The Justice League has been defeated by the Great Darkness and its army of DC's most dangerous enemies—now a new generation of Super Heroes must rise to protect not only the Multiverse…but also the legacy of the DCU! Includes a preview and art from "Dark Crisis #1" coming in June!

GALAXY: THE PRETTIEST STAR FCBD SPECIAL EDITION
Every day in Taylor Barzelay's life might seem perfect—but every day is torture. Taylor is actually the Galaxy Crowned, an alien princess from the planet Cyandii, and one of the few survivors of an intergalactic war. For six long, painful years, Taylor has accepted her duty to remain in hiding as a boy on Earth. But that all changes when Taylor meets Metropolis girl Katherine "call me Kat" Silverberg, whose confidence is electrifying. Suddenly, Taylor no longer wants to hide, even if exposing her true identity could attract her greatest enemies.
Written by Jadzia Axelrod (Wonderful Women of the World) with art by Jess Taylor (Of Her Own Design), this Free Comic Book Day special edition features an excerpt from the upcoming original graphic novel "Galaxy: The Prettiest Star".
DC Middle Grade Graphic Novels
DC LEAGUE OF SUPER-PETS FCBD SPECIAL EDITION 2022 #1
Fans can get an early preview of the upcoming original graphic novel "DC League of Super-Pets: The Great Mxy-Up" before it releases on May 17. Picking up immediately where the highly anticipated animated film "DC League of Super-Pets" leaves off, "DC League of Super-Pets: The Great Mxy-Up" is written by Heath Corson (Justice League Action) with art by Bobby Timony (Monster Elementary).
There is nothing the Super-Pets love more than spending time with their heroes, but are finding it difficult to be taken seriously as members of the team when their humans just don't understand them. But when Mr. Mxyzptlk (a magical imp from the fifth dimension) arrives in Metropolis with a plan to wreak a little chaos and destruction, the Justice League are caught in his trap! The Super-Pets will need to come up with a plan to prevent Mxy's mischief from destroying the city—while somehow trying to rescue their human counterparts. The only problem is, they may need to recruit their greatest enemy in order to defeat him.
All three of DC's FCBD specials will be available at participating retailers on Saturday, May 7, 2022. For more information on Free Comic Book Day, visit the website at www.freecomicbookday.com.
