We present to you [b][color=red]DC Next Dawn[/color][/b], a collection of all new fan-made issues on “sale” this month, [b]DECEMBER 2021[/b]![/center]

[B][COLOR="#0000CD"]What is “DC Next Dawn” and how does it work?[/COLOR][/B]

Next Dawn, previously known as “New Dawn,” is a fan fiction universe and solicitation game that has been in existence on the CBR boards for approximately ten years! It has gone through several iterations and has survived forum reboots! The way it works is that “plotters” write short solicitations for monthly comic books! Then participants “buy” the books they want to read! The books with the most buys get rewards. Sounds fun, right? So let’s do this! Which of this month's solicits interest and excite you? Let us know by posting which books you'd pick up in the virtual Next Dawn Store (this solicitation thread). You can pull as many as you'd like, but also consider your "virtual budget" when making your selections, as sales are used to reward our titles and plotters. Registers are open all month and sales are tallied at the end of the month.

[b]Absolutely anyone can make purchases right here in this thread - so please do![/b]. It’s free and is basically just saying “I’d read this” or “I like this!” So let us know!

If you want more information on Next Dawn or are interested in plotting yourself, please visit us at the [SIZE=5][URL="https://community.cbr.com/showthread.php?126651-DC-Next-Dawn-Bullpen"]Next Dawn Bullpen Thread[/URL]. [/size]

[CENTER][B][SIZE=5][COLOR="#FF0000"]Behold! Our monthly archive![/COLOR][/SIZE][/B]
This is the repository of our prior work; a compilation of all the monthly solicitation posts since the forum was reset in 2014.

[b]AQUAMAN #14[/b]
Plaot by EXCITER
Written by GEOFF JOHNS
Art by JIM LEE
“HELL IS OVERFLOWING” part two “NO PAIN, NO GAIN”
The “Aquagod” continues his divine quest to stop the crises afflicting the rivers of the Underworld. After preventing the Styx from overflowing, he now turns to the Acheron: the River of Pain!
Acheron was originally a god that betrayed Olympus, aiding the Titans during their war by providing hydration. As punishment, Zeus transformed him into a cursed river. Now, any who enter Archeron’s waters feel excruciating agony! Obviously, Arthur can’t swim in [i]that[/i]. He needs another way to investigate the overflow…
Fortunately, he has the coin to pay for the services of Charon the Ferryman! On the rust-colored skiff, the Charopós, the two approach the source of Archeron’s troubles… Nekromanteion, an island ziggurat populated by necromancers. These dark wizards have plundered too many agonized Atlantean souls from the river, fusing them into a hydrokinetic monster of unprecedented malice: Nekromanteia the Drowner! Can Aquagod take them down, or is it too late to get a refund on those coins from Charon?
Meanwhile, with new godly responsibilities pulling him away, Aquaman’s quest to unify the fractured city-states of Atlantis falls upon others. Cometh the hour, cometh the Crablad! He and Mera travel to New York to deal with the meddlesome surface world and the U.N.’s questionable decision regarding sovereignty over the seven seas (see HAWKWOMAN AND HAWKMAN #6). Can Crablab reaffirm Atlantean dominance while also preventing sabotage from hidden cultists still loyal to the fallen god Triton?

[b]THE FLASH #29[/b]
Plot by EXCITER
Written by ROBERT KIRKMAN

[B]“DIPLOMATIC CRISIS”[/B] part two [B]“THE SPEED OF LIES”[/B]
Markovburg, Markovia.
A collection of world leaders and influencers have gathered for an international summit. Hidden among them are conspirators. Count Werner Zytle of Vlatava, a.k.a. the dizzying “Count Vertigo.” Queen Bee, ruler of the Middle Eastern nation of Bialya. Simon Stagg, CEO of Stagg Enterprises and pioneer of the widely-mandated Human Confirmation Test. Commodore Murphy, the so-called “Technocrat,” youthful trillionaire behind the mega-investment group “the Green Team.” And finally… Vandal Savage. These members of Savage’s secret society, the Light, gather in secrecy at his request.
Savage is interested in putting an emphasized global focus on non-human threats while offering meta-humans as the solution. Markovia happens to be unique among nations, as it’s prince is the metahuman Geoforce. Imagine public perception if an alien were to eliminate the King and Queen of Markovia and allow a righteous, avenging metahuman to ascend to the throne…
As always, the perfect patsy has already been hired. Enter the Main Man: Lobo! Technically, he’s the fastest Czarnian alive - because he fragged the rest of his planet!And he’s got a contract to fulfill!

And as Iris West continues her investigative journalism, she learns that Barry’s grandfather Mark Thompson (who we learned was a speedster and Cold War CIA asset back in THE FLASH #9) once also failed to save a Markovian King from assassination, with the Russian speedster Red Streak slaying the monarch and jumpstarting a decades-long Soviet occupation of the nation! Turns out, speedsters are absolutely hated in the country! Ut oh!

