Wizard #160 Rings in 2005
week of 11/1/2004


WIZARD #160 (Rumor) (Jan 2005)
One big announcement from DC Comics and three dynamic covers inspired by its comics and film characters will greet fans when Wizard Entertainment ushers in 2005 with Wizard: The Comics Magazine #160.

Wizard will ring in the New Year with a report on a special, exclusive announcement from DC Comics that will be loaded with information and analysis. What's more, Wizard will also welcome back Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps with a special feature on DC's plans for the returning hero under writer Geoff Johns and artist Ethan Van Sciver, plus an exclusive Green Lantern Cover (NOV042252, $4.99) by Van Sciver.

DC characters will also be well-represented on Wizard #160's other two covers. One will be a world premiere Batman Begins Photo Cover (NOV042251, $4.99), heralding exclusive news and new photos from the set of the eagerly awaited action-adventure film. The other will glimpse the film adaptation of the DC/Vertigo hit Hellblazer with a limited Constantine Photo Cover (NOV042253, $4.99) showcasing the film's star, Keanu Reeves.

The issue will also contain a Mega-Preview of 2005 comics from DC, Dark Horse, Image and Marvel; a look ahead to such eagerly awaited films as The Fantastic Four; an interview with top creators at Marvel Comics about their plans for 2005, including the introduction of the company's newest superstar artists in the Young Guns titles; a feature on Mark Waid & Marc Silvestri's upcoming Hunter-Killer series; and more.

Wizard #160 is slated to ship on December 22.
