Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow lives up to the hype and now available as a DC Compact Comics edition!

Kara Zor-El has seen some epic adventures over the years, but she now finds her life without meaning or purpose. Here she is, a young woman who saw her planet destroyed and was sent to Earth to protect a baby cousin who ended up not needing her. What was it all for? Wherever she goes, people only see her through the lens of Superman’s fame.

Just when Supergirl thinks she’s had enough, everything changes. An alien girl seeks her out for a vicious mission. Her world has been destroyed, and the bad guys responsible are still out there. She wants revenge, and if Supergirl doesn’t help her, she’ll do it herself, whatever the cost. Now a Kryptonian, a dog, and an angry, heartbroken child head out into space on a journey that will shake them to their very core.

This volume collects Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow #1-8, the complete story, in DC’s 5.5″ x 8.5″ Compact Comics format.

Jason Momoa is the main man, joining Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow as Lobo

Lobo

After lots of rumors, teases, fan casting, and more, Jason Momoa is joining Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow for DC Studios as Lobo. Momoa previously played Aquaman in DC’s films which have grossed over $1.5 billion worldwide and has been vocal about being interested in the role. The casting was confirmed by Momoa on social media where he quoted his interest in the role and commented “they called.”

An anti-hero, Lobo grew in popularity in the 90s after debuting in Omega Men #3 in 1983. He was created by Roger Slifer and Keith Giffen. The character is a bounty hunter from the planet Czarnia who possesses superhuman strength, regenerative abilities, immortality, and an invulnerability.

While details for the Supergirl film are unknown, it’s based on the 2022 comic series Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow which was written by Tom King and features the art of Bilquis Evely. It stars Milly Alcock as Supergirl and Matthias Schoenaerts as a the villain Krem of the Yellow Hills and will be directed by Craig Gillespie from a script by Ana Nogueira.

DC Announces DC GO! — a new collection of webcomics designed for mobile devices

DC has announced DC GO!, a new frontier of webcomics publishing exclusively on DC Universe Infinite (DCUI). The DC GO! collection of webcomics is designed for mobile devices, and a sneak peek of two new series will be free to read as a DC GO! preview starting today. The DC GO! collection will include a mix of original webcomic content plus vertically reformatted DC and MAD Magazine classics, launching November 20, 2024. Check out a preview of the DC GO! collection below and click through to dcuniverseinfinite.com/go for more information.

The DC GO! original launch titles include Harley Quinn in Paradise by CRC Payne, Siobhan Chiffon, and Cathy LeNothing Butt Nightwing by Patrick R. Young and Moy R. Marco; and Renaissance of Raven by Sina Grace, Nico Bascuñan, Katherine Lobo, and Carola Borelli, with more to come.

In Harley Quinn in Paradise by writer CRC Payne and artists Siobhan Chiffon and Cathy Le, Harley Quinn is rarely lucky in love—and after her recent breakup with The Joker, has been feeling particularly chaotic. Ivy advises Harley to lay low for a while—maybe a little R&R (recklessness and robbery) would be good for her! Good advice, right? True to character, Harley decides the best way to lay low is to plaster her face across every television in America and find true love on TV’s hottest reality dating show. Harley heads for the show’s island setting, ready to be the best contestant the program has ever seen…because she’s playing to win by any means necessary! And can she help it if she accidentally falls in love along the way?

Harley Quinn in Paradise

In Nothing Butt Nightwing by writer Patrick R. Young and artist Moy R. Marco, Dick Grayson, the first Robin, has made a name for himself as the hero Nightwing. But after several failed civilian-identity career attempts (a bar, a gym, etc.), he lands his biggest deep-cover operation yet—as an international supermodel! He’s got the eyes of the audience, the other models, and even a few agents. But he only has eyes for one thing…the Poison Ivy protégé on the hunt to steal the expensive (and environmentally harmful) jewels around the models’ necks…and perhaps the models themselves! But can he serve justice, and serve lewks, while traveling the globe? The spotlight is on Dick Grayson in Nothing Butt Nightwing…because his first gig is an underwear print campaign!

