A new age is on the horizon for DC Comics, as new creative teams and new characters begin exploring a revitalized DCU starting with Infinite Frontier #0. The new anthology promises a bold new direction for DC Comics which will revive several classic concepts while simultaneously treading new ground.
It's been teased that something big has been in the works at DC Comics over the past few weeks. Several changes were announced to the creator line-ups of popular series, such as Tom Taylor and Bruno Redondo (who collaborated on Injustice and the latest volume of Suicide Squad) Nightwing and Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez moving to Justice League. However, the announcement of Infinite Frontier #0 was the first confirmation from DC Comics that a line-wide refresh, akin to 2016's DC Rebirth, was in the works.
Dark Nights: Death Metal event and star Wonder Woman and The Spectre. The rest of the stories in the anthology will build upon the events of Dark Nights: Death Metal and the Future State, which will run for two months beginning in January 2021, and set the status quo of the new monthly series starting in March 2021.
“Infinite Frontier #0 really feels like the beginning of a new era of DC Comics, a time when anything is possible... We’re taking the aftermath of Dark Nights: Death Metal and combining it with the best things we love as storytellers about the DC Universe, resulting in bold, fun, and exciting new directions. There are a lot of teases to new story lines, surprises, and mysteries for the year set up in Infinite Frontier #0 that you won’t want to miss.”
The announcement also revealed some of the changes that fans have to look forward to, as well as some new series that had not been teased before. Infinite Frontier #0 will include a Batman story by James Tyion IV and Jorge Jimenez that will set the stage for the entire Batman line in the wake of Joker War. Becky Cloonan, Michael Conrad, Joelle Jones and Alitha Martinez will forces on a Wonder Woman story teaming Nubia and the new Future State Wonder Woman Yara Flor. Geoff Johns will write a new Stargirl story with art by Todd Nauck. The anthology will also include stories involving Superman, the Teen Titans The Flash, the new Justice League and the Green Lantern Corps.
While a lot of changes are in store for DC Comics fans, Williamson cautions against being afraid that everything that worked before will be forgotten. While describing what is coming as a new DCU, Williamson reassures "...it's the same DCU fans love, it's just time to move and to do like this next stage." Based on the first glimpse of Infinite Frontier #0, readers are in for one heck of a show once that stage is fully set.
