DC Celebrates Image's 30th Anniversary With WildCATS Comic & More

DC Comics is reviving WILDC.A.T.S. #1, created by its publisher Jim Lee thirty years ago, when he was at Image Comics, before DC Comics bought his publishing imprint Wildstorm. Now by Matthew Rosenberg and Stephen Segovia, it will be accompanied by a four-issue mini-series Waller vs Wildstorm by Spencer Ackerman, Evan Narcisse and Eric Battles on the 15th of November. And DC will also collect the previous Batman/Spawn comics in Batman/Spawn: The Classic Collection before the new Batman/Spawn #1 in December. Oh and there will be tonnes of Wildstorm variant covers across the line. Basically, however Image Comics is celebrating its 30th anniversary, DC Comics wants to join in too.

WILDC.A.T.S. #1
Spinning from the pages of BATMAN comes the senses-shattering new series!

Working in the shadows of the DC Universe, this new covert team has been tasked with gathering an elite group of scientists for the first phase of their plan…but the 'Cats mysterious leader, Void, might have other plans!

WALLER VS. WILDSTORM # 1
In the early 1980s, as the Cold War stubbornly refuses to thaw, a new battle heats up…for the soul of the intelligence agency Checkmate. As the agency's super-heroic public face, Jackson King—a.k.a. The armored Battalion, former leader of Stormwatch and the symbol of American might—has long suspected that Adeline Kane is up to dirty tricks overseas, engineering horrors that betray everything he believes about service to one's country. But King doesn't know that Kane has a clever new ally—an ambitious young woman named Amanda Waller. She has her own ideas about how metahumans can serve their country. And honor, dignity, and long lives don't factor into them… National-security reporter Spencer Ackerman (The Daily Beast, Reign of Terror), comics and video game writer Evan Narcisse (Black Panther, Spider-Man: Miles Morales, Batman: Gotham Knights – Gilded City), and veteran artist Eric Battle (Aquaman, Kobalt) celebrate WildStorm's legacy of espionage-flavored superhero morality plays, pitting Stormwatch against the deadliest people in the DCU—including Deathstroke himself!
