Matt Fraction + Jorge Jiménez will helm a Batman relaunch in September

“Jorge and I have a very superhero-forward kind of take on Batman.”

DC Comics announced at this week’s ComicsPro meeting that Hawkeye and Sex Criminals writer Matt Fraction will join Jorge Jiménez on Batman in the fall.

The title will launch with a new first issue in September, following the completion of Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee’s Hush sequel.

“I wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t for Batman. It was the first comic I ever read,” said Fraction. “Jorge and I have a very superhero-forward kind of take on Batman. We’ve got a new Batmobile, we’ve got a new costume, we’ve got new characters, and we’ve got a lot of old ones too—good and bad; all the stuff that makes Batman the coolest character in comics. We want to celebrate it all.”

Sophie Campbell will write and draw a new Supergirl series

The Woman of Tomorrow will return to Midvale to confront an imposter Supergirl in May.

Supergirl will return to her own series later this year courtesy of Wet Moon creator and former Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles writer/artist Sophie Campbell.

The new series will debut in May, with Campbell both writing and drawing it. The “Summer of Superman” tie-in series will find Supergirl back in Midvale, the suburb of Metropolis where she used to live, dealing with a mysterious imposter Supergirl who is now protecting the town.

“I came up in the comics industry doing mostly graphic novels that I wrote and drew myself, so doing the same with Supergirl feels like I’m returning to my storytelling roots,” said Campbell. “My main touchstones to Kara Zor-El were the stories and the wild costumes from the 70’s, the 1984 Supergirl movie, and the CW show, which I was a huge fan of. In creating this version of Supergirl, I’ll be drawing on some of those influences as the series unfolds.”
