DC is HOT — Kicking off with an exclusive new Batman cover from DC Comics, Wizard delves into the return of Bruce Wayne and examines what the triumphant comeback of the Caped Crusader means for the DC Universe!
Also, we go in-depth and behind the scenes of tragic Golden Age creator Wally Wood, whose battle with alcohol and medical issues led to his tragic suicide.
Plus, go inside the secret, all-star comic book club of TNA Wrestling. Meet the tough guys who still make it to the comic store every week!
Finally, we’ll pitch the five indie and alt comics ready to make the jump to Hollywood — with the casts and directors we wanna see! It’s Casting Call gone creator-owned.
