DC Comics February 2023 Solicits, Not Just Batman, Superman As Well

DC Comics has decided to announce a whole lot of comic books that aren't Batman. Or, at least, mostly not Batman. We will have comics for Clark, Conner and Jon Kent, one each, while both John Stewart and Hal Jordan get a Green Lantern book each. But for now, it's back to Clark Kent getting his Superman #1 and that's about it. Hence why they decided to get ahead with the Dawn Of DC announcements. Though we also have a new DC/RWBY #1 from Marguerite Bennett and Meghan Hetrick to keep an eye on, a new Nightmare Country, Milestone books with new Static and Icon Vs Hardware, a Shazamily Matters special and a Batman/Spawn collection with the new crossover as part of it, only months after the collection was published that didn't have it in. There will be grumbles over that…

After years of doing battle with Batman in Gotham City and distancing himself from his dream, Clayface goes out west to Los Angeles. Creating a new identity, he pursues his dream of acting only to find that Gotham City isn't the only place with an overwhelming sense of dread to it, and that he might not have what it takes to make it in the City of Angels. So he'll reshape the city to fit his needs in a deadly pursuit of stardom. From the rising-star creative team of Collin Kelly and Jackson Lanzing (Batman Beyond: Neo-Year, Captain America: Sentinel of Liberty) and Xermánico (Flashpoint Beyond), this is an epic tragedy not to be missed!
