DC Comics Announce Three Brand New ‘Next Level’ Comic Series
DC Comics have just announce three brand new ‘Next Level’ comic series which are set to launch later this year, those titles are ‘Legion Of Super-Heroes’, ‘Teen Titans’ and ‘The Doom Patrol’. These three new ongoing comic series acts as a major expansion of DC’s ‘Next Level’ publishing initiative and also marks the latest evolution of the line. Up until now the recent launches of this line have proven a huge success and now, DC is continuing with the second act.
‘Legion Of Super-Heroes #1‘ is set to be written by Joshua Williamson, with art by Hayden Sherman and is a 40-page debut issue. The series is set one thousand years after the Last Son of Krypton’s rocket crashed on the Kent Farm comes a new future inspired by the Man of Tomorrow. But this new future is in danger! Superheroes are outlawed! Deadly enforcers known as the Persuaders keep the populace of the United Planets in check! Worlds are at war! And this dark tomorrow’s last glimmer of hope, R.J. Brande, has been brutally murdered. Can the mysterious Brainiac 1 of 5 solve Brande’s murder? To restore hope to the universe, he must assemble a legion of gifted young rebels from across the cosmos! But they are scattered across the universe! There will be covers available by Hayden Sherman, Jim Lee, Mark Spears, Yasmine Putri, Dan Mora and V Ken Marion.
‘Teen Titans #1’ will be written by Kyle Higgins, with art by Daniele Di Nicuolo and is a 32 page debut issue. Here’s the official synopsis from DC: “When one of their own vanishes after attending a rally for Ascend—a fast-growing youth movement training kids to survive in a world shaped by superhuman conflict—Fairplay, Cheshire Cat, Proxy, and Wildcard will do whatever it takes to find their friend, including teaming up with Red Hood! Jason thinks they’re soft and reckless. They don’t understand how he can still kill people. Now they have to work together—whether they like it or not!” There will be covers available by Daniele Di Nicuolo, Dan Mora, Hayden Sherman, Sanford Greene and Jim Cheung.
And finally, ‘The Doom Patrol #1’ is set to be written by Darcy Van Poelgeest, with art by Niko Henrichon and is a 32 page debut issue. Here’s the official synopsis from DC: “The Doom Patrol is broke. Adopting a heroes-for-hire business model to stave off financial and emotional ruin, the team finds itself responding to what seems like a simple case—a missing cat. But when this case proves to be far from simple, the world’s strangest heroes find themselves pulled into a truly out-of-this-world situation! And elsewhere, beyond the view of Robotman, Elasti-Girl, and Negative Man—and perhaps even beyond the veil of our reality—a ghost of the team’s past is preparing to cross into their world.” There are covers available by Niko Henrichon, Clayton Crain, Ian Bertram, Ashley Wood and Hayden Sherman.
And that’s not all! DC have also warned fans that even more ‘Next Level’ announcements are soon to be announced in the coming months. ‘Legion Of Super-Heroes’, ‘Teen Titans’ and ‘The Doom Patrol’ are set to release on Wednesday 2nd September and are available to pre-order right now from your local comic shop.
