This new series, distributed by Dark Horse, features characters from the most influential film in decades, The Matrix. The series will concentrate on characters from the original film and the two sequels scheduled for 2003. It is only fitting that the initial release be the main character NEO. Portrayed by Keanu Reeves, this sculpture is based upon actual three-dimensional scans of the actor himself. Joining Neo will be none other than the dangerous and beautiful Trinity. Portrayed in the films by Carrie-Ann Moss, she is as close to reality as is possible in a sculpture. Based on actual three-dimensional computer scanning, the realism extends even to details like her sun glasses, which like Neo's are removable. Each bust will be packaged in deluxe special packaging, and will be a numbered, limited edition. Exact edition size has not been finally determined by Gentle Giant as of press time.

BIRDS OF PREY: CATWOMAN/BATGIRL — CATWOMAN/ORACLE One woman fought crime valiantly as Batgirl before finding a new role as the all- seeing Oracle. The other stalked the dark streets of Gotham as Catwoman, earning a living by stealing from the rich. Now they must forge an uneasy alliance in a 2-part Prestige Format miniseries titled BIRDS OF PREY: CATWOMAN/BATGIRL and BIRDS OF PREY: CATWOMAN/ORACLE. Written by John Francis Moore (CATWOMAN, BATMAN FAMILY), these two special issues explore the relationship between the diametrically opposed vigilantes in the past and present. The first part, BIRDS OF PREY: CATWOMAN/BATGIRL, featuring art and cover by Darick Robertson (TRANSMETROPOLITAN) and Jimmy Palmiotti (21 DOWN) with a cover by Robertson, takes place in the past, when Barbara Gordon filled the role of Batgirl. Part 2 — BIRDS OF PREY: CATWOMAN/ORACLE — features art by Dave Ross (BIRDS OF PREY, Daredevil) and Palmiotti and covers an encounter in the present, with Gordon now acting as Oracle. When a string of prostitute murders baffles the Gotham police, the two women come together in an effort to stop the heinous crimes. But their investigation brings them face to face with a greater evil than either of them could ever imagine or hope to defeat alone. Can these women successfully overcome their opposing natures to defeat a common enemy, or will their differences lead them to destruction? This project is supported with trade and house ads. BIRDS OF PREY: CATWOMAN/BATGIRL and BIRDS OF PREY: CATWOMAN/ORACLE form a 2-part Prestige Format miniseries edited by Matt Idelson.

WAR STORY: ARCHANGEL RAF Flight Officer Jamie McKenzie has the worst luck. VERTIGO's WAR STORY: ARCHANGEL — the final issue in this round of Garth Ennis' critically acclaimed war comics — features the exquisite art of Gary Erskine (THE AUTHORITY, Star Wars: Requiem for a Rogue) and tells the story of McKenzie as he trains and takes flight in the midst of World War II. Everyone knows that the Japanese had kamikaze pilots, but no one knows about their British counterparts, the CAMship (Catapult-Armed Merchantmen). Due to a shortage of aircraft carriers in 1942, the British began strapping obsolete, single- passenger fighter planes to ancient freighters and tankers, cramming them full of ammunition, and launching them by highly volatile rockets tied to each wing. But here's the kicker: The pilot must engage the enemy until his ammo is gone, then attempt to land with whatever fuel left or bail out into the sea and hope to be picked up. Not quite kamikaze, but just as crazy. After ticking off his squadron leader, Jaime is "volunteered" for training on the new CAMships. McKenzie has the worst luck, but sometimes bad luck is better than no luck at all. WAR STORY: ARCHANGEL reflects the "by any means necessary" attitude adopted by the Allied Powers in the struggle to defeat Hitler and his forces. Don't miss this powerful issue! This project is supported with house ads and a minisite at www.dccomics.com. WAR STORY: ARCHANGEL is a 64-page VERTIGO one-shot edited by Will Dennis and is suggested for mature readers.

H-E-R-O What would you do if you had powers beyond comprehension? If you could soar high above the earth with the birds? If you could move objects just by thinking about it? Would you help others? Make some cash? Or just have some fun? What if you found a device that gave you such powers? H-E-R-O — a new ongoing DCU series that poses these questions to everyday people working everyday jobs and living everyday lives — is written by Will Pfeifer (FINALS, BIZARRO COMICS) with art by Kano (ACTION COMICS) and painted covers by John Van Fleet (BATMAN: THE CHALICE). In H-E-R-O, each person's attitude toward newfound power varies, and those solutions won't always be right ones. Jerry Feldon is one of those people. He's a young man living in a town where prosperity and industry have dried up, stuck in a lousy job without a future. A brush with Superman makes him even more depressed — Jerry could never be like him. And Jerry's depression is driving him toward one fateful decision, one he can never change. That is, until he finds a device that changes him. It gives him power. It gives him hope. But is that enough? Updating the popular and classic DC concept DIAL "H" FOR HERO, this new series isn't just about Jerry Feldon. Rather, it's a series of story arcs exploring many different ordinary people who, thanks to the H-E-R-O device, become extraordinary. This project is supported with a preview insert in selected November in-store books, trade and house ads, and a minisite at www.dccomics.com.

WONDER WOMAN #189 Now that writer/penciller Phil Jimenez has ended his acclaimed run on WONDER WOMAN, readers are wondering what triumphs and tragedies lie ahead for the Amazon Princess. February's WONDER WOMAN #189 brings the first glimpse of the answer, as the all-star team of writer Walter Simonson (ORION, Thor), interior artists Jerry Ordway (PLANETARY/JLA: TERRA OBSCURA) & P. Craig Russell (THE SANDMAN, The Ring of the Nibelung) join longtime WONDER WOMAN cover artist Adam Hughes for an extraordinary 6-part story: "The Game of the Gods." It's been weeks since anyone has seen Wonder Woman, and a world begins to fear it has lost its greatest heroine. Of course, Diana is not dead…although she is being buried in the Cryptocombs — a strange, otherworldly space that serves as the Cemetery of the Gods. Bereft of her memories, shorn of her powers and lacking her traditional costume, lasso and bracelets, Wonder Woman must rely on her Amazonian training as she fights her way out of the grave, battling a sea of foes and struggling to protect a strange statue of a baby girl, sculpted from clay. What caused this strange split between Diana's mortal and immortal selves? How will Wonder Woman make her way back to the land of the living and regain her memories? Who are the new heroines striving to aid Diana in her quest? And what staggering sacrifice must be made to save creation from the menace known only as "The Shattered God?" The most shocking Wonder Woman story in recent memory begins in February! This project is supported with house ads. WONDER WOMAN is an ongoing series edited by Ivan Cohen.
