Shawn Martinbrough's Red Hood Is Coming in 2024, Promise

In January 2022, Shawn Martinbrough wrote, "Shawn is writing a new, soon-to-be-announced Gotham City project for DC Comics."

In January 2022, Bleeding Cool reported that on Shawn Martinbrough's website, he wrote, "Shawn is writing a new, soon-to-be-announced Gotham City project for DC Comics. The six-part series will be released in 2022…" alongside a Red Hood logo. Then on what-was-then-called-Twitter, he posted "@DCComics/ Coming 2022. #writing #redhood ".

This was to believed to be a follow-up to a two-issue story in Red Hood for DC Comics, itself a sequel to Christopher Priest's Batman: The Hill. And it looked as if Shawn Martinbrough is returning to the characters rather soonish. But since then, radio silence. Until now. He posted to X, "Just got an update on the release of this six part sequel from @DCOfficial . I appreciate everyone's patience & can't wait to share! Early #2024 #writing"
