Slugfest | Baby Darkseid? DC’s October solicits reveal the villain’s untold past

Scott Snyder, Joshua Williamson, Sanford Greene and Yasmine Putri revisit the origins of the DC Universe’s greatest villain in October. Plus: new Batman, Superman and Justice League specials.

Slugfest is a roundup of cool announcements about projects coming to a shelf near you. This edition focuses on DC’s October titles. Hit the links for more info.

DC’s October solicitations came out during the Sam Diego Comic-Con, and I’ve been negligent and in doing this monthly round-up of the new stuff and highlights they contain. So, forgive me — I blame the con! And actually you’d think that after SDCC and all the news DC dropped that there wouldn’t be much to talk about, but don’t worry — there’s plenty, beyond even the stuff I already covered, like the new Demon and Jonah Hex titles.

Let’s start with one that was mentioned at SDCC, but the solicits give us a bit more info on it …

Slugfest | Bad Seed, Kingdom of Zod continue in DC’s September solicitations

Things go from bad to worse for Gotham as the Super family battles General Zod.

Slugfest is a roundup of cool announcements about projects coming to a shelf near you. This edition focuses on DC’s September titles. Hit the links for more info.

DC’s September line-up starts strong with the introduction of three new team titles, as they bring Legion of Super Heroes, New Teen Titans and the Doom Patrol back to their line-up. But wait — there’s more! The first month of fall also brings crossovers, Absolute developments and a new Halloween special.

Let’s start first with Batman: Bad Seeds, which gets its start in August but really goes into overdrive in September, as it runs through all the Batman titles and gets a couple of spinoff miniseries.

Mayor Poison Ivy declares war on Gotham in ‘Batman: Bad Seeds’ crossover event

The event will kick off in August before blooming across the Batman Family titles in September and October.

If you’ve been reading DC’s excellent Poison Ivy series, you know that 1) Pamela Isley, aka Poison Ivy, is now mayor of Gotham and 2) That isn’t exactly the kind of thing you think would go well, having a former (former?) Bat villain serving as mayor. It’s a powder keg, and it looks like it’s set to blow in Batman: Bad Seeds this August.

DC revealed more details about the event, which they first announced back in February at ComicsPro. It’ll feature Matt Fraction and G. Willow Wilson teaming up with a host of artists to tell the story of one really bad night for Gotham, which will spread into the other Bat titles over the course of 10 weeks.
