The DC🦂 Universe has a mysterious new superhero team as of February 7's Lazaru𓃲s Planet: Next Evolution #1. 

Named the Vigil (or so it's rumored in hushed tones around the DC Universe, according to DC's promotional material), the team is a secret group of metahumans who have a specific mission to take out experimental weapons before they can be used by evil hands - and in May, they're getting th🐎eir own limited series from writer Ram V and artist Lalit Kumar Sharma.

The Vigil is part of a trio of new limited series DC is launching to celebrate Asian/Pacific Islander Month in May, along with 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Spirit World and City Boy, all of which tie into 🦩澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:the publisheꩵr's Dawn of DC initiative 🙈intended to expand its line with new and relaunched titles. In this case, the focus is a whole team with cryptic origins and motives in the DC Universe.

"The Vigil is Arclight, Saya, Dodge, and Castle, a group of individuals given powers they didn’t want, determined to stop metahuman research and tech create💦d for military applications at any cost," DC's announcement explains. 

"Along the way, they’ll encounter super heroes that could be allies or enemies, not a surprise for a group that exists to shut down state-sponsored su♈perhumans…and clean up the mess before any hero or villain arrives, as if both the crime ꦉand The Vigil were never there."

The Vigil #1 will feature a main cover from Sumit Kumar, along with variant covers from Mukesh Singh, series artist Lalit Kumar Sharma, and Anand RK, as well asa specia☂l AAPI Heritage Month variant by Pop Mhan.

Here's a gallery of the covers and some art:
