 When
I was growing up my favorite Saturday Morning TV stop was the Super Friends on
ABC. Between the first and second season the "three teenage Super Friends:
Wendy, Marvin and Wonder Dog" were replaced by the aliens: Zan, Jayna and their
pet monkey Gleek. While Super Friends featured the JLA each week none of these
sidekick companions were ever mentioned in the comic pages until now. From the hit animated series from the 1970's to the pages of their own comic,
writer Mark Russell and artist Stephen Byrnea complete the journey of forty
years and an untold number of crisis with Wonder Twins #1. Exiled from their home planet, alien
heroes Zan and Jayna must navigate life as teens on Earth at South Metropolis
High School, where they're even bigger outsiders than the typical awkward young
adults. Under the watchful eye of Superman, the brother and sister pull monitor
duty at the Hall of Justice as interns, while also trying to overcome the
pitfalls of Zan's brash confidence and Jayna's shy but streetwise persona. If
you think you know the Wonder Twins, think again-this book takes the form of the
unexpected.
It all begins with WONDER TWINS #1 (OF 6) which ships with TWO standard variant
covers and is currently scheduled to arrive
on New Comic Wednesday-021319 with a $3.99 cover price. As always it will be
Alternate Reality "1st Day Sale" priced at 25% OFF ($2.99!) on
the 13th and 15% OFF for the rest of its first week of release ($3.39!) while
supplies last!
