Mark Waid To Write The New History of the DC Universe

Mark Waid to write The New History of the DC Universe, launching from DC in June 2025

Mark Waid is writing a new series, the New History of the DC Universe with changing artists to chronicle the timeline of DC Comics canon as it currently stands. Beginning with #1, which follows the life of Barry Allen, The Flash, from birth, drawn by Jerry Ordway and Todd Nauck.

New History of the DC Universe #1 will be published on the 25th of June, with covers by Chris Samnee, Dan Mora, Ryan Sook, Mike Cho, Stanley "Artgerm" Lau and Scott Koblish whose wraparound variants for the series will depict DC characters chronologically, with each issue.

"This is my dream project. It's a chance to realign all of DC's sprawling continuity into one master timeline, and to be joined by some of comics' greatest artists to make it shine. With new information for even longtime fans, plus Easter eggs galore, this series will be an essential read for DC fans," says Waid.

"I'm having an absolute blast with this project. Mark has come up with something cool for me to draw on every page, and it's been an honor to share art chores with a comics legend like Jerry Ordway. The DC editorial team has coordinated a wealth of deep-dive references for me to draw from, and I'm learning new aspects of DC history I hadn't known before—and I've been reading DC comics for decades!" said Nauck.

"As one of the artists who was part of Crisis on Infinite Earths in the 1980's, I am thrilled to be involved in telling the story of this newest DC Universe with Mark and Todd," says Ordway.
