DC Comics Announces 3 New Elseworlds Series

DC Comics have announced 3 new series for their Elseworlds line. 

2 are for this summer’s Summer Of Supergirl, and the other one is a continuation of a very popular series. Up first is a new Supergirl series. 

Supergirl: Survive has teenage Kara Zor-El and infant Kal-El launched into a hostile universe. Krypton is burning around them, and has to find a way to survive. The series full description reads: 

“Kara Zor-El lives a life of small problems—school dances, family squabbles, and the impossible task of holding her floppy baby cousin Kal—but Krypton has big ones. As General Zod tightens his grip and the planet begins to burn, Kara and Kal are launched into the stars together, trapped in a prototype rocket and fighting to survive a universe that doesn’t care if they live or die.” 

Ethan S. Parker and Griffin Sheridan are writing the series, while Rod Reis is doing the art and covers.  The series is out on June 3rd.

Meanwhile, the other Summer Of Supergirl series launching is Superman: Father of Tomorrow. This series has Jor-El as the one in the rocket that crashed into Kansas. The series full description reads: 

“When the planet Krypton explodes, a lone rocket escapes the destruction—not carrying Kal-El, but his father. Jor-El crash-lands in Kansas, where a kindly couple takes him in. As he adjusts to life on Earth, Jor-El discovers he can help his new home not only with his powers, but with his brilliant mind. This is the story of a Man of Steel and Science—and the world he saves.”

Kenny Porter is writing the book, while Danny Earls is doing the art and covers as well. The book is launching ahead of Supergirl: Survive on May 27th. 

The other series that is coming is Dark Knights of Steel II. Now Tom Taylor is writing it, while Otto Schmidt is doing the art for it, and Yasmine Putri is doing the covers for it. More details for the series will be announced in the coming months.
