DC Next Dawn - July Solicits!

[nx01a]

We present to you DC Next Dawn, a collection of all new fan-made issues on “sale” this month, JULY 2021!

What is “DC Next Dawn” and how does it work?

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.

Absolutely anyone can make purchases right here in this thread - so please do!. 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 Next Dawn Bullpen Thread.

Behold! Our monthly archive!
This is the repository of our prior work; a compilation of all the monthly solicitation posts since the forum was reset in 2014.

“AMAZONIA-ATLANTIS: WEIGHT OF THE WAVES” the penultimate chapter: part seven “GOD DAMNED”
Fenris Glacier. Once, long ago, the stewards of Amazonia and Atlantis met for a summit here. It failed, and a Great War erupted. This time, however, in the ruins of what came before…. things are different. The nations currently share mutual enemies in Triton, Enyo, and their ring-wielding devotees. Oh, and they also have Crablad, the shockingly diplomatic crustacean that has done the impossible - and forged an alliance between the two Kingdoms! They both now sail to defend Olympus itself from the mad gods!
General Ocina leads Venturia after the former Duchess Clea’s shocking betrayal. She should be focused on the war effort, but her heart pulls in another direction. We know the King of Atlantis is the Ocean Master, but is Orm also the master… of Love?
The goddess of bloodlust, Enyo, now has the Graeae’s shared eye - the Seal of Clarity - and the vision it bestows makes her exponentially more deadly. True to their word, the other Graeae reveal why Enyo was able to defeat the combined might of the multi-era Others - Enyo also possesses their shared “tooth” - a sword forged from the tooth of Cetus, Zeus’ favored Megalodon. Remove these two artifacts, and she’s just another goddess…
There may be only one way to make that happen. Wonder Woman recently had a power-up, and it is Aquaman’s time to follow suit! The God of the Seas, Poseidon, feels responsible for his son, Triton, allying with Enyo. As penance, he agrees to give his powers to the one individual who can stop Triton once and for all… all hail AQUAGOD!

All Barry has to do… is beat Kim Qui in a race?!?

Registers are now open!

[atomicskull]

I shall take one of each.

[Exciter]

Wallet smashing month. My pulls:

AQUAMAN #9 (the penultimate chapter… and even I don’t know how it ends!)
BAT-WING #24 (showdown in the Silk District!)
DEADLY HANDS OF CONNOR HAWKE #24 (Cold Cut Turkey is my favorite ND band since hair metal icons Sëx Lüthor)
DETECTIVE COMICS #17 *Earth-2 tie-in* (The Memer is perfect and exactly what I’d look for in an Earth-2 setting)
EARTH-2: BAT-WING #3 (The Congo heating up!)
EARTH-2: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #3 (of 4) (mystery!)
EARTH-2: CLAW THE UNCONQUERED
EARTH-2: THE LONG-BOW HUNTERS #3 (layers upon layers of action)
EARTH-2: THE PARASITE (this is my personal favorite Earth-2 variant)
EARTH-2: SAGA OF THE SUPER SONS #3 (Sharif don’t like it! Rock the casbah!)
EARTH-2: SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY, “Truel” #4 (of 7) (the sun never sets on the British Empire on Earth-2)
EARTH-2: SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY, “Truel” #5 (of 7) (plot twist: everyone likes his singing)
EARTH-2: SUPERMAN #3 (“Bru-Al arrives through a dimensional rift, leading an army of Kryptonian Death Knights.” - I’m sold!)
THE FLASH #24 *Earth-2 Tie-In*
GREEN LANTERN #24 *Earth-2 Tie-In*
HAWKWOMAN AND HAWKMAN #2 (the old fake ghost to real ghost trick!)
HOUSE OF S #5 (this is awesome. BOTM!)
JUSTICE FOR ALL SEASONS #8 (“Oreo-Rider of a Huge Oreo” - this character seems basically unbeatable to me)
KAL: THE LAST SON #1 *All-New Limited Series* (an interesting fantasy universe!)
THE QUESTION #24 (Fermin has my vote)

[Marvell2100]

One of everything for me. Another good month.

[kalai]

One of everything for me.

AQUAMAN #9 (Wait, are we gonna just get Aquagod from now on, that's rad.)
BAT-WING #24 (Rose is out for some blood, I'm sure Dexter Soy like drawing her.)
DEADLY HANDS OF CONNOR HAWKE #24 (Kids nowadays, they'd do anything to go viral.)
DETECTIVE COMICS #17 *Earth-2 tie-in*
EARTH-2: BAT-WING #3 (Okay, but where is Steve Trevor?)
EARTH-2: BRAVE AND THE BOLD #3 (of 4) (I knew it, I Ching is Crimson.)
EARTH-2: CLAW THE UNCONQUERED (Really digging into the history there.)
EARTH-2: THE LONG-BOW HUNTERS #3 (Nice to see Billy Badass.)
EARTH-2: THE PARASITE (Working for CIA's probably not too bad for a guy with no job.)
EARTH-2: SAGA OF THE SUPER SONS #3 (But does this Egg Fu look like a giant egg?)
EARTH-2: SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY, “Truel” #4 (of 7) (This is like Red Alert somehow)
EARTH-2: SEVEN SOLDIERS OF VICTORY, “Truel” #5 (of 7) (So are the Soviets not worried about Japan?)
EARTH-2: SUPERMAN #3
THE FLASH #24 *Earth-2 Tie-In*(They need a Turtle God to defeat China? Ming Dynasty must have been awesome on Earth-2.)
GREEN LANTERN #24 *Earth-2 Tie-In*(Demon Doomsday is exactly what we need right now.)
HAWKWOMAN AND HAWKMAN #2 (I'm thinking about how they sleep with wings on their back?)
HOUSE OF S #5
JUSTICE FOR ALL SEASONS #8
KAL: THE LAST SON #1 *All-New Limited Series* (Nice to see a new universe and a new talent!)
THE QUESTION #24 (Maybe now Brother Eye can become Sister Eye.)

[nx01a]

Make me one with everything!

[Exciter]

As always, get those last minute purchases in! Any purchase made before I get to tally the sales totals will count!

Plotters, get those solicitations in too!

THE FLASH #24 *Earth-2 Tie-In*(They need a Turtle God to defeat China? Ming Dynasty must have been awesome on Earth-2.)

That’s actual mythology so… I guess they were awesome on our Earth too!

[CaptCleghorn]

I shall buy them all. I shall also refresh this thread with comments in a few days as my schedule dies down.

Of course, the sales figures are hand tallied and subject to human error. If I have miscalculated any sales be assured that it was not intentional and, if brought to my attention, will be corrected ASAP.

We hope to see you all again next month! Sales victory will be rewarded handsomely! I will be updating reward points shortly.
