DC Delivers Big Superhero Crossovers in May


Superman faces the wrath of the Revenge Squad.

DC released their full lineup of solicitations for May 2017 this week. May will be another month of big DC Rebirth crossovers, as "The Button" concludes in Batman and The Flash and "The Lazarus Contract" plays out in the pages of Titans, Teen Titans and Deathstroke.

New Series:

  • Bug!: The Adventures of Forager #1
  • Injustice 2 #1-2

Ending Series:

  • The Dark Knight III: The Master Race #9
  • Injustice: Ground Zero #11-12

Observations:

  • We're guessing there's a reason DC is putting out multiple new Legion of Super-Heroes trades in May.
  • Any theories as to what DC's "top secret summer event" is going to be?
  • Hopefully the reprint of the Teen Titans Omnibus fixes the paper quality problems from the original version.
  • That Frank Cho Wonder Woman statue might just be the best WW collectible ever sculpted.
