DC celebrates 50 years of Black Lightning with DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special in January

Posted on by Leave a comment

For 50 years, Jefferson Pierce has been a father, an educator, a leader, and the electrifying hero known as Black Lightning. This January, DC celebrates five decades of Black Lightning with DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special, a 48-page one-shot bringing together creators from across comics to honor Jefferson Pierce’s enduring legacy while continuing his story in the DC Universe.

On sale January 27, 2027, DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special will feature a main story by Jenny Isabella, Brandon Thomas, and Fico Ossio, with more Black Lightning stories by writers Danny Lore, Greg Anderson Elysée, and Al Letson and artists Karen S. Darboe, Darryl Banks, and Sedat Özgen.

In the main story, the celebration finds Black Lightning entrusted with protecting Metropolis while Superman is away. But as an old enemy plots his demise from the shadows, Jefferson will once again have to prove that protecting a community means more than simply winning the fight.

Jefferson Pierce has saved the world countless times, but with another battle for its fate looming on the horizon, does he still have time to repair his relationship with his ex-wife, Lynn Stewart? As Jefferson considers what comes next for the two of them, his responsibilities as Black Lightning continue to pull him in every direction.

The anniversary special also explores the many relationships that have defined Black Lightning across five decades, from family and old friends to fellow heroes throughout the DC Universe. Jefferson fights alongside the Outsiders, including Katana, the Signal, and Cassandra Cain; crosses paths with his daughters, Anissa and Jennifer; and joins Mr. Terrific and Steel as the special explores the responsibilities, relationships, and personal connections behind the hero. Black Lightning’s vision in DC K.O. also looms over the special, pushing Jefferson closer to a new role as mentor to a young hero.

DC Power: Black Lightning 50th Anniversary Special features a main cover by Edwin Galmon and Andrew Dalhouse, with variant covers by Fico Ossio and Tamra Bonvillain, Trevor Von Eeden and Chris Sotomayor, and a glow-in-the-dark variant cover by Cully Hamner.

DC has revealed Wonder Woman’s “Year of Wonder” with Louise Simonson, Cian Tormey, Stephanie Williams, Elena Casagrande, and more

Posted on by Leave a comment

Since her debut in All-Star Comics #8 in 1941, Wonder Woman has stood as a champion of truth, compassion, and equality throughout the DC Universe and beyond. Princess Diana of Themyscira has lived many lives, but her commitment to peace and justice has never wavered. On the anniversary of the Amazon Princess’s historic DC debut, DC looks toward her extraordinary future by declaring 2027 the Year of Wonder, an unforgettable year of stories from celebrated comic book creators.

Legendary writer Louise Simonson writes DC’s main Wonder Woman series for the first time beginning with Wonder Woman #41 on January 20, joining acclaimed artist Cian Tormey for a new four-issue story that establishes a bold new status quo for Diana and her world. 

In Simonson and Tormey’s story, Wonder Woman is determined to abolish the Amazon Safety Act and clear the way for her sisters to return to the shores of Man’s World. But after everything they have endured, are the Amazons ready to return, or have they given up on saving humanity from itself?

Following Simonson and Tormey’s four-issue story, writer Stephanie Williams and artist Elena Casagrande take the reins for an all-new six-issue arc continuing the Year of Wonder through October 2027.

Williams returns to Diana’s world after contributing four issues to DC’s Wonder Woman series in 2026 and co-writing Wonder Woman 2026 Annual: Wonder War – The Matriarch Special #1. She currently writes the DC GO! webcomic series Warriors and a Wee Wonder, which will soon transition to Warriors and a ’Tween Wonder. Together with Casagrande on DC’s main Wonder Woman series, Williams will carry Wonder Woman into the next chapter of a year designed to celebrate the character’s enduring power, limitless potential, and place at the heart of the DC Universe.

More Wonder Woman stories and superstar creators will be revealed as DC’s Year of Wonder continues throughout 2027.

Wonder Woman #41, written by Louise Simonson with art by Cian Tormey, features a main cover by Ryan Sook and variant covers by Daniel Sampere, Walter Simonson, and Tormey. The issue also features a foil variant cover by David Nakayama and a Sweater Weather variant cover by Alexander Lozano. The 32-page issue arrives at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on January 20, 2027, for $4.99 US, with card stock variants available for $5.99 US.

DC Announces Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos from Dan Watters and Kyle Hotz

Posted on by Leave a comment

In an alternate corner of the DC Universe, humanity has become a scourge upon the stars when writer Dan Watters and artist Kyle Hotz launch Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos, a new six-issue DC Elseworlds series that transforms the Green Lantern mythology into a sprawling cosmic war where the human race is the enemy and Hal Jordan may be the universe’s best hope for survival.

For centuries, the Empire of Humanity has swept across the universe, laying siege to the cosmos planet by planet until all kneel before the might of the human race. Only the heavily militarized Green Lantern Corps dares oppose the human crusade.

And no human has ever fought for the Corps against the Empire. Until Hal Jordan.

Once a soldier fighting on behalf of humanity, Hal was betrayed by his battle-brother Oliver Queen and left for dead on an alien world. Rescued and deprogrammed by the Green Lantern Corps, Hal is now the Corps’ only human warrior and a powerful strategic weapon in its war against humankind. Hal’s blood-soaked odyssey will carry him through the burning ruins of a DC Universe unlike any readers have seen before, as Hal fights for peace by taking the battle to the shores of Hell itself.

This is a world where there is no joy and no peace to be found, only an intergalactic crusade and the few heroes still willing to stand against it. Across six issues, Watters and Hotz push the DC Universe to outrageous new extremes, reimagining familiar heroes, villains, worlds, and alliances as the war for the cosmos grows increasingly unpredictable.

Green Lantern: Doomed Cosmos #1, written by Dan Watters with art and a main cover by Kyle Hotz, colors by Dan Brown and letters by Steve Wands, arrives at participating comic book shops and digital retailers on January 20, 2027. Issue #1 also features variant covers by Björn Barends, Steve Beach, and Ashley Wood, plus a foil variant cover by Barends. The 32-page debut issue is $4.99 US, with card stock variants available for $5.99 US and the foil variant for $7.99 US.

DC’s Fourth World Crashes into DC’s All In Saga in January 2027

Posted on by Leave a comment

The Fourth World is coming to Earth, and the consequences will reverberate across the DC Universe. This January, writers Ram V and Alex Paknadel join artist Joan Urgell for DC All In Saga: The New Gods #1, a 48-page one-shot that brings Mister Miracle and the surviving New Gods directly into the unfolding DC All In Saga.

Mister Miracle thought he could escape anything. But in the wake of unimaginable upheaval, Scott Free has taken on a role he can’t escape: Highfather. With New Genesis occupied by sinister alien forces, the New Gods have taken refuge on Earth, leaving Scott responsible for leading a displaced people searching for safety on a planet that is not their own.

Their arrival on our world will not go unnoticed.

Fourth World technology is being illegally traded on Earth, and tensions are rising as Mister Miracle and the New Gods attempt to peacefully coexist with their new neighbors. With their homeworld beyond their reach and their extraordinary technology falling into dangerous hands, the remaining New Gods must find their place in the DC Universe before the fragile sanctuary they have found becomes another battlefield.

DC All In Saga: The New Gods builds on the larger story that began in 2024’s DC All In Special #1 and continues this fall in DC All In Saga: Darkseid vs. The World #1. The latter, written by Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson with art by Sanford Greene and Yasmine Putri, arrives October 28 and reveals more of Darkseid’s past, present, and future as the war surrounding DC’s ultimate evil continues. 

Darkseid has loomed over the DC All In Saga from its beginning. His consequential confrontation with the heroes of the DC Universe in the DC All In Special helped spark the Absolute Universe, and the repercussions of his actions continue to reach across both worlds. Even as the surviving New Gods face a crisis of their own, Darkseid’s shadow remains impossible to escape. 

DC All In Saga: The New Gods #1, written by Ram V and Alex Paknadel with art by Joan Urgell and Romulo Fajado, Jr., features a main cover by Nimit Malavia and variant covers by Dustin Nguyen, Kyuyong Eom, Jason Shawn Alexander, and Javi Fernández, plus a foil variant cover by Nguyen.

Mini Reviews: Doom Patrol #2, Sicko #3, Legion of Super-Heroes #2

Posted on by Leave a comment
Doom Patrol #2 cover

Sometimes, the staff at Graphic Policy read more comics than we’re able to get reviewed. When that happens you’ll see a weekly feature compiling reviews of the comics, or graphic novels, we just didn’t get a chance to write a full one for.

These are Graphic Policy’s Mini Reviews and Recommendations.

Logan

Doom Patrol #2 (DC) – Darcy Van Poelgeest and Niko Henrichon continue to put the World’s Strangest Heroes through the wringer in a frantic issue of Doom Patrol. But underneath the quirky hijinks, there’s an emotional texture that comes out in Van Poelgeest’s prose and Henrichon’s linework. I feel Larry Trainor’s pain and even more surprisingly Niles Caulder’s after reading this book. Also, the scene where the team fights over a Neil Diamond tape in their van on the way to a mission is a master class in character development. Overall: 8 Verdict: Buy

Sicko #3 (Ignition) – Three issues in, Sicko has settled into its, and Tini Howard and Amilcar Pinna have started fleshing out Valentine and her fellow Breton’s disease patients along with a potential love interest. Valentine’s current reality (Pun intended), but she actually has something to live for. Pinna’s art highlights her vibrancy compared to her fellow patients, many of whom don’t “pass” in the outside world. Sicko is a surreal conspiracy thriller, but also has important commentary on people with disabilities, healthcare systems, and other systems of control. I can’t wait to see what cool ideas Howard and Pinna throw at the proverbial dart board in future issues of Sicko, which has real Grant Morrison’s Invisibles energy. Overall: 9.2 Verdict: Buy

Legion of Superheroes #2 (DC) – Legion of Super-Heroes continues to be one of the best looking books on the stands with Hayden Sherman’s futuristic layouts and Tamra Bonvillain’s pops of color. Joshua Williamson also starts to weave together the various threads in this story of hope and heroism vs manipulation and authoritarianism. There is something primal about the villain too and his faux hero vibes. Matter Eating Lad continues to be my fave though. Overall: 8.2 Verdict: Buy
