Dark Horse's Doctor Solar,
Man of the Atom No.1
In the 1990s, Valiant Comics' Jim Shooter put his mark on several beloved characters originally brought to comics by Gold Key Comics. Among them was Doctor Solar. Now Shooter reintroduces the hero with DOCTOR SOLAR, MAN OF THE ATOM #1, the start of an all-new, ongoing series from Dark Horse that's spotlighted with the front cover of May's PREVIEWS, the comic shops' catalog.
On May 1, Dark Horse's Free Comic Book Day title Doctor Solar/Magnus will give readers just a taste of this new series from Shooter, which re-establishes the origin of Doctor Solar - a man able to control energy after being affected by a thermonuclear catastrophe. However, while his powers are incredible, this hero will be challenged by an equally astounding villain with the power to create life.
DC's Batman: Odyssey #1
May PREVIEWS' back cover is just as eye-catching and features DC Comics' BATMAN: ODYSSEY #1, the first chapter of a six-part mini-series from legendary creator Neal Adams. Along with writer Dennis O'Neil, Adams added many layers to Batman for DC during the Silver Age of comics, and his fans have long waited for him to the world of the Caped Crusader. Adams gives fans their wish by serving as Odyssey's writer and artist, telling a story that sees the Dark Knight Detective face a series of seemingly unrelated challenges. But is there a greater threat behind them all?