[COLOR="#008000"][B]GREEN LANTERN #29[/B][/COLOR]
Plot by EXCITER
Written by MARK MILLAR
Art by JOE MADUREIRA
[B]“DON’T SIGN UP EXPECTING GRATITUDE”[/B]
[COLOR="#008000"]Oa: The Green Lantern Corps is pleased to announce that, thanks to a combined effort from multiple internal divisions and assistance from local authorities, the Corps has effectively stopped the spread of the Doomsday Virus on the planet Earth of Sector 2814. [/COLOR]
The local authorities, however, aren’t exactly grateful for Corps’ efforts. In fact, Green Lanterns Stewart, Gardner, and Cruz are shocked when the Corps is blamed for causing the outbreak in the first place!
Hal Jordan was patient zero. He was infected by being in proximity to Earth-2 Doomsday when the monster was finally slain, and Hal unknowingly brought the virus back to this reality with him. The immense guilt he feels is bad enough, but things get worse when the newly synthesized cure isn’t fully effective on him: it stops Hal from transmitting the virus, but it doesn’t reverse its effects. He’s still huge, grey, has protruding bone spikes, and can barely control his rage!
So it’s just about the worst time for intergalactic despot Despero to organize a massive jailbreak from the prison planet Takron-Galtos where Hal’s being held! Does even the legendary ring-slinger Hal Jordan have the willpower to safeguard the corrections staff while also stopping the universe’s most heinous criminals from escaping without completely losing himself to the nearly uncontrollable Doomsday within?

[B]HAWKWOMAN AND HAWKMAN #7[/B]
Writer ED BRUBAKER
Artists ADAM and ANDY KUBERT
Plotter: CaptCleghorn
Cover by BARRY WINDSOR-SMITH
[B]“Swim!” [/B]
The transformation of Carl Sands into something else at the end of last issue has placed him beyond the reach of Zastrow, Hawkman, or Hawkwoman. Without knowing if he’s alive or dead, the Hawks have no path to investigate. Yet. Zastrow wants the help of the Thanagarean officers to hunt down Sands, but a message from Captain Byth about a CAW base located underwater in the Pacific has shifted the Hawks’ attention from Earth crooks to a potential alien invasion. Because Byth is a major reason for CAW’s activity on Earth, he is maintaining a pure Thanagarian stance in his actions here (Note: even Thanagar uses the term CYA).
Byth’s added and unexpected help has provided our heroes with the Cormorant, basically a Thanagarian submersible vehicle. A “flying sub” so to speak. What will happen when our heroes meet species which have telepathic abilities and may be able to read their very thoughts? Or more? The Gil'Dishpan and the Hykraians claim to be decreasing the amount of CO2 in earth’s atmosphere, but can two methane breathing species be trusted to properly reduce greenhouse gasses?
Chayara has her first Checkmate task. She has been requested to find the path that heroin is taking within her school. When she discovers one of the people involved is a friend, can she make the right choice?

He was used by his ex and the Uzikstan gov't to eliminate a threat to the military general that runs the country. All that these people wanted was freedom and to not have to survive in horrible living conditions. David asks Ben what their next move is. The rebels are dead, Flo and Gypsy are long gone by now and they have blood on their hands. Ben tells David to go to the hotel, get their things together and meet him at the airport.
Breznin, the capitol of Uzikstan is a beautiful city. Igor Khisnov stands on the balcony of the presidential palace as he looks over his city. It is a cold night but Khisnov does not feel it. He is a very happy man. The rebel leaders have been eliminated and the others are too afraid to stand against him. He will consolidate his power, change the constitution and make himself President Emeritus! He is so caught up in his victory that he does not hear the door open or the padded feet that prowl across the room.
Hours later, David waits as Ben finally at the airport and they board a private plane. He sees what looks like small amounts of blood on Ben's hands and clothes. He asks did anything happen and Ben tells him that he went to see a man about a dog and the dog tried to bite.
The next morning news outlets around the world report that President Igor Khisnov was found dead by his staff in his bedroom palace. It looks like the cause of death was that he wad badly beaten and his throat cut. They also report that his housekeepers said there was a strange word on the wall written in blood, "Woof!"

