses on the thirteen characters
Rip Hunter says have been "pulled back into history"
and that time is "rebuilding around them" at the end
of Flashpoint Beyond #6 ( writers Geoff Johns,
Tim Sheridan and Jeremy Adams, artists Xermánico,
Mikel JanÃn and Gary Frank, colorists Romulo Fajardo Jr.,
Jordie Bellaire and Brad Anderson and letterer Rob Leigh).
These characters include the Golden Age Aquaman,
Quiz Kid, Legionnaire, the Harlequin's Son, Judy Garrick,
Betsy Ross, Molly Pitcher, Ladybug, Salem the Witch Girl,
Cherry Bomb, John Henry Jr. and the Golden Age Red Lantern.
"Now, with the release of The New Golden Age from writer
Geoff Johns, new Who’s Who entries for characters like
Cherry Bomb, Ladybug, Quiz Kid, and more, have been
created with artwork by Jerry Ordway, John Kalisz, Todd Nauck,
Matt Herms, Brandon Peterson and Scott Kolins," DC said of
the Who's Who. "Each new entry introduces, or reintroduces,
characters from DC’s library and details their personal data,
story history and powers & weapons for fans."
"The DC Universe should always be expanding with new
characters and stories and worlds, no matter what era
you’re visiting. Whether it’s the 1940’s or the 31st Century,"
said Johns. "The Who’s Who entries we’re including in
The New Golden Age #1 are deeper looks at the origins
of these new heroes and villains, and the mysteries they
each hold within them. From the most prominent heroes
of the Golden Age like Alan Scott, to the obscure like Red Bee,
to the adventures of Justice Society Dark, we’re setting the
stage for a new look at DC’s past, present and future.
Hopefully people will have as much fun with it as we are."
The New Golden Age #1 1 is a new one-shot released
on Nov. 8 by DC. The synopsis reads, "From the
Justice Society of America to the Legion of Super-Heroes,
The New Golden Age will unlock DC’s epic and
secret-ridden history of heroism, launching a new group
of titles set firmly in the DC Universe. From the 1940s
to the 3040s, heroes take on the great evils of their time.
But in the aftermath of Flashpoint Beyond, those heroes
and villains will have their lives turned upside down.
DC’s future…and its past…will never be the same again.
But how are Mime and Marionette connected to this?
Why are Rip Hunter and the Time Masters the most
unlikable heroes in the DC Universe?
And who or what is…Nostalgia? Don’t miss the start
of the strangest mystery to have ever plagued the DC Universe."
