Dick Grayson is accused of murder - and hassled by humanoid pigs - as DC announces more Knight Terrors
DC revealed the first wave of books participating in this summer's Knight Terrors event yesterday, announcing seven new limited series, all themed around supervillains. Today, they've revealed the heroes who will be facing their own worst fears in the Nightmare Realm - and, wow, there's a lot of them.
In total, 13 new books will be launched, each one running for two issues and focussing on a different hero or team. As with the villain books, these titles are really pushing the scarier aspects of the DC universe as everyone from Batman and Wonder Woman to Ravager and Zatanna lose themselves in this mysterious and terrifying landscape.
Here's a look at the main covers for all 13 of the new books.
There's a lot to choose from here, but a few highlights from the new books include Wonder Woman teaming up with Detective Chimp; Superman visiting the haunted Nightly Planet; Dick Grayson fearing that he is responsible for murdering someone (and getting grief from some humanoid pigs who are intent on playing out the death of his parents at Haly’s Circus) and the Super-Twins being stalked by Cyborg Superman.
