Teaser Poster

January 26, 2007: DC Comics Teaser Poster

DC Comics has released the pictured teaser poster with a cryptic tag line which reads:

"Let the battle cry be heard in the land, a shout of great destruction..."

No other details are available at this point in time, but speculation amongst fans leans towards the up-coming "World War III" event in April.

Speaking of "World War III", DC Comics held a telephone press conference on Wednesday, and the Comics Continuum has posted a transcript of the questions and answers. Here's part of the transcript...

    Q: What spurred the need for these one-shots?

    A: Basically, World War III comes in 52 Week 50, which is April 18th for everyone. It's a very big story, obviously. It takes up an entire week of 52. But the story was actually too big for 52. Because, aside from World War III, what we wanted to do is to tell what happened with all the One Year Later stories, which we hint at along the way. But World War III really effects all the characters in a simlar sense; it causes the One Year Later stories, which is why we wouldn't give that away ahead of time.

    Because of that and because there was only 22 pages in 52, we are doing these four one-shots that fill in the gaps.

    Q: Keith, what can you say about the two that you're writing?

    A: Lots of stuff happens. It's a big continuity-changing event for a lot of characters. It fills in a lot of gaps between the end of Infinite Crisis and the missing year of One Year Later for a lot of different characters. It's a pretty kick-ass book. The art looks great so far. I don't know what else to say about it without giving away any major plot points.
