We've been to the past and now DC is bringing us to the future. Five years into the future to be exact.
The future begins with May's FCBD entitled The New 52: Futures End # 0 which will be drawn by Ethan Van Sciver with the weekly writers Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Brian Azzarello and Dan Jurgens. Artist involved in this weekly project Jesus Merino, Aaron Lopresti. Here's the cover for # 0 done by the amazing Ryan Sook

Seriously, take a good look at the cover and you'll see that it's fucked up thanks to the details. Somebody just lobotomized Superman and took out massive chunks of his body replaced with metal. Nobody even bothered to dress The Flash up properly. Also its going to be Brother Eye versus Batman Beyond if we're going to read through the cover's placement and design. After the horrible output of Villain's Month, I'm hoping DC Comics does good with this.
Bleeding Cool breaks a story of how DC Comics plans to release a new 'future' book featuring the Justice League 3000.
The popculture rumor site is also insinuating that the Flash-like character with the red hair is actually the long missing Wally West and that this is the Donna TroyWonder Woman we're actually seeing.
Meanwhile, here's the hi-res versions from CBR of the concept art for Justice League 3000 by Keith Giffen, Kevin Maguire and JM DeMatteis.
Parting shot: You know, it still doesn't make sense why legacy characters like Wally and Donna don't appear in the New 52 continuity. It's sad but this new Justice League project sure fills out that void while letting DC be coy about the status of the 'real' Wally, Donna and hell even Stephanie Brown.
Looks like we'll finally have a nice slugfest as DC Comics pits their marquee characters, The Justice League against He-man and the rest of his heroic comrades aka the Masters of the Universe in DC Universe vs Masters of the Universe # 1 by Keith Giffen and my friend Dexter Soy.
It was inevitable that at some point, these two epic worlds would collide. The heroes of the DC Universe will be facing off against He-Man and the Masters of the Universe in an exciting and all-new six-issue miniseries from writer Keith Giffen and artist Dexter Soy! After narrowly escaping his last battle with He-Man, Skeletor has fled to the most unexpected realm to recover: EARTH! Once there, he sets a plan in motion to siphon off Earth’s core magic. Forging an unlikely hunting party, He-Man and company go in search of Skeletor. Finding themselves at odds with the heroes of the DC Universe, He-Man and the Masters of the Universe must find a way to stop Skeletor and his mysterious new master! And how will the Masters of the Universe respond to finding themselves within the DC Universe? “Culture shock lives! Actually, they've come to stop Skeletor from doing to the DCU what he's always wanted to do to Eternia,” Giffen teased. “By the way... what makes you think Skeletor came to the DCU voluntarily?” Below are the Ed Benes’ covers for the debut issue, one featuring the heroes of the DC Universe, and the other featuring the Masters of the Universe! DC UNIVERSE VS. THE MASTERS OF THE UNIVERSE #1 arrives in stores on August 28.
Looks like we won't be seeing She-Ra for a good while especially since her status has changed from being one of the good guys to being her twin brother Adam's main adversary in DC Comics' He-Man and the Masters of the Universe # 1.
In the new book written by Keith Giffen with art by Pop Mhan we find out that She-Ra has gone rogue and now sticks to calling herself Despara (which is kinda neat). Here's what she looks like now in full battle armor.
