[SPEAKER_00]: This is Comic Book Club News for May 14, 2026.
[SPEAKER_00]: When Raider Jerry Duggan was on her live podcast last week, he indicated there was more to come from him at DC after his tales from the Green Lantern Corps special.
[SPEAKER_00]: Well, now we know at least one of those things is, or should we say one shot of those things is.
[SPEAKER_00]: As he and artist Fernando Blanco will take on next level one shot of 48 paid special from DC comics.
[SPEAKER_00]: In the special Pura press release from DC, Deadshot quote, covers a conspiracy that will change everything.
[SPEAKER_00]: Doug and in Blanco tell the tale of a job gone sideways, a father and his daughter in a web of super powered lies that stretches throughout the entire DC next level cast of characters and points in the direction of war on the horizon.
[SPEAKER_00]: This epic issue tells you everything you need to know about what's next for next level if you survive the experience.
[SPEAKER_00]: Curiously, the synopsis doesn't say whether this all ties into the next level titled Destrope the Terminator, which featured an appearance by Deadshot at the end of issue number two.
[SPEAKER_00]: It also seems to indicate that this will tie into a bigger story being seen throughout act two of the all-in initiative, which is what next level is part of.
[SPEAKER_00]: Similar perhaps to the absolute evil special for the absolute universe versus the fun character study of Guy Gardner and John Stewart, that dug and did in the Green Lantern Corps one shot.
[SPEAKER_00]: Next level one shot number one will hit stores on August 19, 2026.
[UNKNOWN]: Thank you.
[SPEAKER_00]: If there's one thing we all like, it's Buffy the Vampire Slayer.
[SPEAKER_00]: If there are two things, it's saving money.
[SPEAKER_00]: And now you can get Dynamite's Buffy the Vampire Slayer number one with even more pages for the same low price of 499.
[SPEAKER_00]: What's that you say?
[SPEAKER_00]: 499 for a whole comic?
[SPEAKER_00]: It's true.
[SPEAKER_00]: And instead of a regular size comic, this deluxe edition comes with all the fixons, staples, a cover, multiple actually, and even pages on the inside.
[SPEAKER_00]: But not just any pages, lots of pages.
[SPEAKER_00]: Specifically, while originally solicited for a normal size comic, the first issue will now contain 35 pages of story and run 48 pages total.
[SPEAKER_00]: But since the issue was originally solicited for less pages, it will stay at the original solicited price.
[SPEAKER_00]: Dynamite is promising, quote, in massive surprise, we swear not to spoil until after the first issue hit stores and customers' hands, you can find out what that is when Buffy the Vampire Slayer number one hit stores on July 22nd, 2026, now with more, more,
