DC Releases A Trailer For Its Next Level

Taking Things To The Next Level

DC is continuing to expand its line and here’s a trailer for its next round of Next Level books coming this spring…

DC: Next Level continues its rollout this spring as the line’s next two series arrive from the award-winning teams of Mariko Tamaki and Amancay Nahuelpan, and W. Maxwell Prince and Martín Morazzo. Following the March launches of Batwoman, Lobo, and Deathstroke: The Terminator, and the April debuts of The Fury of Firestorm and Zatanna, Barbara Gordon steps into the spotlight with Barbara Gordon: Breakout in May, and Boston Brand rises from the dead in The Deadman in June. Barbara Gordon: Breakout is a tense, character-driven thriller that forces her into the heart of Gotham City’s most dangerous new battleground—one she’ll have to face not with Batgirl’s tools or Oracle’s tech, but with only her wits to survive—while The Deadman is replete with paranormal activity, possessions, and a profusion of other poignant peculiarities.

DC is also adding a supernatural twist to the Next Level lineup with The Deadman, a six‑issue miniseries launching June 3 from the acclaimed Ice Cream Man and Superman: The Kryptonite Spectrum team of W. Maxwell Prince and Martín Morazzo. In the aftermath of DC K.O., the balance between life and death has been thrown into chaos, leaving souls trapped in a dangerous loop of ghostly derangement. Only Boston Brand—the one and only Deadman—can possess the living and the metahuman alike to uncover the source of the disruption and restore order before the entire world slips into spiritual freefall.

The Deadman #1, by W. Maxwell Prince, Martín Morazzo, and Chris O’Halloran, launches on June 3 with a main cover by Morazzo, variant covers by Frank Cho and Tula Lotay, and a 1:25 incentive variant by Mike Choi. The issue also features a DC: Next Level variant cover by Jorge Corona and a foil variant by Lotay (pending your fact‑check). The debut issue is priced at $3.99 US for the main cover, with card stock variants available for $4.99 US and a foil variant for $6.99 US.
