Static teams with the New Titans. A New Mission. A Rising Threat. A Hero Whose Spark Changes Everything.

Posted on May 22, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

Static takes on a pivotal role in the next chapter of New Titans when issue #38 arrives this August from DC Comics. The issue marks Virgil Hawkins’s first major DC Universe storyline following his reemergence in DC K.O.: The Kids Are All Fight Special and the conclusion of New History of the DC Universe: The Dakota Incident. As the Titans face a looming crisis in the Amazon rainforests, Static becomes a key force in the story that will carry the series through the end of the year.

New Titans #38 follows Static as his path intersects with that of Jon Kent, a.k.a. Superman, at Mount Titans, just as an emissary from Wonder Girl’s tribe arrives seeking Yara Flor’s help against a rising force in the Amazon rainforests of Brazil. As the Titans prepare for their first major mission, Static steps into a team grappling with internal tensions and a threat powerful enough to challenge even their combined abilities.

With a new crisis rising in the Amazon and the Titans pushed to their limits, Static’s arrival marks the spark that will drive the team into its most challenging mission yet. His return sets the stage for a high-stakes arc that reshapes the Titans’ path and reintroduces one of DC’s most electrifying heroes to the center of the action.

To prepare readers for Static’s role in the series, July’s New Titans #37 will feature a four-page prelude that follows Virgil in the aftermath of his recent reemergence. This short story bridges the events of The Kids Are All Fight and The Dakota Incident, culminating in a reunion with Jon Kent that draws Virgil toward the mission awaiting the Titans in issue #38. For readers who missed The Dakota Incident when it was first published in February, a second printing arrived in comics shops on April 22.

New Titans #38 is written by Tate Brombal with art by Sami Basri, featuring a main cover by Taurin Clarke and variant covers by Dike Ruan and Lucas Meyer, along with a foil variant by Dike Ruan. New Titans #38 will be available on August 19, 2026, for $3.99 US, with card stock variants priced at $4.99 US.

DC announces Kingdom of Zod

Posted on May 7, 2026 by Graphic Policy Team

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?
