DC Gives First Look Inside Dark Days: The Forge #1

DC Entertainment has released the first look at interior art from Dark Days: The Forge #1, from artists John Romita Jr., Jim Lee, and Andy Kubert.

Dark Days: The Forge will hit stores on June 15, with Dark Days: The Casting following in July. The stories will set up a new line of titles from DC, featuring new characters and wildly reimagined takes on familiar names.

The New York Times best-selling writers Scott Snyder and James Tynion IV collaborate with Kubert, Lee, and Robita to bring these stories to life, laying the foundation for whats to come with Metal and Dark Matter later this year.

One notable thing about these pages: It appears as if Lady Blackhawk, not seen in some time (since Flashpoint?), appears in the final panel fo the page that features Aquaman.

You can check out the official solicitation text below, and the preview pages in the attached image gallery. Final order cutoff for Dark Days: The Forge #1 is Monday.

Dark Days: The Forge begins with a discovery, and a secret. Aquaman, The Flash and more of DC's pantheon of heroes suspect Batman of hiding a dark secret that could threaten the very existence of the Multiverse! What has he discovered? And how does this connect to the origins of one of DC's most legendary heroes?

Spearheaded by Snyder, METAL and it's preludes will expand the DCU as we know it— revealing that the world of our favorite DC characters still has many areas left uncharted. Wonder Woman, Superman, Batman and the rest of the Justice League think they've been to every corner of the Multiverse—but a looming threat is coming from a place they never knew existed. Welcome to a crazy, melt-your-face, hard-rock space adventure like you've never seen before.

Welcome to the Dark Multiverse.
