This coming January, you’ll notice something unique about the cover treatments for DCU titles hitting that month. Each title gets a
unique and yet familiar logo treatment that brings the focus on the
characters and stars of their respective books.
New year. New
beginnings. New focus.
This January will see a handful of one-shots spotlighting some of the
key players in the DCU by an A-list assortment of creators, including
James Robinson, Eric Wallace, J.T. Krul and more.
Here’s the breakdown:

In this tie-in to the “JLA Omega” storyline, the new blue and gold
team of Congorilla and Mikaal Tomas work to unlock the secrets behind
the toxic Omega Man’s dark energy, which encases Washington D.C. To do
this they must embark on a quest to find the Fountain of Youth,
encountering diverse heroes from the DCU along the way including Animal
Man, Sirocco and a certain wonder dog named Rex. And all the while,
Mikaal and Congorilla must outrun and outwit a cadre of terrorist
assassins from Gorilla City. This is a breakneck chase through the DCU,
but with a serious end-goal – saving the lives of their fellow members
of the JLA!
