DC Comics has released a first-look preview of DC All In Special #1 today, which features unlettered interior art from both Joshua Williamson and Daniel Sampere’s story and Scott Snyder and Wes Craig’s story.
The flipbook style story follows DC’s summer event Absolute Power, and sets a bold new direction for the DC Universe. Overcoming the Trinity of Evil, the Super Heroes of the DCU usher in a new era of unity (including a new and expanded version of the Justice League) and protect humanity from all threats. And the first threat to this new oath of protection couldn’t be bigger, because Darkseid returns!
Superman gathers the other Super Heroes of Earth to hold the line against a very different version of the Lord of Apokolips, raising defenses and preparing for a new war, a war destined to send shock waves across every series in the DC Universe, shaking reality to its core.
But an even bigger threat looms, for there is another universe on the rise: the Absolute Universe. This universe brings with it different versions of DC’s iconic Super Heroes, heroes coming of age with fewer advantages compared to their counterparts, but retaining the same heroic natures that have inspired fans for decades. But as their world hurtles to a terrible destiny, can these new versions of Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and others protect the light that shines within them?
This gateway into a new status quo for the DC Universe comes courtesy of several of the best storytellers in the comics – writers Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson, and artists Wes Craig, Mike Spicer, Daniel Sampere and Alejandro Sánchez. The DC All In Special can be read in either order, and the two halves are united by a sequence drawn by Dan Mora.
The DC All In Special features a main cover by Daniel Sampere and Alejandro Sánchez, plus variant covers by Rafa Sandoval and Matt Herms, Wes Craig and Mike Spicer, and John Giang. The book also features a foil variant of the main cover by Sampere and Sánchez, and a foil variant cover featuring the new DC logo revealed at San Diego Comic Con.
