Im April beendet DC COMICS sechs seiner 52 Neustart- Serien jeweils mit der 8. Ausgabe: Men Of War, Mister Terrific, O.M.A.C., Hawk And Dove, Blackhawks and Static Shock. DC verspricht, das alle diese Serien ein "richtiges Ende" haben werden und wir die Charactere zukünftig in anderen DCU Heftserien wiedersehen werden.
Im darauffolgenden Monat (Mai) erwartet uns dann als quasi "Ersatz" für die beendeten Serien DC COMICS-THE NEW 52 “The Second Wave” (folgende Synopsen direkt via DCs "The Source"):
