New Frontier Special

December 13, 2007: Darwyn Cooke Returns for More “New Frontier” Stories

Newsarama.com has learnt that DC Comics will publish "Justice League: The New Frontier Special", a collection of stories from Darwyn Cooke, J. Bone and David Bullock in March 2008.

This 48-page special (with no ads) will include "New Frontier: The Lost Chapter", an indepth look at the huge fight between Superman and Batman that was only hinted at in the original saga. Other characters getting the spotlight include Wonder Woman, Black Canary, Sgt. Rock and more.

Here's an excerpt from the interview with Darwyn Cooke...

    Q: What brought this special about? Obviously, since its publication, there have been fans screaming for a return to the New Frontier universe, and DC has even officially added it as one of the 52 universes. Had you been thinking of returning previous to this, or was this the first time you seriously entertained the idea?

    Darwyn Cooke: Actually, this is the second time its worked out. I did do a short New Frontier story in my issue of Solo featuring King Faraday. There were other New Frontier projects I pitched DC that never happened. J. Bone and I were well into a one shot that would have introduced Black Canary to the New Frontier universe when Editorial killed it. There was also my concept for a SHIELD style ongoing that would have brought Faraday into the DCU in a major way...that didn't get off the launch pad either. So I've not been adverse to doing NF related projects, it just hasn't worked out. The DVD release made for an obvious reason to do a special of some sort.
