A classic series is about to make a comeback at DC, with Shadow of the Bat. But that’s not all, as new Vixen and Static books are in the works.
Batman returns
Okay, so Batman technically hasn’t gone anywhere. The DC superhero still looms large over the publisher, with multiple monthly books in production, across a pair of universes. That said though, there are a few Bat-titles from the past that haven’t been seen for while.
Take Shadow of the Bat for example. Debuting in 1992, the (writer) Alan Grant helmed book ran throughout the rest of that decade, before concluding in 2000. It played a big part in Bat-lore from the 90s too, serving in multiple crossover events, and even introducing a few new characters. However, since the turn of the millennium, it’s only been seen in paperback collections.
If you were a fan though, stand by, because Shadow of the Bat is coming out of retirement. DC made the reveal at SDCC this past weekend, taking the wraps off of a total of three new comic series’. Other than the Batman title, there will also be fresh runs for Vixen and Static.
We don’t know much about any of the above right now, unfortunately. We can tell you who’ll be on board though, in terms of creative. Deniz Camp and Javier Rodríguez will be handling Shadow of the Bat, while Cody Ziglar and Diego Olortegui light a spark under Static, and Stephanie Williams and Khary Randolph rev Vixen up for her new run.
Stay tuned, DC fans. The publisher says that there’ll be much more to talk about in the months to come. That’s not just true for the above comics either, as DC‘s Next Level initiative rolls on.
