September is ‘Villains Month’ in DC, and several titles will be bringing out multiple (as many as four) issues during the month. Also, the cover prices for these titles have been increased to $3.99 for this month only!
While it’s potentially a pricey approach, there are some absolutely fantastic stories to be told here, with some stellar creative teams hopping in to provide their take on some of DC’s most iconic characters.
So, to make sure you know what to expect, here’s the rundown (not including the four ‘Forever Evil’ standalone titles).
