New York Comic Con is all wrapped up for another year! The event brought the usual slew of comic announcements and reveals from the major publishers.
DC in particular had a really strong showing this year, unveiling the next phases of both its DC Next Level and Absolute Universe lines, and teasing the return of classic characters like Swamp Thing, Static, Jonah Hex and Vixen.
If you couldn't make the event, fear not! We've rounded up the biggest highlights from DC's various panels below so you can get up to speed on all the amazing comics headed your way over the next few years.
The Dark Knight remains DC's brightest star, so it's no surprise that the mainline DC continuity is getting a couple of intriguing new Bat-books.
Batman: The core Batman comic begins a new arc with #15, released on November 4. The series, written by Matt Fraction and illustrated by Jorge Jiménez, sees the Caped Crusader investigating a shocking crime: the assassination of Bruce Wayne! December's #16 is said to be a must-read issue in particular.
Batman – Shadow of the Bat: Now this one looks really interesting. Shadow of the Bat, from the creative team behind the brilliant and occasionally baffling Absolute Martian Manhunter. On stage at NYCC, Camp revealed that the series kicks off with an explosion at the Ace Chemicals factory from The Killing Joke, which floods a Gotham neighborhood in neuropharmacological agents. The area is quarantined, but Batman enters to try and prevent the birth of more Jokers.