[B]THE QUESTION #29[/B]
Writer MARK RUSSELL
Artist BILL SIENKIEWICZ
Plotter: CaptCleghorn
[B]“Where in the World is Charles Victor Szasz?”[/B] Part 3: [B]“You're Not Bigger Than This, Not Better. Why Can't You Learn?”[/B]
Vic’s in Denver, Colorado. We’re going to spill some beans here and drive the interwebs bonkers, but some of the urban myths mentioned here are actually true!
Home to “Blucifer”, a 32 ft tall fiberglass statue of a mustang stallion, the Denver International Airport is home to many urban myths and conspiracy theories. Besides being home to lizard like aliens living in subterranean tunnels, it is also rumored to have notes telling of the apocalypse. Those you need to read the book to see if Vic discovers these are true, but what we can tell you is that DIA contains US government offices with transportation to NORAD. One of the big information tech gurus working there, Noah Kuttler (aka the Calculator), is focused on a recent crisis that is the result of the Brother Eye satellite being destroyed and much of that stolen data being lost (Issue 24). What Vic doesn’t know is that Valentina Vostok who absorbed the knowledge and now calls herself Oracle is being held by Kuttler’s team. It’s not surprising that since Vostok is a Russian cosmonaut with military rank, the US Government would be concerned about a Russian with all that intel.
So can Vic save Oracle by breaking her out of a US military instillation?

Thanks to their investigation, the former and current Nightwings know the face of the new Kingpin of Blüdhaven.
But it turns out that Nightwing Syndicate’s leader… is a dead man.
Marcus Moore was a very successful man once. As intelligence head of Meridian, he was to be one of the masters of humanity’s future.
He held that true power for but a moment — until Dick Grayson snatched it away from him. A sleight he would not soon forget.
From the ashes of Meridian, the Dead Man built something new. Something more... traditional. And he titled it with the name of the man who stole his victory from him.
Using the weapon surplus from Meridian, he aims to make a fortune on the black market… no matter the carnage the experimental Xenothium technology might unleash upon Blüdhaven.
Dick and Chey know all this, and the fact that the Syndicate is about to make a deal that will send the xenothium supply from the streets of their city out to every major metropolis in the country!
Unfortunately, while knowing may be half the battle... the Nightwings will have a hard time doing anything about it.
They’ve been captured by the Syndicate – and Marcus Moore isn’t the type of guy to monologue away while leaving his enemies alive.
Just when death seems imminent, help comes from a surprising place.
Red X, to the rescue?

The Sensation Challenge continues with...
[B]“WONDER WOMAN: GODDESS OF MARS”
[/B]Legends say that Barsoom, the world we know as Mars, is red because it is stained with blood. Those legends may be true, now more than ever…
The Red Martians of Zodonga have fallen under the sway of the self-styled “Duke of Deception,” a trickster god and craven servitor of Ares. Zodonga, now allied with warlike White Martians, marches to battle against the nation of Helium! Can Diana of Thymescira rally defenders in time?
With their greatest hero J'onn J'onzz unjustly confined in a prison on Jasoom (Earth) (see THE FLASH #26), the Green Martians were easy prey for the Duke’s pawns. But not all the Greens have fallen. T’ars T’arkas, warrior and leader of the Thark Clan of Greens, yet draws breath. Diana must convince him to follow her… through combat!
Meanwhile, the traitorous Clea still has the stolen Trident of Poseidon - and plans to use it overflow the sacred River Iss and inundate the dry planet, bringing Barsoom its first flood in millennia! Her larger plan remains unclear, but unless she’s stopped she will unleash a deluge that may wipe the planet clean! While Wonder Woman tries to save Helium, is there anyone who can stop her?
Perhaps… For once, a former Confederate soldier named Carter arrived upon Barsoom and became its greatest champion. He bested countless foes and claimed countless victories before, eventually, he disappeared. His great-great-many-more-greats nephew, Michael Carter, however, was a cocky football player turned janitor that stole tech and went back in time to act like a hero named “Booster Gold.” He’s around and is exploring his heritage upon discovering his relation to John through a genealogy website. But… really, is there anyone else?

[B]"A SPACEMAN CAME TRAVELING"[/B]
A holiday tale introducing [B]JLAlien [/B]by NX01A, ZEB WELLS & RYAN SOOK!
The brightest star in this sky is PSR J0108-1431, a 200 million years old pulsar about 770 light years from Earth, and the three starships come solar sailing into its sole blasted plutoid's orbit. One great and old has been born, one which is being offered gifts, offered genetically altered sacrifices from across the local galaxies. The ship with the Milky Way's bounty jails a telepathic human, a non-telepathic Martian, a human-Kherubim-Daemonite mongrel, a Tamaranean princess, and an ancient Kryptonian artifact found floating inert in space. When a 5th Dimensional imp answers the human's mental distress call, will this Christmas miracle lead to New Year's evil?

