Players will tour through multiple popular locations in DC lore, including Superman's Metropolis, Batman's Gotham City and Aquaman's underwater home of Atlantis.AWESOME! It hits 3DS, Wii U, and PC in the fall.To help the game's hero, Maxwell, solve the puzzles in front of him, he'll be able to type out any DC character's name in his magic notebook to summon them. According to an interview in Polygon, every character is included, like all 33 versions of Batman that exist in different chapters of DC's history. Villains aren't left out either, and all are rendered in Scribblenaut's cute, distinctive art style.
John Byrne, creator of my beloved Alpha Flight, is back with Doomsday.1:
The Earth may have dodged a bullet on 12/21/2012, but there are worse things in store for our little blue planet. Seven adventurers aboard the International Space Station watch in horror as most of the world is decimated by a monster solar flare. And their only choice is to return to the surface, and face whatever awaits them there!
Sounds cool - I dig a good end-of-the-world story. Here's a preview.

Marvel starts a new crossover event with Avengers: Enemy Within #1:
THE OPENING SALVO TO THE HOTLY ANTICIPATED AVENGERS/CAPTAIN MARVEL FOUR PART EVENT! Can’t keep a good Captain down! Vicious echoes of the Avengers’ past are cropping up all over Manhattan…and a grounded Captain Marvel refuses to be left behind. Who is the sinister figure behind these incursions and what does it have to do with Carol Danvers’ mysterious condition? But is this villain real or just a figment of Captain Marvel’s increasingly deadly imagination?
WHAT IS WITH THE ALL CAPS?!? WHY ARE YOU YELLING AT US!?! Judging by the preview, this even feels a whole lot more "Chaos War" than "Civil War".
