This is (I believe) the first "Event" comic writer Brian Michael Bendis has created since his move to DC Comics - conveniently, the title of it is Event Leviathan.
It promises to be the kind of large-scale story such events require.
A mysterious entity known as Leviathan has violently taken out every covert operation in the DC Universe, including ARGUS, Kobra, Task Force X, D.E.O., and Spyral - all virtually at the same time, using a strange destructive force.
The story spins out of Superman's comic, but he's not in this issue - instead, the search for Leviathan's identity falls on several of DC's non-powered heroes, including Batman, Green Arrow, the Question and Lois Lane.
The art is by Alex Maleev, and it's wonderful, mood-drenched work.
The mystery is a challenging one, with lots of interesting twists and turns in this issue alone.
More than any other Event in recent memory, I'm looking forward to seeing where this one goes!
