DC is keeping out the summertime blues with a full line-up of all-new books, novels, and special releases that will be hitting comic shops on Tuesdays with something for everybody featuring fan-favorites and the World’s Greatest Super Heroes!
The warm weather season isn’t exactly looking like it’ll be bright beach weather days and frosty double-dipped ice cream cones by sundown. Stickball along the concrete curb and courtside quarrels over who wore the Bat Suit best (Affleck or Keaton? Dick Grayson or Bruce Wayne? Definitely Kate Kane!) will more likely be a debate left for 2021. After all WB is pushing its entire blockbuster line-up, so both The Batman and The CW’s Batwoman may have to wait to get in on the ballot.
What fans can count on, is a whole line-up of new books! June is shaping up as a huge publishing hit for the DC with a series of ongoing adventures, highly anticipated graphic novels and all-new collected volumes ready to fill the imaginative void that might strike even the most expert social isolationist among us. DC is delivering on epic story-arcs from James Tynion IV with the June 9 release of Batman #92 which is bringing The Designer’s mad scheme to a close. Audiences who have been following this thread are no doubt mesmerized by this new Bat-nemesis!
If you’re looking for something to appeal to your bombastic-widescreen sensibilities, strap yourself in as Dark Night: Death Metal brought to you by the blockbuster team of Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo unveil the first issue of the earth-shattering sequel to their epic Metal series as the Justice League find themselves at the mercy of none other than The Batman Who Laughs and his dominion of the Dark Multiverse. This is going to a brawl for the ages that is promising the span the DC multiverse with the fate of mankind hanging in the balance.
June also marks the milestone 80th Anniversary of The Joker with a 100-Page Super Spectacular in the works and a tome celebrating 8 decades of the Clown Prince of Gotham with original works from today’s greatest talents and classic tales that remind us all why this villain is unparalleled in and annals of infamy, and will always be heralded as one of DC’s greatest characters.
