The extra-sized flipbook is written by Joshua Williamson and Scott Snyderwith art by Daniel Sampere on the “Alpha” side of the issue, Wes Craig on the “Omega” side, and a spread by Dan Mora tying the two together in the middle. Today DC released a preview for both halves of the DC All In Specialwhich finds the Justice League rebuilding and Darkseid on a mysterious quest.
Here’s how D.C. describe DC All In Special #1:
THE NEXT EPIC CHAPTER OF DC HISTORY BEGINS HERE…PRESENTED AS A STARLING, SYMMETRICAL FLIPBOOK! DON’T MISS IT! Following the events of DC’s blockbuster storyline Absolute Power, the heroes of the core DC Universe have fought against the deep divisions in the world around them to usher in a new era of unity. And it’s just in time, too–because Darkseid has returned. Superman must gather every hero on Earth to hold the line against a very different version of the Lord of Apokolips, as they raise our cosmic defenses and prepare for war…and when the first blows land, the shock waves will ripple into every series in the DCU and shake the nature of their reality to its core! But little do they know…the greater threat is yet to come. For there is another Earth: the Absolute Universe. Here, DC’s biggest icons are coming of age with fewer advantages and facing greater opposition than ever before…while miraculously retaining the immutable heroism that has inspired fans for decades. But can they really protect the light that shines within them when the world in which they live is hurting toward a terrible destiny?
The new one-shot was first teased in a video announcement from Williamson and Snyder back in July. The issue serves as the launching point for the new Absolute Universe, which will see top-tier creative teams like Snyder and Nick Dragotta, Kelly Thompson and Hayden Shermanand Jason Aaron and Rafael Sandoval introduces alternate versions of Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman, respectively, and among others.
Check out the preview for both sides of the DC All In Special #1 below. The flipbook issue is due out in stores and digitally next Wednesday, October 2nd.
