Scott Snyder (Batman, Superman Unchained, SEVERED) and Jock (Batman, Wolverine, SNAPSHOT) will team up for a new, ongoing horror series called WYTCHES. Everything you thought you knew about witches is wrong. They are much darker, and they are much more horrifying.

THE FIRST SUPERHERO LABOR UNION

C.O.W.L.

Superheroes need to prove their worth
to a disillusioned public in forthcoming series

 

Superheroes need a Labor Union and they’ll get one in May 2014 in C.O.W.L. by Kyle Higgins, Alec Siegel, and Rod Reis from Image Comics.

 

Press Release

This May, Kyle Higgins (Batman, Nightwing), Alec Siegel (Captain America, Avengers), and Rod Reis (Justice League) take readers back to 1960s Chicago, in a time when the once-celebrated superhero labor union C.O.W.L. struggles to maintain their public image and regain the confidence of the people.

A rise in “super powered” individuals dates back to the closing days of World War II after the deployment of the atomic bomb. In response, Geoffrey Warner (then known as The Grey Raven) spearheaded the campaign to bring heroes together in Chicago…and struck a contract with the city for the heroes’ services. But while C.O.W.L. once stood as a beacon of hope against an epidemic of organized crime and a loose “brotherhood” of villains, the organization is now in a position where it must prove its worth to an ever more disillusioned public…while overcoming great threats from both inside and outside its offices.

The second, and more important, is to reach into the core of the character and re-explore who Danny Rand is. Reinvention through core exploration.”
