This book is about Charlie, an eleven year old living in the quiet town of Greenview, a name which says it all. Writers Matt Anderson and Eric Hutchins make a very convincing character out of Charlie. This kid is me at that age. When Charlie is brave enough to enter an abandoned farmhouse all alone, he is rewarded with a real treasure, the dream of every kid who walks the earth. What he finds seems to be a sophisticated remote control, and without caring about any consequences, he just takes it home. And then he pushes the red button… Never, ever push a red button. It's sure trouble coming your way.
Starting in February 2008, the comic book adventures of Zorro are published by Dynamite Entertainment with Matt Wagner as the writer and art director accompanied by Francesco Francavilla as the artist. It closely follows the Isabel Allende rendition of the Zorro's story, rather than the most canonical one, including the ethnicity of Don Diego de la Vega changed from a Spanish to a mestizo, the origins of Regina de la Vega as Toypurnia and Lechuza Blanca's role into planting the seeds for Diego turning into Zorro, but diverges to include some more known parts of the Zorro mythology and remove some characters.
Grimm Fairy Tales is a comic book series published by Zenescope Entertainment that began publication in June 2005. It is a horror series that takes old fairy tales and gives them twists, sometimes extending them and sometime changing them.
Today's teenagers have enough problems to deal with. And that's where Sela comes in. She offers insight to their problems by showing them that it could be worse. She comes across one young person at a time and helps them through their problems, by telling them a story. Sela gained her abilities and her book from an ancient being and granted her powers for the sole purpose of helping humanity, even if her advice might sometimes fall onto deaf ears. Sela has taken on many appearances and names, but one of her alternate identities that she frequently uses is Dr. Mathers, a teacher. Besides this, Sela is well known as appearing as a young woman with long black hair and glasses.

Fables is an ongoing Vertigo comic book series created and written by Bill Willingham, starting in 2002. The series deals with various characters from fairy tales and folklore – referring to themselves as "Fables" – who have been forced out of their Homelands by a mysterious enemy known as the Adversary. They have traveled to our world and formed a clandestine community in New York City known as Fabletown. Fables who are unable to blend in with human society (such as monsters and anthropomorphic animals) live at "the Farm" in upstate New York. It takes place in a continuity of its own, and is unrelated to the larger DC Comics continuity. Willingham reinterpreted many of the characters, evident in the divorce of Snow White and Prince Charming due to his infidelity. The former is deputy mayor of Fabletown as the series begins. Another principal character is the Big Bad Wolf (calling himself "Bigby"), who has not only reformed, but gained the ability to take on human appearance, and serves as Fabletown's sheriff at the series' beginning. Earlier story arcs each take on the form of a different genre: the first is a murder mystery, the next a conspiracy thriller, and then a caper story.

The Outsiders are fictional characters, a DC Comics superhero team. As its name suggests, the team consists of superheroes who allegedly do not fit the norms of the mainstream superhero community, namely the Justice League. The Outsiders have had three different incarnations over the years. They were founded by Batman, whose ties to the League had become strained. In its most recent formation, the group's leadership was relinquished by Nightwing to Batman, who recruited former members as well as new additions. He has stated his intent to use the team as a black ops version of the Justice League, able to take the proverbial "fall" in public opinion where the League cannot. Outsiders volume 3, almost completely unrelated to the previous series, was launched in 2003, featuring new members, some of whom had previously been part of the Titans. The series was cancelled with issue 50 and relaunched as Batman and the Outsiders (vol. 2), featuring a mix of current and new members.
In the weeks leading up to the new series debut, Batman holds tryouts to determine who will be on the team in a series of one-shots called Five of a Kind. Each issue featured a different creative team (including Outsiders creator Mike W. Barr), as well as an epilogue written by Tony Bedard. Batman angers several members who feel he has no right to remove people already on the team.

The Justice League, sometimes called the Justice League of America or JLA for short, is a fictional DC Comics superhero team. First appearing in The Brave and the Bold #28 (1960), the League originally appeared with a line-up that included Superman, Batman, Wonder Woman, Flash, Green Lantern, Aquaman and the Martian Manhunter. However, the team roster has been rotated throughout the years with the recognizable characters Green Arrow, Atom, Hawkman, Black Canary, Captain Marvel, Plastic Man and dozens of others.
One year after the events of Infinite Crisis, Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman reunite in the Batcave to re-form the League in Justice League of America #0, the kick-off for a new series by Brad Meltzer and Ed Benes. They select a number of heroes including Captain Marvel, Power Girl and Cyborg, but eventually wind up with Green Lantern (Hal Jordan), Black Canary, Red Arrow (Green Arrow's former sidekick), Red Tornado, Vixen, Black Lightning, and Hawkgirl after a large team-up and fight against Solomon Grundy and Amazo, and decide to stick with the lineup fate has provided rather than the one they chose (an idea similar to the formation of the Marvel Comics team The New Avengers). The three founders built a new headquarters for the Justice League, consisting of two buildings linked by a transporter. The first site is The Hall, located in Washington D.C. at the location of the Justice Society of America and the All-Star Squadron's former headquarters.
The Lightning Saga is a comic book crossover story arc that took place in DC Comics' two flagship team books: Justice League of America and Justice Society of America. It was written by Brad Meltzer and Geoff Johns, and illustrated by Ed Benes, Dale Eaglesham, and Shane Davis.

Throughout the years, various incarnations or subsections of the team have also operated as Justice League America, Justice League Europe, Justice League International, Justice League Task Force, Justice League Elite, and Extreme Justice.
On December 6, 2006 a new series was launched with the creative team of Geoff Johns (writer), Dale Eaglesham (pencils), and Alex Ross (cover art). According to a pre-release interview in Newsarama, Alex Ross also has the "honorary" title of "creative advisor". The beginning of the new series shows JSA veterans Flash, Green Lantern and Wildcat choosing members of the new generation of superheroes to train. Continuing a major theme from the previous JSA title, this new series focuses on the team being the caretakers of the superhero legacy from one generation to the next.
I collected all original and variant covers for JSA 01-13. I hope I wan't offend any scanner cause I took covers from their scans. I sort them by numbers but I didn't alter it in any other way. I'm freak for variants and if there's anybody out there like me, this will be useful. If somebody finds my post offensive, please PM me to delete it. Thanx to every DCP and MinuteMen member who's cover is inside this pack.

Green Lantern: Rebirth was a six-issue monthly American comic book limited series written by Geoff Johns and illustrated by Ethan Van Sciver. Published by DC Comics between October 2004 and May 2005, the series featured characters from throughout the sixty year history of Green Lantern comics.
The storyline follows the "rebirth" of the Silver Age Green Lantern Hal Jordan as he overcomes fear itself in the form of the cosmic entity Parallax. The series starred various members of the intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps, including Alan Scott, Kyle Rayner, John Stewart and Guy Gardner. It revived elements of the Green Lantern mythos including the Guardians of the Universe, Kilowog and the villain Sinestro, while introducing new concepts such as the emotional spectrum.

Green Lantern is the name of several fictional characters, superheroes appearing in comic books published by DC Comics. The first (Alan Scott) was created by writer Bill Finger and artist Martin Nodell in All-American Comics #16 (July 1940). Each Green Lantern possesses a power ring that gives the user great control over the physical world as long as the wielder has sufficient willpower and strength to wield it. While the ring of the Golden Age Green Lantern (Alan Scott) was magically powered, the rings worn by all subsequent Lanterns were technological creations of the Guardians of the Universe, who granted such rings to worthy candidates. These individuals made up the intergalactic police force known as the Green Lantern Corps.
