Dynamite Entertainment has announced their biggest launch of the year, Project Superpowers #0 at the special introductory price of just 10¢! That very low price is in celebration of the 10th anniversary of the titles original debut in 2008. Heading up the new series is the creative team of writer Rob Williams (Suicide Squad) and artist Sergio Davila (Injustice). This special #0 hits comic shops in July 2018, and will feature an all-star line-up of cover artists.
An all-new threat faces the Earth, while the team deals with turmoil from within and must overcome all obstacles to prove their worth and value in a world that desperately needs its heroes. The Black Terror, the Death-Defying ‘Devil, Sampson, Masquerade, Green Lama, Scarab, and others are all here as the adventure begins again.
“In our new #0 you’ll see we’re introducing the new world via the Devil (Death Defying) and Green Lama,” shared Williams. “We’ll flashback to introduce new readers to the team’s World War II origins and how they were brought to the present via imprisonment in Pandora’s Box. And then it’s introducing a brand-new threat. One not so rooted in their history. The main players, which include the Black Terror, the Scarab, Masquerade, are going to have to form a new incarnation of the team. And the Spirit of the American Flag is hovering, watching, judging…A new host is going to be taken.”
Williams got his start in 2002 as a publisher/creator with Com.X then worked with a variety of publishers including Dynamite, 2000A.D., and Marvel before landing with DC where he started his ongoing run of Suicide Squad in October 2016, that continues on 38 issues later.
Davila began his professional career with Dynamite on the Lord of the Jungle series in 2012 and has provided work for Red Sonja, Vampirella, and other of the publisher’s top series. He has recently started working with DC on Wonder Woman and Superman, in addition to drawing Dynamite’s most powerful heroes.
“We’ve been planning the relaunch of Project Superpowers for the last year, and knew we wanted to create the most compelling comic possible! To do that, we were able to bring on board Rob Williams and Sergio Davilla, and it’s a great comic! To ensure the widest audience possible reads the series, we are offering the #0 issue at 10¢ for the 10th anniversary of Project Superpowers!” added Dynamite CEO/Publisher Nick Barrucci. “I couldn’t be prouder of the creative team and comic, and can’t wait for fans to check it out! I know that they will love it!”
“I am beyond thrilled to be working with Rob on this ambitious relaunch of our flagship superhero series. Rob’s become a friend and a force to be reckoned with in comics for sure, and applying his vision and skill to Project Superpowers is going to make it the superhero event of 2018,” Dynamite Executive Editor Joseph Rybandt said.
Project Superpowers #0 has a cover by artist Francesco Mattina (Dark Nights: Metal) that will also be available as a limited edition virgin cover. Plus, there are five sneak peek variant covers to choose from by John Royle, Philip Tan, Sergio Davila, Ed Benes, and J.G. Jones. And don’t miss out on the Project Superpowers Omnibus Vol. 1: Dawn of Heroes collecting three full graphic novels and the never before collecting Project Superpowers #1/2 issue. This new collection coincides with the release of the new Project Superpowers #1 in August.
