DC Comics relaunches three of its team books at once in September 2026. Teen Titans, Legion of Super-Heroes, and The Doom Patrol each restart at #1 under the DC Next Level banner, all with new creative teams. That is one half of the month. The other half digs into DC’s own archive, a run of facsimiles, oversized process editions, and artist tributes that reach back to the company’s founding talent.
That split is the story. DC spends September building jumping-on points for new readers. At the same time, it repackages its most studied classics for the fans who already own them. Watchmen sits at the hinge. It appears twice in the same month, once as a faithful facsimile and once as an oversized look at the original art. The Dark Knight Returns gets that same oversized treatment.
The connective tissue underneath is consequence. The line is still settling after the DC K.O. crossover that wrapped earlier this year. That fallout shapes the Justice League, the JSA, and Gotham. New #1s inherit the pressure rather than reset it.
DC Next Level is the company’s creator-driven set of jumping-on points, and this month it reaches the team books. Teen Titans #1 comes from Kyle Higgins and Daniele Di Nicuolo, the team behind Power Rangers: Shattered Grid. They rebuild the book around Red Hood and a younger generation. A teammate vanishes after a rally for Ascend, a youth movement training kids to survive in a world of superhuman conflict. Jason Todd’s harder methods clash with everyone else from the first page.
Legion of Super-Heroes #1 sends Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman a thousand years forward. A figure called Brainiac 1 of 5 sets out to solve Brande’s murder. To do it, he rebuilds the Legion from young rebels scattered across the cosmos. Sherman, fresh off Eisner recognition, gets a clean slate to design the future.
The Doom Patrol #1 takes the strangest premise of the three. Darcy Van Poelgeest and Niko Henrichon open with the team broke and working as heroes-for-hire. A simple missing-cat case curdles into something worse, while a ghost from the team’s past edges toward their reality. It is the relaunch most willing to start small before going cosmic.
Not every debut belongs to Next Level. Absolute Cassandra Cain: The Shadow’s Hand #1 widens the Absolute Universe with an origin for that world’s deadliest assassin. The story traces Cassandra back through Lady Shiva and ties her to Selina Kyle. It joins the established All In Absolute titles, which run from Absolute Wonder Woman to Absolute Green Arrow.
Gotham gets two street-level #1s under the Bad Seeds event. Batman: Bad Seeds: Gotham General #1 puts Greg Rucka inside a collapsing trauma center whose staff refuse the word hero. Batman: Bad Seeds: Gotham Central #1 hands Christopher Cantwell a GCPD stretched thin by Vandal Savage’s war on the Bat-Family. The Gotham Central name carries its own procedural history.
The DC K.O. aftermath lands hardest on the team books. Justice League Unlimited #23 closes Mark Waid and Dan Mora’s villain-amnesty epic with a reveal about who leads the team next. JSA #23 steps sideways into a quieter 1960s mission from Jeff Lemire and Teddy Kristiansen.
The back half of the catalog is a history lesson. Seven facsimile editions reprint first and key single issues, restored to their original ads and lettering. They run from Watchmen #1 and V for Vendetta #1 to vintage single issues of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.
Then there is DC W.I.P., a new oversized format built from scans of original pages. The first two volumes take The Dark Knight Returns and Watchmen. They show Frank Miller’s panel grids and Dave Gibbons’s linework at full size, the latter with a new introduction from Gibbons. Watchmen also gets a standard facsimile this month, which puts its first issue on the stands in two formats at once.
Two tributes close the archive. The José Luis García-López’s DC Classics Artist’s Edition collects seven complete stories from the artist who drew DC’s house style guide. Joe Kubert: 100 Years gathers covers for what would have been Kubert’s centennial. Both treat the house artist as the subject, not the franchise.
