DC Release ‘Welcome To Metropolis’, The Prequel Junior Novel For ‘Superman’ Movie
DC Comics is releasing ‘Welcome to Metropolis’, The prequel junior novel for Gunn’s upcoming ‘Superman‘ movie. What better way to get younger audiences invested in the project and the character!?
The novel is 144 pages long and is set to be priced at $7.99, which is incredibly affordable to suit all. It is aimed towards readers aged 6-9. What I love about this, is the fact that the universe that DC Studios are building is going to be across several forms of media, so no matter what you prefer (comic books, novels, films or TV), there will be something for you.
