"Playin' God" Part 1 of 3

• John Constantine has big plans for "his" JUSTICE LEAGUE. He knows he can lead the team down paths never used before and reach their destiny as the greatest heroes ever. He continues his manipulations of new members, Mightor, Vixen, Stanley and his Monster. However, he's found strong opposition of his tactics and general suspicion from the others especially Hal Jordan aka Green Lantern. Will a League vote called by Constantine get rid of Hal due to his divided loyalty to the Guardians and Earth as well as the limited time he can spend on Earth? It may have been a longshot except he has a more dependable Lantern to replace him, the living planet Green Lantern ..Mogo?!?

• The Justice League's Cyborg now has access to all the knowledge once contained in Brainiac. This gives him and the League the ultimate advantage against any of their enemies, but there is one blindspot. Cyborg can't access the hidden lair of the clandestine organization Caduceus, a powerful secret alliance of members of CADMUS and S.T.A.R. Labs. In particular there is a room that does not actually a exist, with walls of light that are not of this world. There is man inside the room who can actually see Cyborg and is trying to contact him, his name is Dr. Manhattan!

"Secrets"

• The Brainiac Apocalypse is over, and Clark couldn't be happier to get back to normal. Cyborg reports that most of the nanites have been destroyed, and the world can rest easy from further attacks as they rebuild their cyber infrastructures. One piece of Brainiac tech remains, and Superman stores it in the fortress for safe keeping.
• When Clark returns to the Daily Planet, he notices for the first time in years just how revitalized the old newspaper is; the run-down and near bankrupt building he first entered 5 years ago seems like a distant memory. Upon seeing Clark, Lois throws her arms around him and she hugs him harder than she ever has. Clark, unsure what this means, hugs her back. Before they can talk about it, Perry White bursts in about a bomb in an elevator uptown. Lois runs to cover the story, while Clark makes excuses to leave as Superman.
• Across town Mayor Lionel Luthor looks on, having survived the attempt to throw him out of office. He knows that the city is technologically vulnerable, and as the Owner of LuthorCorp he has the means to help. His son, Lex, although he had received the position of CEO when Lionel became Mayor, remains at odds with his father and plots to undermine him from within. Unknown to Lionel, Lex begins Project NEO beneath the Salt Flats of Utah...step one: using the newly acquired blueprints stolen from SteelWorks! (see June's Action #12!).
• Later, Clark asks Lois to take a walk to discuss the hug. Lois explains that she was just happy to see him. Clark, knowing the "perfect time" will never exist, asks Lois on a real, formal date. Imagine his shock when she smiles and says "Who's asking? Clark Kent...or Superman?"

A NEW CREATIVE TEAM. A NEW SLATE. EVERYTHING CHANGES HERE! THE SECRET IS ONLY THE BEGINNING...

"Missing Person"

Her Metropolis studio apartment is immaculate. Her bed always made. Her plants watered and her cat fed. However, substitute teacher Rhosyn "Rose" Forrest has not been seen by anyone for weeks. She's been missing ever since the burial of her father. He was a decorated police officer, who was killed in the line duty by an unknown assailant. At the same time a relentless, vigilante has been terrorizing the streets of Metropolis. Criminals have been found with all their bones broken and some have been found with missing limbs. It is hard to track this predator as there are different methods of assault from street fighting to hit and runs to explosions. The weapons used also vary, but are generally low-tech and sometimes medieval. The favorites seem to be daggers, baseball bats, broomsticks and duct tape. There seems to be no limit or line this vigilante wont cross. Only clues seems to be the habits of the "crimefighter" which includes malt liquor, menthol cigarettes, prostitutes and all sorts of "fun" vices. On the streets, the name is like an urban legend only whispered in fear...Thorn. Her real name is Rhosyn Forrest and she's been missing for weeks.

Together, they now manage portfolios of higher powers and metaphysical commodities: the wishes of all humanity. But what is their commission?
• While waiting for a signal from BLACK ORCHID who has infiltrated Strex's company, BLOODWYND talks about the visions sent to him from the Deadlands of a coming apocalypse while SHADE the CHANGING MAN explains his fears about the ontologically uncertain future of humanity's collective unconscious. And they both realize that URANIA BLACKWELL the ELEMENT GIRL's periodic mental state might not rest on an island of stability since she won't stop talking about RA and the return of an evil serpent that never dies.
• In the A.R.G.U.S. morgue, Shelly Kenmore tries unsuccessfully to make her son and husband believe that it's really her in the body of MITCH SHELLEY aka RESURRECTION MAN. Truth be told, she's having a difficult time believing it herself. She knows Mitch gets a random super power every time he is resurrected but can Shelly find out what it is before the A.R.G.U.S. agent who killed her murders her family, too? Does the new power have something to do with the thin gold cord coming from the back of her son's head that trails off into seeming nothingness?

