MATTHEW\\n
INFINITE FRONTIER #1\\n
Writer: Joshua Williamson\\n
Artist: Xermanico\\n

Cover Price: $4.99\\n
Release Date: June 22, 2021

\\n\\n

When our heroes saved the Multiverse from Perpetua in Dark Nights: Death Metal, everything was put back where it belonged...and we do mean everything. All the damage from all the Crises was undone, and heroes long thought gone returned from whatever exile they had been in.

\\n\\n

Most of them, at least.

\\n\\n

Alan Scott, the Green Lantern from the Justice Society of America, has noticed some of his allies are still missing in action and he\\u2019s determined to find them. There are others, though, who would rather remain hidden than explain themselves, like Roy Harper, a.k.a. Arsenal, a man who should be dead but now is not. Plus, what does all this mean for the DCU\\u2019s place in the Multiverse? On opposite sides of a dimensional divide, both Barry Allen and President Superman ponder this question. Not to mention the Darkseid of it all! Or a team of Multiversal heroes called Justice Incarnate!\\n

THIS ONE SUMMER\\n
Writer: Mariko Tamaki\\n
Artist: Jillian Tamaki\\n
Publisher: Groundwood Books\\n
Every summer, Rose goes with her mom and dad to a lake house in Awago Beach. It\'s their getaway, their refuge. Rosie\'s friend Windy is always there, too, like the little sister she never had. But this summer is different. Rose\'s mom and dad won\'t stop fighting, and when Rose and Windy seek a distraction from the drama, they find themselves with a whole new set of problems. One of the local teens - just a couple of years older than Rose and Windy - is caught up in something bad... Something life threatening.

\\n\\n

It\'s a summer of secrets, and sorrow, and growing up, and it\'s a good thing Rose and Windy have each other.\\n
