DC Announces New Teen Justice Comic Book Series – Did You Buy In?
Five days ago, Bleeding Cool posted a Speculator Corner on a Very Merry Multiverse #1 from DC Comics. I hoped you picked up a copy. Because this is why. It is the first appearance of Teen Justice and Kid Quick from Earth 11. And now DC Comics is to publish a new Multiversity: Teen Justice series starting in June. By Teen Justice co-creator Ivan Cohen, Danny Lore, Marco Failla, and Enrica Eren Angiolini. "The Teen Justice team will feature new takes on familiar heroes and villains, including a brand new Raven, who has previously refused to join his fellow young heroes."
Teen Justice is a DC Comics mashup of Teen Titans and Young Justice from Earth 11. A gender-switched Earth, that first saw mention by Grant Morrison in the Multiversity Guidebook, the team is made up of Aquagirl; Donald Troy, Kid Quick, Klarienne the Witch-Girl and Teekl, Robin and Supergirl, and they fought Starrla, the Star Conqueress in last year's DC's Very Merry Multiverse #1, created by Ivan Cohen and Eleonora Carlini. The Teen Justice is a team of Earth 11 formed by the sidekicks of the Justice Guild members. Though there were other names suggested in the mix, this combines both Teen Titans and Young Justice.
Kid Quick went on to appear in the Justice League Future State, and so the issue started getting a little attention, selling for $10 on eBay a couple of weeks ago and then up to $20 after the Bleeding Cool article.
And now that DC is publishing a new Teen Justice series, might it answer just where Kid Quick is in the new Justice League as seen in the upcoming Dark Crisis #1, after they were missing in Mahmud Asrar's cover to Dark Crisis #1?
Multiversity: Teen Justice #1 will be published by DC Comics in June.
Multiversity: Teen Justice by Ivan Cohen, Danny Lore, Marco Failla, and Enrica Eren Angiolini, with covers by Robbi Rodriguez (main), Stephanie Hans (open-to-order variant), Bengal (1:25 variant), and Failla (1:50 variant), features Kid Quick—the Future State Flash—and the other young heroes of Earth-11. Launching on June 7, the secrets of Earth-11's newest heroes and villains unfold in DC's most exciting new team title! And what role will the mysterious Raven—the brooding hero who has refused to join the team in the past—play in the brand-new series? Cohen, Lore, Failla, and Angiolini's new series is planned for six issues.
