The First title out was the new Justice League #1. It was for sale on the night of August 31- September 1 at Midtown Comics, the huge comic book store on Times Square, New York, which had a signing session with the titles creators Jim Lee and Geoff Johns!

Waiting, waiting, waiting! With all these people waiting in line for the first issue of the new DC universe to arrive at midnight...

... creators Jim Lee and Geoff Johns were glad they could help out a little, handing out free pizza to the crowds before going on to sign their comics inside the shop!

No, its not Halloween yet, but some of them were already in the mood to dress up! Jim Lee looks quite surprised while leaving his sketch on the covers of Justice League #1! Check out all photos by Ron Gejon on the Midtown facebook page.

Some of the other titles arriving this month you might want to get for your grandkids : Action comics #1 (published September 7). The original version from the 1940s recently sold for a million Dollars! Below: original artwork and final cover by Rags Morales for the very first new Action Comics. See anything different? Well, the man from Krypton lost his underpants! (Check out his cool new look from the Justice League Sketchbook section underneath.)

More titles to look forward to: the premier issue of a whole new Detective Comics (out now) and the very first issue of the new Superman series (published September 28th). DC had just released Detective Comics #881 and Superman #714 last August. The first issue of Detective Comics was released in March 1937 (the 27th issue would introduce us to Batman for the very first time in May 1939). The original premier issue of Superman was a spin-off of DCs popular Action Comics which had introduced us to the Kryptonian flying man. It marked the first time a superhero had its own series and dates back from June 1939.

The new Detective Comics series will start off with story and artwork by Tony Daniel, while the new Superman series will have artwork by one of my favorite DC artists George Perez!
