DC's Elseworlds Imprint is Making a Multiversal Comeback
In the same way that Marvel Comics has imprints for stories featuring alternate universe versions of its characters, DC Comics has that in Elseworlds. But that line disappeared after 2010, and was semi-replaced with similar enough imprints like Earth One (which was similarly short-lived), the Black Label, and the young adult graphic novel line. At this point, it’s likely that most folks would associate the name “Elseworlds” with the Arrowverse crossover event from 2018.
During its panel at New York Comic-Con, DC revealed Elseworlds would be returning next year. The initial six-book lineup will consist of wholly new stories, like Tate Brombal and Werther Dell’Edera’s fantasy wasteland story Green Lantern Dark and Greg Smallwood’s Batman the Barbarian, which reimagines the Dark Knight in a “rugged, medieval Earth.” But it’ll also be the official home for alt-universe stories DC’s released in recent years: Jay Kristoff and Tirso Cons’ Deathstroke-focused Dark Knights of Steel: Allwinter will be an Elseworlds book, as will Matthew Rosenberg and Otto Schmidt’s DC vs. Vampires: World War V.