Nothing Butt Nightwing

In Renaissance of Raven by writer Sina Grace and artists Nico Bascuñan, Katherine Lobo, and Carola Borelli, Raven needs an escape. Her fellow Titans won’t leave her alone, she just had a fight with Beast Boy, and to top it off, it’s the anniversary of her mom’s death. We find her trying to live life beyond the curse of her father. She’s over it! Raven is more than her trauma! When a strange girl in a graveyard proclaims that Raven is some kind of destined hero, she’s ready to walk away…until suddenly, she’s pulled through an enchanted portal…to the kingdom of Galonia. Raven is sent hundreds of years into the past, where she must contend with a cabal of witches and the difficult choice of helping those in need or returning home!

Renaissance of Raven

In addition to the three original webcomics debuting with the DC GO! collection launch, with more to come, a DCUI subscription will also allow readers to enjoy newly formatted DC and MAD Magazine classics on the go. Batman: Hush,a thrilling mystery of action, intrigue, and deception by Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee, is the first DC classic to join the DC GO! collection and can be previewed for free beginning October 17. All-Star Supermana science fiction/fantasy epic by Grant Morrison and Frank QuitelySupergirl: Woman of Tomorrow, a science fiction adventure by Tom King and Bilquis Evely, and more, will be joining the DC GO! collection of reformatted genre classics on DCUI in the coming months.

In Batman: Hush by Jeph Loeb, Jim Lee, Scott Williams, Alex Sinclair, and Richard Starkings, a crime epidemic is sweeping Gotham, and Batman’s enemies have emerged to wreak havoc on the Caped Crusader’s life. But little do they know they’re all just pawns in a grand scheme concocted by the enigmatic Hush with one endgame in mind: destroy Bruce Wayne!

DC Studios announces 10 new film and television projects including Amanda Waller, Superman, Booster Gold, and more!

DC logo

DC Studios Co-Chairmen and CEOs James Gunn and Peter Safran have announced plans for their first 10 film and television projects under the new DC banner they lead across film, television, and animation. Gunn and Safran are designing and implementing a long-term interconnected story for the iconic franchise and characters, and today shared details on “Chapter 1” focused on “Gods and Monsters” with five new films and five television series for HBO Max already in development.

The plan is for a connected universe with all ten projects set within the same shared DC Universe. Characters will crossover between projects.

The reveal has some surprising announcements but shows a very wide variety of characters and projects. Live action, animation, television, and film, some of the projects are high profile characters and some are sure to be the stars of tomorrow.

What also stands out from the announcement is Gunn’s promotion of other projects that will be outside of this connected world and will be labeled as “Elseworlds”. Examples are The Batman and the upcoming Joker sequel.

Film Projects:

  • Superman: Legacy – written by Gunn, the film will hit theaters on July 11, 2025, and focus on Superman balancing his Kryptonian heritage with his human upbringing.
  • The Authority – DC’s WildStorm characters will join the DCU as members of The Authority take matters into their own hands to do what they believe is right
  • The Brave and the Bold – the DCU will introduce its Batman and Robin in this unusual father-son story inspired by Grant Morrison’s comic series
  • Supergirl: Woman of Tomorrow – this science fiction adventure, which will be based on Tom King’s amazing, award-winning recent comics stories, presents a Supergirl viewers are not used to seeing
  • Swamp Thing – the film will investigate the dark origins of Swamp Thing

Television projects for HBO Max:

  • Creature Commandos – a seven-episode animated show in which Amanda Waller creates a black ops team out of monstrous prisoners; Gunn wrote all the episodes of the first season
  • Waller – starring Viola Davis, this series features Team Peacemaker and will be written by Christal Henry (Watchmen) and Jeremy Carver (Supernatural)
  • Booster Gold – Booster Gold uses basic technology from the future to pretend to be a superhero in present day
  • Lanterns – this enormous TV event series follows intergalactic cops John Stewart and Hal Jordan as they uncover a dark mystery 
  • Paradise Lost ­– set in Themyscira, home of the Amazons and birthplace of Wonder Woman, this drama focuses on the genesis and political intrigue of an island of all women

It’s an interesting mix of known and unknown properties for the wide masses. What do you think of the initial lineup? Sound off in the comments!