So when news spreads that Red X is prowling the streets of Blüdhaven… it’s time for a family vacation.
Cassie and Kitty Sandsmark won’t be home for Christmas… but, they’re Jewish, so that’s not a big deal for them.
But as the Wonder Girls prowl the streets of Blüdhaven, they meet an old friend, Dick Grayson!
Of course, what they don’t know is that Dick Grayson WAS the Red X who hurt Cassie. The new one may a be a criminal, but they’re hunting them for a crime they didn’t commit.

[B]“CRISIS ON TWELVE DAYS OF CHRISTMAS”[/B]
Plot by EXCITER
Written by ROBERT KIRKMAN
Art by FRANK CHO
Booster Gold finds himself trapped in an ever-repeating twelve day time-loop! During these days, he is invariably confronted with situations related to: John Drum drumming; the Pied Piper piping; Maxwell Lord leaping; Lady Shiva dancing; Maiden America milking; the Swan Fleet swimming; the Mother Goose Gang laying traps; five power rings; four Birds of Prey; Frenchie and Hen; the Turtle fighting Dove; and a crisis on the World Tree.

[B]“DO THEY KNOW IT’S CHRISTMAS ON WARWORLD?”[/B]
Plot by EXCITER
Written by MARK MILLAR
Art by JOE MADUREIRA
With immigrants from around the universe needed to staff and maintain the planet-sized weapon, Warworld is becoming quite the cultural melting pot. But in this harsh locale ruled by Mongul, do they know it’s Christmas time at all? For Star Sapphire Carol Ferris, it’s time to feed the Warworld!
[B]“HERE COMES MANTA CLAUS”[/B]
Plot by EXCITER
Written by GEOFF JOHNS
Art by JIM LEE
By osmosis, some surface traditions have taken hold in Atlantis. Christmas is one of them, though obviously there’s been some cultural filtering. Case in point: on the Winter Solstice, Manta Claus - an extremely intelligent manta ray - will swim into your home and, if you’ve been good all year and leave out tasty plankton for him, give you a gift! The kids love it, but it’s a myth… isn’t it?
This year a giant, talking ray claiming to be the real Manta Claus was arrested in the capital city of Poseidonis. Will King Orm order his commitment to a mental hospital… or can Manta Claus’ attorney prove his claim?

[B]BAT-WING #29[/B] - Steve Trevor died 3 issues ago and he's still getting page time?
[B]DEADLY HANDS OF CONNOR HAWKE #29[/B] - The Left Hand Clan is actually a splinter group from The Five Fingers of Death Clan.
[B]THE FLASH #29[/B] - What do you call Barry Allen if he's running down the street naked? A Flasher of course!

[B]HAWKWOMAN AND HAWKMAN #7[/B] - If you see a book in the aliens ship with the title "To Serve Man", get the hell out of there!

[B]NEXT DAWN HOLIDAY SPECIAL #3[/B] See below.

LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #3 (the purest tribute to Hickman’s style!)

One of everything! :D

As the month and year come to a close, remember to get those purchases in! Anything bought before I tally sales totals counts!

One of everything!
Happy new year to you all!

I'll take the whole lot!

[B]AQUAMAN #14[/B] (A Hawk tie-in? OMG! Sounds like a thing.)
[B]BAT-WING #29[/B] (It's an ugly truth that even Steve Trevor needed to work multiple jobs to make ends meet.)
[B]DEADLY HANDS OF CONNOR HAWKE #29[/B] (That's a wonderful expository title. I am positive I do not recognize the inspiration for it, though.)
[B]THE FLASH #29[/B] (This issue explains the lack of talent on the Markovian Olympic team.)
[B]GREEN LANTERN #29[/B] (I have visions of Takron-Galtos as a pile of rubble with only Hal's cell standing as they other inmates disliked him and left him imprisoned.)
[B]HAWKWOMAN AND HAWKMAN #7[/B] (Chayara may learn the Earth phrase "snitches get stitches".)
[B]HOUSE OF S #9[/B] (If Jimmy's on the job, there's nothing to worry about.)
[B]JUSTICE FOR ALL SEASONS #12[/B] (Not even the JL can stop Christmas from taking over the year with their juggernaut-like YuleKrieg.)
[B]LEGION OF SUPERHEROES #3[/B] (Darkseid? Aren't turkeys extinct in 3016?)
[B]MAN OF BRONZE #5[/B] (Just in case the reason for the "ex" wasn't clear. Funny how that's usually obvious.)
[B]THE QUESTION #29[/B] (Rocky Mountain High... (Colorado))
[B]RED X: SEASON TWO #10[/B] (Frankly, I'm disappointed. Bad guys monologuing is one of my favorite things in comics.)
[B]SENSATION COMICS #24[/B] (Do the inhabitants of the nation of Helium speak with funny voices? Asking for a friend.)
[B]NEXT DAWN HOLIDAY SPECIAL #3[/B] (The captain is way too lax when it comes to holiday blockbuster anthologies.)
