DC PREVIEWS FOR MAY 7th 2008
Here's another DC preview for titles shipping this week - Rann/Thanagar: Holy War #1.

RANN/THANAGAR: HOLY WAR #1
Written by Jim Starlin
Art and variant cover by Ron Lim & Rob Hunter
Cover by Starlin & Hunter
After a seemingly endless war, things are getting even worse for the planets of Rann and Thanagar. A long-forgotten religious cult has resurfaced on Thanagar, and the people of Rann still worship the deadly Lady Styx. To make matters worse, a fanatic strapped with explosives threatens to upset the delicate balance between the two planets, setting in motion events that will once again bring together DC's greatest cosmic heroes: Adam Strange, Comet, Starfire, Hawkman, Starman, Chief Justice Max, Tigorr, the Weird and many more!
Written by the legendary Jim Starlin (Death of the New Gods, Infinity War) with art by Ron Lim (Silver Surfer) and Rob Hunter (Teen Titans), Rann/Thanagar: Holy War is an interstellar adventure that can't be missed!
