DC Comics has just announced its next publishing phase: DC Next Level, the second act of the company’s current All In initiative, launching after the DC K.O. event wraps up this month. The goal of Next Level is simple — take fan-favorite characters and hand them to some of the most exciting creators in comics for bold, creator-driven new #1 issues. The first wave of titles includes Lobo, Batwoman, Deathstroke: The Terminator, The Fury of Firestorm, Zatanna, and Barbara Gordon: Breakout, with each book spotlighting a unique creative voice and style. 

One of the biggest launches is Lobo, written by Skottie Young of 'I Hate Fairyland' & 'Rocket Raccoon' with art by Jorge Corona. Young’s offbeat humor and Corona’s kinetic style make them a natural fit for DC’s ultra-violent cosmic bounty hunter, promising a wild and chaotic return for the Main Man. 

Another major highlight is Batwoman, written by Greg Rucka from 'Gotham Central' & 'Wonder Woman: Rebirth' with art by DaNi. Rucka helped define Kate Kane in earlier runs, so his return immediately makes this one of the most anticipated books in the entire line. 

If DC’s goal with Next Level is to pair strong characters with top-tier creators, this first wave shows they’re aiming big.
