Dial H #1 brings back an old favorite of mine from the Silver age, Dial H for Hero. Since dial up phones don’t exist anymore writer China Mieville offers a unique twist on the original storyline.
This time around an overweight loser finds a mysterious dial in an alleyway where he is mugged. Stumbling into an old phone booth he dials the police only to be transformed into a strange being that systematically takes out the muggers. Later he transform once again. A trick of fate? Not likely, there’s far more to his transformation that he knows as he is soon to find out.
World’s Finest #1 finds Power Girl and Huntress teaming up for a new challenge. As the story progresses readers learn about their transportation from their parallel Earth five years ago to the new reality on another Earth. The series ties in what happened to them when the DC Universe was changed due to the Flash’s action in Flashpoint-this launching the New 52. It's a great story and art by Paul Levitz, George Perez and Kevin MaGuire.
Earth 2 #1 expands of the World’s Finest storyline by informing readers of just how the two parallel Earths are intertwined in a story starring the Justice League and specifically Batman and how Power Girl and the Huntress came to be in this universe.
Smallville #1 continues the acclaimed TV series storyline with its Season 11 premise. Favorite TV characters return in this very special issue where Clark Kent finally dons the Superman attire. Lex Luthor returns along with an unexpected individual.
All of the new titles are well worth checking out and make for some entertaining reads.
