The NZA Posted April 20, 2017 Share Posted April 20, 2017 DC Retailers had a front-row seat at Chicago’s C2E2 today when DC Publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee unveiled six new DC Universe titles under the banner Dark Matter, partnering the most acclaimed artists in the industry with award-winning writers. Beginning this August, under the guidance of iconic artists Greg Capullo, Andy Kubert, Jim Lee and John Romita Jr., DC will launch new titles THE SILENCER, SIDEWAYS, IMMORTAL MEN, DAMAGE, NEW CHALLENGERS, with characters from each of these series first appearing in the previously announced DARK NIGHTS: METAL. THE SILENCERDebuting in September Written by Dan Abnett with art by John Romita Jr. Honor Guest was the world’s deadliest assassin, until she traded it all for a chance at a “normal” life in the suburbs, free from the constant death and destruction. But as her former life comes back to haunt her, Honor must strip away her suburban persona and protect her family as THE SILENCER. SIDEWAYSDebuting in September Written by Dan DiDio and Justin Jordan with art by Kenneth Rocafort Forever changed by the events of DARK NIGHTS: METAL, a teenager struggles to live through high school as he comes in contact with Dark Matter and gains the power to teleport through the Dark Dimension. But each leap brings the new hero one step closer to succumbing to the allure of his new power and its dark origins. NEW CHALLENGERS Debuting in December Written by Scott Snyder with art by Andy Kubert Characters live on borrowed time, running from death toward the greatest mysteries, wonders and terrors of the universe! It’s a new cast, new mission, but in conversation with the history and greatness of the original Challengers of the Unknown. The story starts with Challengers Mountain returning after having been missing for years, and only gets wilder from there… DAMAGEDebuting in October Written by Robert Venditti with art by Tony S. Daniel Ethan Avery only wanted to serve his country, but promises of becoming the ultimate weapon leave the new recruit living a nightmare. Cursed with the ability to unleash an unstoppable monster for one hour at a time, Ethan only wants to live out his life in peace. But if he can tame the monster inside, it might just be able to do more good for the country than Ethan ever expected. IMMORTAL MENDebuting in October Written by James Tynion IV with art by Jim Lee Born at the dawn of time, five siblings find that with eternal life comes eternal war. As the forces of destruction march into the modern world, they operate from the shadows, recruiting the elite against the foes who seek to bring about Armageddon. They are humankind’s hope sprung eternal….they are the IMMORTAL MEN. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keth Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 The Immortal Men sounds like fun, even if the title is kinda stupid. I like that demon thing too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Da Cap'n 2099 Posted April 21, 2017 Share Posted April 21, 2017 Oh, I see! Most of these have a similarity to Marvel. The Immortal Men = X-Men and Damage = Hulk. I guess I can get on board with this. Don't see it making a big impact tho. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
