the cataclysm is beginning to wear off. The citizens of Sub Diego
are coping with their loss in all too familiar — and all too deadly
— ways. And while they adapt to their less and less alien environment,
the bigger question is, can Aquaman adapt as well?

Acclaimed writer/artist
Darwyn Cooke (CATWOMAN: SELINA’S BIG SCORE) turns his attention

seen only in Wizard!
World War II
is over. The Cold War has begun. The Age of the Superhero is in
decline. But where are the heroes of tomorrow?
THE NEW FRONTIER
recounts the dawning of the DCU’s Silver Age from the perspective
of those brave individuals who made it happen. Encounter “keepers
of the flame” including Superman, Wonder Woman and Batman, who survived
the anti-hero sentiment of the Cold War, as well as eager newcomers
like test pilot Hal Jordan and scientist Barry Allen, poised to
become the next generation of crimefighters.
Cooke, a master
storyteller, writes and illustrates this landmark tale, a must-have
for fans of the DCU and all lovers of powerful tales of heroism!
