Warner Premiere, DC Comics and Warner Bros. Animation are set to release the all-new film in a Blu-Ray™ Hi-Def edition, a special edition 2-disc DVD, and a single disc DVD. Warner Home Video will distribute the action-packed movie, which will also be available OnDemand and Pay-Per-View as well as available for download that same day.
Superman/Batman: Public Enemies is based on the popular Jeph Loeb/Ed McGuinness comic series/graphic novel. Bruce Timm (Superman Doomsday, Green Lantern) is executive producer. Michael Goguen (Justice League: The New Frontier) is supervising producer. Sam Liu (The Batman) is directing a script written by Stan Berkowitz (Justice League: The New Frontier).
In the film, United States President Lex Luthor uses the oncoming trajectory of a Kryptonite asteroid to frame Superman and declare a $1 billion bounty on the heads of the Man of Steel and his “partner in crime,” Batman. Heroes and villains alike launch a relentless pursuit of Superman and Batman, who must unite – and recruit help – to stave off the action-packed onslaught, stop the asteroid, and uncover Luthor’s devious plot to take command of far more than North America.
"Superman/Batman: Public Enemies" features a star-studded voice cast filling the roles of super heroes and villains alike, including Kevin Conroy (Batman), Tim Daly (Superman), Clancy Brown (Lex Luthor), Allison Mack (Power Girl), Xander Berkeley (Captain Atom), Ricardo Chavira (Major Force), John C. McGinley (Metallo), LeVar Burton (Black Lightning), CCH Pounder (Amanda Waller) and a host of others.
In the near future, the living and the dead share the same space. Known as “Blue Lights,” the non-living are mostly harmless, roaming the streets, hiding from city lights, scuttling in the shadows. But when they begin to appear as ghostly weapons of mass destruction, Metro Police has only one person for the job: Alice Hotwire, Detective Exorcist. Underfunded, undermanned and under investigation, her department is the only thing standing between the city and certain destruction.
Radical Publishing is proud to announce a hardcover edition of Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead, available this November. Written and illustrated by Steve Pugh (Preacher: Saint of Killers) and co-created by legendary writer Warren Ellis (Planetary, Transmetropolitan), Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead tells the story of a detective exorcist who must uncover a supernatural mystery and a new form of ghostly terrorism.
Called “an all around phenomenal book,” by Ain’t It Cool News, and “one of the most entertaining bangs for your buck,” by Newsarama, the hardcover edition of Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead collects all four issues of the critically acclaimed series in a special “director’s cut” edition with additional story pages. Also included in this collection are newly remastered tales from Alice Hotwire’s past, featuring never-before-seen pages and amazing newly painted artwork, as well as newly unearthed, previously unreleased pages written by co-creator Warren Ellis; an extensive gallery showcasing the evolution of the character; a spotlight gallery of artwork from celebrated artists Steve Pugh, Stjepan Sejic (Witchblade), Jelena Djurdjevic (The Immortal Iron Fist) and Garry Leach (Judge Dredd, Marvelman); an in-depth interview with co-creator Steve Pugh as well as a dustjacket showcasing an all new cover by Steve Pugh
Hotwire: Requiem for the Dead hardcover trade will be 128 full color pages for $19.95 and is available to order in the September 2009 Diamond Previews catalog (Diamond order code: SEP090956).

The Veil is a horror comic about a haunted, young medium named Christine living in Crooksville. Christine is haunted by this mysterious presence behind the veil, the barrier between the souls of the disturbed dead in which this comic is named. The presence is the manifestation of “...all our dark impulses and feelings and anxieties...”, she has named the Slug Man.
The Veil grabs the attention of the reader at the very start with the art work, and keeps a fairly strong grip throughout. The art work is definitely the strong suit of this comic. For a comic with such dark subject matter, there is a great deal of bright color. What's more, the color is appropriate in any given scene. When the supernatural is involved, and this is true for all medium, artists tend to darken things needlessly. Not this book. The characters are well drawn, and the apparitions in this book are grotesque, and fun to look at.
The Premise of our emotional sludge manifesting it self in a small town definitely interesting. While the story is good, I would have preferred that a bit more of it had been show in the art rather than told in expository narrative boxes. In the first part of this issue there are a few too many of these boxes to read. In a visually fascinating scene with Christine behind the veil we are treated to some some stunning artwork, but here to there are too many narrative boxes to be read. Christine is telling us why the dead are assaulting her from beyond the veil, and what the horrifying Slug Man is, but I would rather be shown more of this through the art work. An opportunity partially squandered.
After this scene behind the veil, however, this issue with narrative boxes is cleared up, as the book becomes more plot driven. There are some graphic scenes showing the maddening of the town, some harming themselves, and others turning on the few sane town members. Christine joins her sheriff friend named Frank, and they are saved by a man Frank knows named Gabe. The issue ends with an honest to goodness intriguing, and scary reveal.
While the graphic, and violent scenes of self mutilation are a tad much, they don't slow down the story. The dialogue isn't anything special, the narration begins to get a bit dramatic towards the end(though there is good reason), and the depiction of rural America as psychologically sick is less than subtle, but this is still a good book.
