At the time of writing summer has only just arrived, but we're already looking ahead to the end of the season with DC's August solicitations - and, yes, variant covers are back on these pages after a few months' absense, so get ready to dig through hundreds of amazing images from your favorite artists.
The month is once again dominated by Absolute Power - the game-changing event that sees Amanda Waller, Braniac, and Failsafe team up to rid the world of superheroes once and for all. Absolute Power #2, the Task Force VII spin-off, and the Waller Origins series are all taking headline spots, but the effects of the event will also be felt in the monthly Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman comics.
But that's not all that's on offer. As Outsiders continues to connect the mainstream DC universe with the much-loved Planetary, another Wildstorm project is also making a comeback with Wonder Woman writer Tom King scripting a new series based on Stormwatch's Jenny Sparks. DC are also looking back to one of the greatest Green Lantern storie of all time with a Zero Hour 30th anniversary special, and launching another new Elseworlds title in DC vs. Vampires: World War V. Plus, fans of Harley Quinn, Catwoman and Poison Ivy won't want to miss the launch of the first new Gotham City Sirens in over a decade! It's another packed month, then... Until next time, happy reading.

Kori Anders’s summer job at a ritzy Santa Monica beach club is fun, but she doesn’t care about keeping up with the current trends, and she’s not interested in rushing around to all the parties. She’d rather explore her inexplicable draw to the stars or hang out with her new friend, Victor Stone.
Her sister, Kira, on the other hand, is the most popular girl around. With the hottest clothes, an even hotter boyfriend (the Tate Fairweather), and a take-no-prisoners attitude, she’s Kori’s opposite in every way. Their summer heats up when Tate’s uncle asks the girls to participate in an EDS study his pharmaceutical company is running. During treatment, Kori develops some strange powers she never had before…and she might not be the only one.
Can Kori persuade her sister to trust her before it’s too late? And when a carload of teens with their own powers comes looking for her to warn her about a creepy stalker, she’ll learn that trust is a two-way street!

In 1986, more than 40 years after debuting in All-Star Comics #8, Wonder Woman was reshaped by the legendary George Pérez! She was met with such acclaim that Pérez’s original commitment of six months was extended, and extended, until almost five years had passed. Together with co-writer Len Wein and inker Bruce Patterson, Pérez spearheaded Wonder Woman’s adventures to an unprecedented level of success. This first volume collects Wonder Woman #1-14.
