15 comic books we’ll kick back with this summer

polygon.com:

Ahh, summer, when a superhero’s fancy turns to crossover events. But there’s much more to this summer’s comics than superheroes slugging it out with villains — and even the slugfests look pretty fun!

As we look across the horizon of summer, we can see the long-awaited return of internet-favorite cartoonists, brilliant comics collected in book format for the first time, our favorite creators doing neat new things, beloved characters given new life, and even, maybe, something like a normal convention season.

Read on for Polygon’s most anticipated comics releases of summer 2022.

2022 was supposed to be the summer of The Flash, the long-gestating, timeline-shattering adaptation of DC’s 2011 Flashpoint storyline, and while parent company Warner Bros. was hit by scheduling problems, DC Comics at least stayed on track. Flashpoint Beyond returns to the company’s 2011 Flashpoint event, in which the Flash radically altered DC history by traveling back in time to prevent his mother’s murder.

Written by Flashpoint writer Geoff Johns with several artists contributing work, the six-issue story follows Thomas Wayne, the Batman of Flashpoint, as he solves the mystery of why his doomed timeline, supposedly reset at the end of Flashpoint, still exists.

Jurassic League is a six-issue miniseries about a world where the heroes and villains of the DC Universe are all anthropomorphic dinosaurs, inspired by Street Sharks, The Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Primal Rage, Genndy Tartakovsky’s Primal, and the horror-inspired sculptures of James Groman.

In it, Batman is an Allosaurus who walks like a man, and whose parents were regular Allosauruses who were murdered in front of him by a sentient Dilophosaurus named Jokerzard. You should require
