You thought DC Comics was done after announcing Michael Walsh on Jonah Hex? You thought wrong, friend. Because thanks to the publisher’s Next Level panel at San Diego Comic-Con, they also announced teams (or individuals) for The Demon, Vixen and Static.
First up is The Demon, which will be written and drawn by James Harren, probably best known for his work on Image Comics Ultramega. Given the horror theme of the book, like Jonah Hex it will debut on October 7. And if you’re curious what it’s about, well… Wait and see, though it’s reportedly inspired by the work of Jack Kirby. That’s not a shocker: Kirby created Etrigan back in 1972. Want more? Check out a first look preview of the issue here, alongside a synopsis.
What about Vixen? That’s fulfilling a long-time dream from writer Stephanie Williams, alongside artist Khary Randolph. Per Bleeding Cool, Williams said on the panel that, “Two long years. I remember sharing on Threads that I had a Vixen pitch that was burning a hole in my drafts. What if Rihanna decided to be a superhero, but not Tyra Banks?”
And as for Static, who rejoined the DC Universe recently in a one-shot, followed by joining the team over in New Titans, the Milestone character will get his own ongoing from writer Cody Ziglar (hopping the fence from Marvel) with art by Diego Olortegui. That news, funnily enough, comes from Williams’s Instagram account via the panel.
