"The DC Pride priorities have always been to spotlight queer characters, serve as a launchpad for new, year-round DC storytelling, and celebrate our roster of incredible talent," said DC editor Andrea Shea. "And in so many ways, 2026 is the culmination of the last five years—what we've always been building toward: a series of stories that take place in the heart of DC continuity and serve as the next chapters for some of our most beloved characters." This year, that includes Galaxy created by Jadzia Axelrod and Jess Taylor, and Dreamer as portrayed by Nicole Maines on Supergirl, whose stories unfold across three interconnected releases. Starting with Galaxy: As the World Falls Down, the sequel to Galaxy: The Prettiest Star.

"Galaxy: As the World Falls Down is about what comes next after coming out," said Axelrod. "It's about being a teenage superhero while also being trans and queer, feeling anxiety about life after high school while making sure the world doesn't end, and what to do when a powerful empire wants you dead." And Galaxy will be joining Dreamer in Justice League Intergalactic and Dream Girls… coming up.