Special Variant Cover by TRADD MOORE
"BROKEN ARROW"
South of Heaven, West of Hell, in the lost space in between, a place called Purgatory.

• Recap: Jesse Custer finds himself in a desert wasteland, dry and smoldering from the heat of seven suns. He searches for "The Town." He will need help to lead a charge against the occupying forces that are holding this dimension hostage, keeping all its lost souls as ransom, including Jesse's own mother. So far along his journey he has encountered John Wayne (who gifted him his signature ten gallon hat!), a cowardly grandfather he never knew in life (who disappeared in a cloud of sand?!?), and a demonic collie he thought was his friend but turned out a would-be assassin (and a headless one in the end). Now he wanders this strange land aided by a cynical ronin named Sanjuro and a hairy creature of freakish strength calling himself Captain Caveman.
• The inconceivable trio stumble across a wagon surrounded by gun-toting bandits.They hear screams from inside, the call of a damsel in distress. They survey the scene, a half-dozen wildmen circle the wagon and up in the distance, through the glare of several suns they see a slender dark figure. The outlaws look towards the shadowy one who signals them to attack. It's go time! Jesse, the Samurai and the Caveman charge the raiders. *SHIIING!* Sanjuro splits one in half with a single slice of his blade, *BONK!* Capt. Caveman crushes the skull of another with his club and brute strength, Jesse' draws his Colt .45, his eyes take on a crimson hue, his blood boiling hot, he feels the call of vengeance and anger for the first time in ages. The bandits see this, one lanky pale, blonde figure with sharp teeth in particular, a cold blooded killer no doubt calls for the others to scatter and run. Jesse gets a peculiar sense that he and this stranger have met before, in a previous life perhaps, but before he can act the marauders have ridden off towards their mysterious leader and disappear past the horizon.
• Jesse enters the wagon to alert the lady that the danger is over but is greeted by a dark-haired killer with a shotgun in her hand and rage in her stare, "You &#*$ fools! You know how long I have been tracking that b*+#h? I had her and you ruined it! I oughta blow your brains straight to hell but I reckon itn't do any good. What are you supposed to be anyway, Reverend?" Introducing Tallulah Black!
• Tallulah calms down and explains her quest to get even with the Bandits and their leader, a vicious vixen going by the name Pistolera. She set a trap to lure them in which Jesse and co. proceeded to interfere in unwittingly. Now they follow her trail...right into Indian Territory!
• Limbo legend has it that these bad lands are haunted by angry savages, the union of persecuted nations whose lives, land and traditions were massacred during their lives in the name of white man's progress. The New World built on their bones. Here, they do not compromise, they show no mercy. As our 4 "Heroes" set up camp in the cold darkness of setting suns, they see flames in the distance, the beating of battle drums. On guard, they hear hooves just out of sight, a war chant grows nearer...they are here....prepare for the scalping!
• To Be Continued Next Issue! Six Shooters, Tomahawks, Vampire Fangs, and a short, thick rope hanging from a tall, wicked tree...the noose is ready. Whose neck will it be?

....So the children desire to know if existence should continue or whether they should roll back Tomorrow's shores and wash the universe clean of life! I would show them the beauty of the Dream. To feel hope and strive for a better existence. But Desire thinks it amusing to scatter all of my arguments before me. Dream and Desire! We should be the closest of kin. We should represent potential and the continuos improvement of all. But Desire is selfish and wants nothing more then his own needs. And he needs to see me fail!
....Unfortunately for Desire I am not alone. The Children delivered my brother Destruction to my door and that has not pleased my little sister, Delirium. I thought she was acting all too lucidly for herself. She plans a madness beyond anything I thought her capable of!
....You see Desire, I too can become dark. Dreams are good for all living things, but a Dream can far too easily become a nightmare! I am well practiced in knowing the pure terror that only a Dream gone bad can bring. You cavort with the beings that hurt our brother, welcome to your nightmare. Our dear sister, stripped of all restraint!
....Death finally takes more then a passing interest in matters. I should help her rein in our sister before the madness goes too far. What will she drive the Children to? Can she prevent the shore of life's blood stripping reality bare? Or will she bathe it all in madness? Perhaps you should not have taken the view that the Children's existence outweighed ours, given their supposed role.
....Have I fallen prey to my sister's maddening effect?.....Why am I the only one who can see the logic behind the madness?....

"RISE..."
The Bat's path has been questioned and his City thrown into chaos. His own family has questioned his ways and methods and so the Batman does what he does best. He adapts to the situation and turns it to his advantage. If people are questioning what he's doing it means he's allowed room for questions to rise. The League's emergence into the chaos was all the extra fuel he needed to get the proper backing for his plan. The Bat will not simply react to the shadows anymore, he will hunt them down and drag them into the light before they can do any harm. Batman Incorporated is launched with immediate effect and with complete government backing. "Take back Gotham City, and everything you ask for is yours." Why did the government make this generous offer? They didn't want to be left out! Country by country the world is signing up to Batman Inc. and allowing the Bat to run their security. Did Cold Justice win? Perhaps so. He made Batman look at his legacy and realize there was so much more he could be doing. Hundreds of his handpicked agents go into action on the streets and Batman himself takes on Talia al Ghul as the Batman finally steps into the spotlight and says "No More!" It will be done his way, everything will be done his way.

