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

DC reveals more details on their ‘All In’ line-ups

The publisher has shared creative teams and cover art for three Absolute Universe titles, along with plans for several DCU series in the post-‘Absolute Power’ era.

If you missed the YouTube video yesterday, DC has revealed their next publishing initiative, All In, which will see several creative team changes and the birth of a whole new universe. Headed up by Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson, the Absolute Universe will come into being thanks to Darkseid in October’s All In one-shot.

And today DC revealed some of the creative teams you can expect to see on some of the Absolute titles and the regular DC titles.

Starting first with the DC Absolute Universe — which is what they’re calling it in the press release, so we can assume that’s the official name — the line will launch with Absolute Batman by Scott Snyder and Nick Dragotta, as revealed yesterday. The first issue will come out Oct. 9. It’ll be followed by Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman’s reinvention of Wonder Woman “from the ground up” in Absolute Wonder Woman #1, due out Oct. 23. Then you have Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval launching Absolute Superman #1 on Nov. 6.

“The creation of the AbsoluteUniverse is how I always imagined coming back to DC, and DC All In will be a great jumping-on point for new readers as well as lapsed fans to discover new stories to love and the chance to explore the new directions in store for DC’s core series lineup,” Snyder said in the press release.

Here’s more details and cover art for those titles, along with several DCU titles (which they refer to as the “Core Line” in the press release):

‘Absolute Power’ corrupts absolutely in DC’s July titles

Amanda Waller and friends have big plans for DC’s heroes and villains.

DC has revealed more details about their upcoming Absolute Power crossover series, including a companion series titled Absolute Power: Task Force VII and Absolute Power: Origins, which will tell the “definitive history” of Amanda Waller.

These follow the Free Comic Book Day issue in May and the prelude issue that comes out in June that we learned about earlier this year.

The press release also gives some information on Amanda Waller and the Trinity of Evil‘s plans — using Failsafe, Brainiac Queen and Amazo to capture the super powers of every superhero and villain on Earth. As a squad of Amazo robots captures the powers of DC’s mightiest heroes, leaving them powerless, a “league” of resistors led by Batman starts to form. Each issue of Absolute Power: Task Force VII will be by a different creative team and will be focused on a different Amazo who has stolen someone’s powers, including Last Son (Superman), Depth Charge (Aquaman) and Jadestone (Green Lantern).

You can find more details on Absolute Power and the tie-ins below.

The two titles will celebrate their 800th issues before being relaunched as part of the Dawn of DC publishing initiative.

With both Wonder Woman and The Flash reaching their 800th issues in June, DC will release oversized, final issues of the current series. They’ll be followed in September by new series launched for both characters.

The current team of Jeremy Adams, Fernando Pasarin and Oclair Albert will be joined by several writers with some pretty heavy ties to the character — Mark Waid, Geoff Johns and Joshua Williamson. Artist Scott Kolins also returns to the character, along with artists Todd Nauck, Carmine Di Giandomenico and Mike Deodato Jr. — who will also draw the new Flash series kicking off this fall.
