>DC has revealed new details and cover art for three new DC: NEXT LEVEL series launching in March 2026, as the publisher officially kicks off the second act of its DC ALL IN initiative. The move comes as DC K.O. wraps up on March 4, 2026, and signals a major creative escalation led by architects Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson.>Following the momentum that began with the DC ALL IN SPECIAL and the debut of the Absolute Universe, NEXT LEVEL represents a bold new phase built around creator-forward #1s, fan-favorite characters, and accessible jumping-on points for readers.>“Josh and I are excited to enter the second phase of DC ALL IN with NEXT LEVEL,” said Snyder. “From the launch of the DC ALL IN SPECIAL, to the introduction of an Absolute universe, and into the DC K.O. event that we’re right in the middle of now, we’re determined to build on all of the fan enthusiasm, and the retail support and story momentum, by continuing to take big swings in 2026.”>Williamson echoed that enthusiasm, framing NEXT LEVEL as a creative jolt for DC’s core line. “I’m incredibly excited to be involved in this new initiative designed to super-charge DC’s main line,” he said. “Much like how the Absolute Universe provided a new burst of creative energy with a series of unexpected new series, DC: NEXT LEVEL aims to deliver similar excitement.”>The three March 2026 launches—previously revealed to spotlight Lobo, Deathstroke, and Batwoman—will arrive alongside new story directions in DC’s ongoing and limited series, marking the formal start of DC ALL IN’s second act. While designed to be approachable entry points, these books firmly live within DC continuity.
>“These books are set in continuity,” Williamson explained. “While the series will be independent reads and not heavily tied to other books, they will exist alongside DC’s ongoing comic book series like Superman, Batman, Justice League Unlimited, and more.”>Snyder added that the rollout will mirror the philosophy behind the Absolute line. “The DC: NEXT LEVEL books are very new-reader friendly and will roll out over time. Like the Absolute line, this is an initiative that welcomes new readers that are looking for a jumping-on spot for DC’s main line of comic books.”
>Beyond March, DC has also updated the list of creators and titles first shared during a New York Comic Con panel, expanding the scope of NEXT LEVEL with additional projects launching later in 2026. The growing creative roster includes Jeff Lemire, Greg Rucka, Javier Rodríguez, Jamal Campbell, Skottie Young, Mariko Tamaki, James Harren, Kyle Higgins, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Michael Walsh, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Rafael De Latorre, Jorge Corona, Tony Fleecs, Amancay Nahuelpan, Deniz Camp, DaNi, and more, with characters ranging from Zatanna and Firestorm to the Teen Titans and Barbara Gordon>“In March, the first month of DC: NEXT LEVEL, new series starring Lobo, Deathstroke, and Batwoman are three new books that stay true to the characters as they’ve appeared in DC ALL IN and DC K.O., but the creative teams will take them into new, badass stories that explore different genres that any fan can dive into,” said Williamson.>“We can’t wait for you to see what’s coming,” Snyder added. “And this is just the beginning.”>“This is just the second phase of what we’ve planned for DC ALL IN,” Williamson concluded. “There’s a legion of stories still to be told.”
>Lobo:Vrrrrroooooommmmmmmm! The Main Man’s back, baby!

>>151761085Last I read of Batwoman was the Tynion Detective run, is her dad still evil?
>>151761056You all can bet your asses Lobo is gonna say some bullshit like feminism is awesome or something about race
>>151761085I don't understand why they haven't killed Kate Kane off already. The only purpose the character ever had was that JH Williams liked drawing her. After he swore never to return to DC they should have killed the character off.
>>151763077you imagined something and got pissed off about it.seek help
>>151763077They'll already have Batwoman for that.