Three weeks after being attacked by Anarky, Adrienne La Civita is scared. She hasn’t left her apartment in days and when she does, it’s always in disguise. The only people in Gotham she trusts are Clark Archer, who was attacked with her, and Tim Drake, neither of whom she’s heard from since she left the hospital.
Unlike Adrienne, Clark has tried to continue to go about his life since the attack. Doing everyday activites help alleviate the anxiety. He thinks things are going to be ok. That's when he is kidnapped.
Meanwhile Enrique Mendoza has started moving his people into Gotham, specifically the Narrows. The people in the Narrows are less likely to go to GCPD if they see strange things going on. In fact, Mendoza has a plan to keep both the GCPD and costumed vigilantes out of the Narrows altogether. 100 million dollars to the residents should be enough, and if not, there's more where that came from.
Helena, Jason, and Tim travel to Silicon Valley to witness the opening of Steelworks West. They also have a special request for Natasha as the new Director of Operations.

"Close Encounters"

The domestic situation in the residential building is over. A drunk husband has raised his fist to his wife for the last time, and a mother is going to jail. It's a cruel world, but one the Dark Knight is familiar with. He knows that the children will ultimately be better off.

Following a very brief meeting with 2 heroes from Metropolis (see 'Action' #13!), he continues his stakeout of Ms. Hunter. He finds her limo outside a designer store, and for a moment the detective wonders what she's buying. That's when he sees it: a beat up red van, across the street, hiding in an alley. He leaps into action, ready to end the Dumpster Killer once & for all. He tears open the rear doors...to find two teenagers, smoking marijuana, and looking for all the world like they just soiled themselves at the sight of him. He leaves them to their devices, and returns to the rooftops.

An hour later, Brooke Hunter is finished shopping. Taking breaks here and there to stop muggings and street crimes, Batman spends most of the night as her unofficial escort. By 2am, she's back home and tucked into bed, safe and sound. He makes a mental note to follow up the next day as Bruce Wayne, and heads home to the Cave.

Two miles away from Hunter's high-rise, in Gotham's lower east end, the Dumpster Killer is buying a hot dog. Hunting prey always makes him hungry, and he longs for his mothers cooking back home. He feels a bit of disappointment that this trip yielded only one successful hunt, but he knows that's just how it goes sometimes. As he gets back into his red van, he reaches into his glove box and removes a Polaroid picture. He gazes at the photo of Brooke as she's changing in the designer store's dressing room, knowing that there is always another day...

Vampire Wonder Woman & Vampire Green Lantern are dusted by the blast, with Vampire Superman receiving terrible burns but speeding away. He flies off into the darkness of outer space to heal...and to plan his revenge. Gar hits his knees, utterly spent & in need of a recharge of sunlight.

From the Black Casebook of Bruce Wayne

The superhero community was in shock. Not only were we no closer to identifying this robed figure, but we'd lost one of your most powerful, and one of our most loved, members. Zatanna was gone, and it was up to us to make sure it wasn't in vain.

The world continued to collectively panic; more than ever, people believed the "End of Days" were here. We quickly organized the various teams - the League, the Titans, the Outsiders , the Society, et al - and set out to scour the globe. Certainly there had to be signs of this "rapture" somewhere, anywhere, other than in Gotham. And then it happened...time jumped again. One moment we were standing in the Watchtower, the next I found myself standing in the foyer of Wayne Manor. A week had passed. But how? And why?
I wouldn't have long to think about it. I was alerted to a breakout at Arkham, led by the Scarecrow...just as I had seen it in the portal...

Hey everyone. This past June marked the 1st anniversary of NEW DAWN 2.0 and this month begins year 2. We had incredible storylines and series throughout the first year and we are going even further in year 2. I like to thank all of the excellent plotters, contributors and viewers of the New Dawn interactive experience. Just to take a look back, you can view how all the series and cool concepts began June of 2014 at http://community.comicbookresources....2-0-JUNE-2014!

Here's to a great year, and many more!

Everything already looks so great, and I'm feeling festive, so I'll take one of everything. Props to the Steel Dawn line for a strong showing this month!

EDIT: So, this is embarrassing, but going through my records I realized that I accidentally had two Issue #4s of Sensation Comics a while back! That means, all things adjusted, this month should be issue #7, not #6! If that can be fixed in the listings, I would appreciated it. My bad! I'll be more careful going forwards, I promise!
