Slugfest | Act II of DC’s All In begins in March

New creators, storylines and title changes permeate through DC’s March titles.

Following the announcement of three new series coming in March as part of their Next Level initiative, DC today revealed what the post-DC K.O. universe will look like by sharing covers and information on their March titles. Their solicitations for that month, I believe, should arrive tomorrow, but today’s announcement will give you a good idea of what to expect from them.

Some of the changes and stories coming to their regular titles include:

  • In a world without Superman (Wha …?) the Superman titles will kick off a storyline called “Reign of the Superboys” that’ll feature Jon Kent, Superboy Prime, the young Clark Kent we’ve been seeing in Action Comics and more.
  • Titans becoming New Titans with issue #33 in March, with Tate Brombal and Sami Basri taking over the title
  • A 600th issue of Green Lantern featuring creators Jeremy Adams, Ron Marz, Xermanico, Darryl Banks and more
  • Ryan North and Gavin Guidry taking over as the creative team for The Flash
  • Denys Cowan joining Dan Watters on Nightwing
  • Aquaman being retitled Emperor Aquaman, as our hero heads to the stars
  • An alternative timeline story that’ll kick off in Wonder Woman, as she teams with her grown-up daughter Trinity to battle the Queen of America, the Matriarch
  • An oversized Batman #7 by Matt Fraction and Jorge Jiménez
  • Gotham City getting a new mayor who goes by the name Poison Ivy
