DC Teases Year Of The Villain in Today's Comics

Next Wednesday, just before Free Comic Book Day, DC Comics are releasing DC's Year Of The Villain #1. It would have been their Free Comic Book Day title, but the rules meant all content would have to have been locked down for approval last year and, deadlines being deadlines, that wasn't going to happen. Instead ,it's a 25 cent comic book, it will probably cost stores less than a Free Comic Book Day title would have cost them, they might even make money on it and some stores will give it out free on May the 4th with all the Free Comic Book Day titles anyway.

Well, in today's title, we get the following teaser for a week's time…

DCS YEAR OF THE VILLAIN #1

Evil is winning! Lex Luthor and The Legion of Doom conspire with Cosmic Gods, bending mankind toward a dark destiny. Elsewhere, the scourge of Leviathan spreads unchecked, seizing power in every corner of the world. And all the while the Batman Who Laughs busies himself in the shadows, aligned with no one-yet with sinister plans for all.
The carnage starts here as the badguys take center stage in "The Year of the Villain," the most treacherous event in DC Comics history. Some act with united goals, others with plans selfish and secret, every one of them on a monstrous collision course against Batman, Superman and the heroes of the DC Universe. And our heroes will fail us.
