DC GO! Crossover and Event “Runway to Ruin” Launches This Week

DC has announced the launch of “Runway to Ruin,” the first-ever crossover event for DC GO!, DC’s mobile-first webcomics imprint available on DC Universe Infinite.

Beginning October 1 with Runway to Ruin Alpha and concluding October 29 with Runway to Ruin Omega, both written by Patrick R. Young with art by Andrew Drilon, the month-long event brings together characters from five fan-favorite DC GO! original series in a connected adventure. All episodes will be available to read free with registration on DC Universe Infinite.

In DC’s “Runway to Ruin,” characters from the DC GO! universe are drawn into an intergalactic fashion showcase where a mysterious new villain is weaponizing their most embarrassing memories. To stop the powerful new threat known as King Cringe, Harley Quinn, Nightwing, Jon Kent, Billy Batson and more must confront the moments they’d rather forget before they lose everything.

Participating series in DC’s “Runway to Ruin” crossover include:

  • Nothing Butt Nightwing — series by Patrick R. Young, Moy R. Marco
  • Harley Quinn in Paradise — series by CRC Payne, Siobhan Chiffon, Cathy Le
  • Warriors and a Wee Wonder — series by Stephanie Williams, Jane Pica, Emily Pearson, and Dominic Bustamante
  • Jon Kent: This Internship Is My Kryptonite — series by Sam Camp, Daimon Hampton, Seraji
  • The Magical Mysteries of Shazam! — series by Steve Orlando, Giopota

Following the crossover event, DC GO! will expand with three all-new original series:

  • Supergirl: Accidental Chef, where Kara Zor-El sets out to find herself and discovers the healing power of cooking as an apprentice aboard a floating food truck
  • Green Lanterns: Bad Boys for Light, where Hal Jordan and John Stewart discover that some of the coldest cases in the universe may be connected
  • Finding My GCPD Dad a Girlfriend, where Barbara Gordon takes it upon herself to help her perpetually single father find love

Several existing DC GO! series will continue after the event with new seasons and status quo changes, including:

  • Poison Ivy in Briarwood by writer CRC Payne and artist Bailie Rosenlund, continuing the story that began in Harley Quinn in Paradise
  • Warriors and a ‘Tween Wonder by writer Stephanie Williams and artist Dominic Bustamante, continuing the adventures of Diana of Themyscira following Warriors and a Wee Wonder
  • Additional new chapters of Jon Kent: This Internship Is My Kryptonite, The Magical Mysteries of Shazam!, and Nothing Butt Nightwing

The new titles launch in November, expanding the DC GO! lineup with new comedy, romance and adventure stories. Original DC GO! series consist of 26 episodes per season and are released on a weekly or bi-weekly schedule.

October will also mark a major milestone for DC GO! beyond “Runway to Ruin.” Beginning October 6, readers can pick up the first print collections of select DC GO! originals, including Nothing Butt Nightwing Vol. 1, Harley Quinn in Paradise Vol. 1, and Renaissance of Raven. Available wherever books are sold, these collections bring some of DC GO!’s most popular and award-winning webcomics to print for the first time.

Especially when your mom is the editor-in-chief—hello, nepotism concerns!

What’s more, his best friend thinks the internship is a waste of his time and talents, his boyfriend tries to be supportive but is wary of Jon’s new boss’s Superman obsession, and naturally his parents think this is a great opportunity, but life as a superhero daylighting as a reporter is a little different today than it was back then…

Despite all he’s been through, Billy is willfully hopeful. In addition to all the struggles a blended foster family faces, Fawcett City isn’t exactly the safest place to live. It might be a fantastic, whimsical city full of both humans and talking animals, but it’s also got a monster problem—in fact, a Monster Society! Soon Billy is granted the ability to say a magic word and transform into a mighty hero! Fawcett City cheers its new champion—and little do they know, he’s one of their own. Or do they?
