City Boy's First Appearance is in Wildstorm 30th, Not Lazarus Planet

The solicitation for Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn one-shot out in January 2023, as part of the DC Comics magical crisis event, reveals that "ancient and dangerous power has been awakened following the eruption of the Lazarus Volcano, and this surge of fantastical power will affect the DC Universe forevermore! In Lazarus Planet: Legends Reborn, we'll explore corners of the planet newly awakened and primed to restore some heroes and villains long forgotten! With the help of Nightwing, can new hero City Boy hope to commune with Gotham in time to save it?"

You may have to wait until then to find out. But as for new hero City Boy? Gossip coming out of MCM London Comic Con this weekend is that his first appearance will be, instead, in the upcoming Wildstorm 30th Anniversary one-shot. out from DC Comics at the end of November. A 100 page-volume that will reprint stories from the WildStorm: A Celebration of 25 Years volume as well as brand new stories, looking at what Wildstorm will be going forward.

City Boy is a character who magically manipulates the cities around him in a similar fashion to Jack Hawksmoor of The Authority. And the Wildstorm 30th Anniversary Special will see the two collide in a story by the character's creators Grek Pak and Minkyu Yung. Expect them to be telling the story of City Boy and Nightwing in Lazarus Planet.

We may learn a little more Wildstorm-At-DC comic book gossip later today. I'll set up a tag for that purpose as and when it comes in.
