YEAR OF THE VILLAIN BRINGS BATTLE-DAMAGED LOGO COVERS TO DC IN AUGUST

21/05/2019

May 17, 2019

Burbank, CA - DC continues to show fans that it's good to be bad as the Year of the Villain rolls on this summer! Dark Gifts is the featured theme for August, as the vilest villains in the DC Universe take up Lex Luthor's offer to be the ultimate versions of themselves, destroying their arch-foes-DC's greatest heroes-in the process.

Fans will see immediate evidence of just how much trouble DC's heroes are in with a series of covers featuring battle-damaged versions of their logos. From Action Comics to Wonder Woman, these covers, combined with the distinctive Year of the Villain cover banner, provide a significant visual cue to the epic struggles within each issue, struggles that the heroes may not be able to overcome. As the Year of the Villain continues to escalate throughout September and beyond, the cover logos will sustain increased damage, leading to a line-wide villain takeover in November. Fans should be sure to check out the following titles when they hit shelves in August:

Action Comics #1014 - Cover by Brandon Peterson (on sale August 28)

Aquaman #51 - Cover by Robson Rocha and Jason Paz (on sale August 21)

Wonder Woman #76 - Cover by Jesus Merino (on sale August 14)

Continuing from July, August will also feature more of the card stock variant covers. These variants are priced at one dollar more than their battle-damaged standard counterparts, and feature artwork by some of comics' top cover artists, including Stanley Artgerm Lau, Joshua Middleton, Gabriele Dell'Otto, Yasmine Putri and others.

Make sure to check your local comic book shop or online retailer for DC's Year of the Villain #1. This 25-cent, 32-page one-shot features preludes and previews to some of the major story arcs that make up Year of the Villain, with stories by Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV ( Justice League ), Brian Michael Bendis and Alex Maleev ( Event Leviathan ), plus details on Snyder's The Batman Who Laughs, Tom King's City of Bane story arc in Batman and the recently announced Batman/Superman by Joshua Williamson and David Marquez.
