Hellblazer And Blue Beetle Go Up To Eleven, Before Ending

Hellblazer: Dead In America And Blue Beetle Go Up To Eleven, Before Ending... but Penguin Up To #12 In DC's July 2024 solicits

As the DC Comics July 2024 solicits hit last week, Blue Beetle series writer Josh Trujillo posted to social media that this would be the final issue of the comic book. As the solicitation said no such thing. Certainly not that it was an over-sized finale.

Artist Adrián Gutiérrez replied, "You are the best partner i could ever dream as CB artist. Thank you for everything, my brother." Josh Trujillo added, "You're not done with me yet!"

Simultaneously, Si Spurrier posted using Bleeding Cool's scooped solicitation (with a bit of a cover replacement, but you can still see our logo in the background) for Hellblazer: Dead In America #7 as "NOW AN ELEVEN-ISSUE SERIES… #HELLBLAZER"

What is with eleven at DC Comics now? Will Tom King switch to eleven-issue series now? Well, with the Penguin #12 finale issue for July, it seems not. As for that Hellblazer cover, Spurrier adds, "Let the record show that Aaron Campbell may be responsible for the sauciest DC cover ever. And those color choices…"

That's the bisexual flag, folks. Because it's John Constantine, and it looks like he has just had some fun. Here are all those solicitations…
