Today sees the publication of a very full Superman/Batman: World's Finest Annual for 2024. With plenty of eyes wondering where else it may take us. Because Mark Waid is up to something at DC Comics. Asked on BlueSky about DC Comics's April 2024 solicitations revealing he and Dan Mora is leaving the Shazam book with issue 8 out in March, replaced by Josie Campbell and Elizabeth Lupacchino, he replied, "I'm afraid so. Reluctantly. But it's for something big. Stay tuned." On Twitter, Scott Snyder replied to a screenshot of this conversation, saying "this is true :)"
So when we have Mr Mxytptlk and Bat-Mite, fifth-dimensional imps plaguing the DC Universe, and making meta-fictional jokes…
Whether about the Flash TV series, the upcoming Superman Legacy or Justice League International…
Even about certain websites that are, well, at least adjacent to Bleeding Cool… it may be Mr Mxyzptlk who holds the key to what's coming.
A Dark Storm is coming. Another Great Darkness? We never have enough of those to go around. Does it all begin here? Or, as usual, am I just reading into it more than is there, as usual? Batman/Superman: World's Finest 2024 Annual is published from DC Comics today.
