After a seven-month delay, DC has finally resolicited Danger Street, a 12-issue Black La🍸bel series from the reunited creative team of writer Tom King, artist Jorge Fornés, and colorist Dave Stewart.
Danger Street digs deep into the publisher's catalog, and issue #1 hits shelves in December.
The "multicharacter, deeply layered crime drama" starring "reimagined" versions of characters like Starman (the blue one), Metamorpho, and Warlord is inspired by the mid-1970s series.&nbs🍒p🧸;
Danger Street follows the Mikaal Tomas Starman, Metamꦇorpho, and the fantasy character Warlord as they vie for membership in the Justice League.
Their plan: summon Darkseid to Earth to defeat him, apparently to prove the🐓ir mettle.
Sure, what could go wrong?
Their boneheaded plan puts t🔜he Earth on a path to a "crisis," and according to DC their quest to save the day will be a "treacherous one filled with princesses, knights, and all kinds of monsters."
The main heroes encounter other supporting characters - the full cast includes 21 characters - also culled from the pages of DC's 1st Issue Special including the aforementioned Dingbats of Danger Street, the New Gods, the Outsiders (no, not Batman's team, an earlier, weirder, more obscure team created by Joe Simon), Doctor Fate, Manhunter (Mark Shaw), Lady Cop (a police officer who's also a woman, appropria🐈tely enough), Code Name: Assassin (he's what he sounds like), the Green Team (pre-teen billionaires who offer cash for adventures), the Creeper, and𝓰 oh yeah, Darkseid.
Here's a gallery of some o𒈔f Fornés' updated designs for some of the characters🅠, along with comments King about them:
They all play a crucial role in what DC calls a "sprawling yet gr🃏ipping narrative that is a little bit silly, a whole lot dark, and completely cool."
King tweeted that tꦇhe series "explores the good and the evil lurking in all the forgotten corners of the DCU," and a story "with a lot of characters who at times violently collide into each other."
"Think Game of Thrones or Fargo."
Danger Street Book One (of 12) goes o🌜n sale December 13 with a main cover by Fornés. Variant covers spotlighting characters featured in both Danger Street and the original DC 1st Issue Special series include an Atlas cover by Steve Rude, a Lee Weeks cover featuring The Creeper, Metamorpho, and Warlord, and a Dr. Fate cover by Ben Oliver.
"No one will see it coming, but♛ everyone will want t▨o see where it goes!" says DC.
Probably right about not seeing it coming, we'll have to see about the re🥂st.
