DC has announced Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos, a new 12-issue monthly comic book series from the award-winning team of Mark Waid and Chris Samnee, launching August 12, 2026. Following their acclaimed Batman & Robin: Year One, Waid and Samnee continue exploring the formative partnership between Bruce Wayne and Dick Grayson that was introduced in Year One in a new story that blends heart, humor, and high-stakes capes-and-tights fun while charting new territory for the early Dynamic Duo.
Batman and Robin are back in action! The Caped Crusader and the Boy Wonder have been hard at work cleaning up the streets of Gotham City, and their partnership has only gotten tighter. But when a gang of street kids starts causing chaos, Batman and Robin will need to get to the bottom of where these kids came from and who is in charge! Who is the hidden hand guiding these young mischief-makers?
With Waid and Samnee co-writing the series, interior art and the main cover by Samnee, color by Mat Lopes, and lettering by Clayton Cowles, Dynamic Duos continues the creative momentum that made the first 12 issues of Batman & Robin: Year One an instant fan favorite and landed Eisner Award nominations for Samnee, Lopes, and Cowles. The launch issue of Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos will also feature variant covers by Marc Silvestri, Dustin Nguyen, and Hayden Sherman, while Greg Capullo provides a Dark Knight Returns 40th anniversary variant cover.
Batman & Robin: Year One – Dynamic Duos #1 arrives in local comic book shops on August 12, 2026, retailing $4.99 US for the main cover and $5.99 US for card stock variant covers, and marks the beginning of the next chapter in Waid and Samnee’s definitive take on the early days of DC’s most iconic crime-fighting duo. The first twelve Batman & Robin: Year One issues are available wherever books are sold in both hardcover ($39.99 US) and softcover ($29.99 US) editions.

DC has announced “Kingdom of Zod,” a new crossover storyline unfolding across Supergirl, Action Comics, Superman Unlimited, and Superman in August and September. Featuring the talents of writers Joshua Williamson, Sophie Campbell, Mark Waid, and Dan Slott, along with artists Eddy Barrows, Joe Quinones, Montos, and Rachael Stott, “Kingdom of Zod” crossover pits Superman and DC’s Super-Family against General Dru-Zod as all the major threats from across the world of Superman in DC’s All In era collide!
The story begins on August 12 in Supergirl #16, when a mysterious military coup dangerously destabilizes the Kryptonite Kingdom of El Caldero. Supergirl assembles her own strike team—a Super-Force including Superboy-Prime, Conner Kent, Tomorrow Man, Steel, and more—to infiltrate the occupied territory. Fresh off the epic Reign of the Superboys storyline, Kara’s Superboy crew is shocked to discover this conquering force is Kryptonian in origin…and deadly. That same day, Action Comics #1101 sees Superman crash-land back into the present day after the events of Action Comics #1100 (no spoilers here!), only to find himself immediately drawn into the escalating conflict.
How the Kryptonian general has returned and what role he plays in the takeover will leave readers stunned, as a shocking twist sets the entire world ablaze with the power of Kryptonite! Guillem March provides connecting main covers across all four series in August, with variant covers by Noobovich, Stephanie Hans, Joe Quinones, Ariel Olivetti, Mike Choi, ACO, Taurin Clarke, Vincenzo Riccardi, and Christian Ward. Mark Spears will provide foil variant covers for all four titles.
The Kingdom of Zod crossover continues on August 19 in Superman Unlimited #16, where Zod reveals the true scope of his plan and unleashes a dangerous Kryptonite infection that spreads across the world. The first month of “Kingdom of Zod” concludes on August 26 with Superman #41, as Superman, Supergirl, Superboy-Prime, and the Super-Family confront Zod in a battle that will reshape the future of the House of El!
The story continues through September with chapters in Supergirl #17, Action Comics #1102, Superman Unlimited #17, and Superman #42, bringing the Kingdom of Zod arc to its explosive conclusion in a one-shot, Superman: Kingdom of Zod Special, on September 30.
“Kingdom of Zod” brings together DC’s full Super-Family for a high-stakes battle against one of Superman’s greatest foes and features the return of the Man of Tomorrow at a moment when the DC Universe needs him most. Will the Super-Family be able to stand against Zod?
