All of DC Comics' November 2019 Acetate Covers, Animated

In November, in the DC Universe, the bad guys win… DC's Year of the Villain reaches its next deadly phase with "Hostile Takeover" — as the heroes of the DC Universe are defeated by their greatest foes.

The triumph of evil over good will be represented with a series of two-layer acetate covers in November, which will see DC's heroes literally replaced by their villains – Action Comics is taken over by Lex Luthor and Justice League by the Legion of Doom, for example. The top layer of the cover features the villains' Hostile Takeover of the book's title, showing off their newly empowered status quo. The second layer, retaining each series' familiar logo, will reflect the storyline events that led to the hero's defeat.

Unlike the card stock covers, the acetate covers will not add anything to the price, $3.99 for each. And each issue gets an additional variant cover tied in with DCeased.

Here's an animated gif of all the Year of the Villain acetate covers one after another…
