INFINITE DAWN: Within the walls of reality, a thousand worlds await you!

The end of the year may be the end of everything as the Infinite Dawn faces The Unthinkable!

OLD YEAR'S FRIGHT #1 ***THE UNTHINKABLE HAPPENS***
'Unthinkable' part 1
Words: NX01A & CHINA MIÉVILLE, Art: MICHAEL ZULLI
•Everything that lives between the worlds is dangerous, but what of those who live outside the multiverse?
•ABIGAIL ARCANE has tried to suppress the power of the GRAY, the ROT that flows through her as its appointed avatar and queen, its CORPSE FLOWER as her uncle used to call her. The dread she feels and the visions she experiences this holiday season lead her to believe that her universe and everything beyond it are about to wilt and decompose into senseless, chaotic quantum foam. Together with her husband, SWAMP THING, and with considerable help from the PHANTOM STRANGER, Abby assembles elemental avatars from across the multiverse to her Earth 2 home in order to face this coming threat.
•But how do you fight something you can't conceive of much less understand? How do you stop something fed by your incomprehension of it and the ways it warps your perceptions and molests your reality? It is madness, it is entropy, it is... Unthinkable. And it is everywhere...

'Let It Snow' - A Planetary Story
Words: KINGKASARA & WARREN ELLIS, Art: DECLAN SHALVEY
*A special black and white tale*
•Elijah Snow doesn’t know he got here. He can’t remember anything before the Palace. A seemingly endless fractal labyrinth made of ice. He can’t feel the cold, but he can’t leave. And a voice in his head keeps telling him to just give in, give up, and let it all go... and something is stalking the halls, following him. Something Unthinkable.

While Superboy is out of action in the D.C. area 2 new heroes continue to make an impact. Due to his ability to effect people's memory, no recalls or speaks of metamorphic meta Elephant in the Room. However, his partner the refugee from Gorilla City called Apesh%t keeps law and order his way and D.C. is his sandbox. Neither of them is ready for the unstoppable force that is UNFRIEND!

One of everything for me, too.
Sorry I missed this month. Holdays have been hectic.

[Exciter]

Reading this month's solicitations I realized that I'm a sucker for characters with profanity in their superhero names. The Emerald ******* and Gorilla City's Apeshit really got me. Thinking hard about pitching gaff a "BATSHIT" book now...

Yeah, I like those type of names too, Exciter lol! I also like the double-meaning names too and Apesh%t fits the young hero from Gorilla City perfectly. I actually think "BATSHIT" is a cool and fun idea It was tough call regarding Burt Ward/Robin's fate, but if you have to go, go Sharknado! His death will lead to a few surprising developments esp for Adam West Batman.

The Adam West Batman gets the grimdark Jason Todd Red Hood as a sidekick. Make it happen. I'd pay real money.
