GEN13 relaunch starts with 13-cent issue

DC Comics and WildStorm Productions will relaunch GEN13 in July with a #0 issue that will cost just 13 cents.

The 32-page preview issue includes a new 12-page story that lays the foundation for Gen13's rebirth, courtesy of the creative team of the upcoming series: writer Chris Claremont and artist Ale Garza. The issue introduces a new threat to the WildStorm Universe, one that DC says "will change the concept of Gen13 forever."

The series will feature new characters, locales and villains.

"Chris and Ale have really put their all into the all-new, all-different GEN13, and I've been blown away by the results," says Jim Lee, WildStorm's editorial director and original GEN13 artist. "Now that the price will be a mere 13 cents, everyone will have a chance to check it out and weigh in with their vote on this summer's hottest launch!"

GEN13 #0 will also contain two four-page vignettes from two other upcoming WildStorm series, 21 DOWN and THE RESISTANCE.

21 DOWN, a series that's linked to events in GEN13, is written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray, with art by Jesus Saiz and Palmiotti.

THE RESISTANCE is also by writers Palmiotti and Gray, with art by Juan Romano Cano.

GEN13 #0 hits stores on July 3. Copies of the issue also will be given away to attendees at the DC booth at the Wizard World: Chicago and Comic-Con International: San Diego conventions.
