DC Comics Announce ‘DC FUTURE STATE’
DC has just announced FUTURE STATE and well it’s safe to say that this is HUGE news. It’s a two month line-wide event that is set to begin in January 2021. This event will be a mix of monthly and twice monthly over-sized anthologies, as well as a monthly mini-series and one-shots.
Here is the official ‘blurb’ from DC Comics:
DC Future State spotlights the World’s Greatest Super Heroes in fresh new roles, with all-new characters taking up their iconic mantles. DC Future State features an incredible array of creative talent, combining award-winning writers and artists with new voices from the worlds of TV, movies and animation. In March 2021, the regular DC title lineup resumes, continuing existing story lines from 2020 and introducing new arcs for the year.
In DC Future State, the Multiverse has been saved from the brink of destruction, but the triumph of DC’s heroes has shaken loose the very fabric of time and space! The final chapter of Dark Nights: Death Metal (on sale January 5, 2021) brings new life to DC’s Multiverse, kicking off this glimpse into the unwritten worlds of DC’s future!
“The DC Universe has always been fertile ground for new and refreshing takes on our characters, and DC Future State definitely contributes to this legacy,” said DC Executive Editor Marie Javins. “When the event begins in January, some savvy readers will not only pick up on some of the breadcrumbs that have already been tossed out in our current titles, but they will also find new hints and clues of what’s to come in 2021.”
The most exciting part of this is that there is plenty of Superman Family content to come out of this, which includes brand new story lines, new mini-series and new one-shots!
