It’s been a while since an event took place that was so big it ate up most of the month’s solicitation, but that’s what’s happening in July at DC.
Welcome to KNIGHT TERRORS: the biggest crossover event of the summer! A powerful new villain called Insonmia traps the DCU in the Nightmare Realm, which does what it says on the tin. Thanks to that guy, each hero and villain will be dealing with their own worst fears individually, across a whopping 21 books! Yikes!
After Knight Terrors: First Blood is released July 3, the story continues in the main Knight Terrors mini (the first two of four issues will be released within July). Then SUPERMAN is confronted by the Super-Reaper, BATMAN must deal with a deadly doppleganger, JIM GORDON is being chased by a robotic Batsuit, NIGHTWING finds himself in prison for murder, POISON IVY is trapped in a domestic Stepford suburb, CATWOMAN seeks forgiveness from Batman after killing someone, THE JOKER is stuck as a corporate office drone, ROBIN must fight a bunch of evil Robins, POWER GIRL must fight an evil Power Girl (a lot of these people seem to have the same nightmare), THE FLASH is in a cage (that’s all it says)….
(deep breath)
WONDER WOMAN teams up with Detective Chimp to fight her own nightmares, the TEEN TITANS face off against the Terror Titans, SHAZAM and Billy Batson face separate terrors, GREEN LANTERN is stuck on a planet controlled by Hal Jordan’s worst fear, BLACK ADAM (scene missing), PUNCHLINE thinks she fears nothing but will be proven wrong, RAVAGER has to protect a younger version of herself from the Slaughter Squadron, ANGEL BREAKER is one of the few who escaped the Realm but wants to break in, ZATANNA also managed to avoid entrapment but can’t defend the sleeping bodies of our heroes forever, and HARLEY QUINN is somewhere undescribable.
The lion’s share of new material belongs to Knight Terrors this month, but there are a handful of other new comics that premiere in July. HAWKGIRL is about to get her own book again: six issues will tell the story of Kendra Sanders relocating to Metropolis and finding her fate tangled up with a mysterious villain that may have been involed in the creation of her metal wings. The first of six issues goes on sale July 18.
DC’s full list of July comics lies below.
When Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman find the body of one of their earliest enemies inside the Hall of Justice, their investigation takes them past the land of the living, beyond the land of the dead, and directly to a new villain called Insomnia…who uses his powers to engulf every single hero and villain in their own dark and twisted nightmares. The only way to save the world is to call for the help of an unlikely hero, Deadman!
The thrills and chills of Knight Terrors are brought to the DC Universe by DC architect and superstar writer Joshua Williamson with horrific art by comics legend Howard Porter!
Hello, ghouls and ghosts! This is Boston Brand, a.k.a. Deadman, and I’ll be your supernatural tour guide across the Knight Terrors stories! After that fancy special oversize issue you have to read first, the whole world is trapped inside their nightmares, and Batman and I are trying to figure out who Insomnia really is…and why he wants revenge on the heroes of the DC Universe!
Oh dang, I gotta do another one of these this month? Batman and I are joined by…Wesley Dodds, the Sandman?! What the heck? I thought I was the only dead person allowed in this story. I guess not! We uncover one of Wesley’s oldest cases, which haunted him until the day he died, and it points us in the direction of the Nightmare Stone. But Insomnia has unleashed his own army to hunt us down…the Sleepless Knights. And this issue is their first appearance, kids! Get scared!
Ever since becoming Batman, Bruce Wayne has been a creature of the night. He transformed himself into a symbol that gave the criminals of Gotham nightmares. But now, trapped in the Nightmare Realm, Bruce is stalked by the horror he’s created! Can he escape before his own nightmares pull him deeper into the darkness?
Jim Gordon stumbles upon a sacred ritual held by three disciples chanting around an enchanted clock…and one of them is wearing the robotic Batsuit that he donned many years ago as Batman…except this metal suit seems to have have soldered directly into the flesh of the wearer! What do these creatures want with Gotham, and why are they targeting Jim’s daughter, Babs, too? This has to be a dream, right? Or perhaps it’s a nightmare, but if you die in it, you can die in real life as well…
Pigs, pigs, pygs…and clowns! Dick Grayson wakes up in jail to realize a nightmare has come to life: he murdered someone he loves! And the only thing making it worse is his past coming to haunt him in the form of humanoid pigs playing the characters of his childhood at Haly’s Circus, scene by scene, leading up to the night of his parents’ death. The Batgirls try to help Nightwing figure out who framed him (or why he killed someone!), but it’s his cellmate and other unlikely villains in jail who will help him solve the mystery…but are they actually helping him?
It’s another absolutely gorgeous and serene day in Pamela Isley’s lovely little new neighborhood! Everything and everyone here is wall-to-wall smiles! Nothing ever goes wrong, everyone is friends, and best of all, it’s made just for Ivy with lots and lots of love. Now, Pammy, don’t frown, don’t fuss, and don’t fret, just because this wasn’t what you thought you wanted, that doesn’t mean it won’t fit you like a glove!
Now have some pie, dear, don’t think too hard, and just smile.
Forgive me, sister, for I have sinned. I murdered Valmont, the man I love, in order to save the man I loved…Batman…who will never forgive me for breaking his one rule. But please forgive me, Sister Zero, for this Nightmare Realm you’ve put me in as penance, from which I can’t seem to wake up, is my Catholic guilt come to life in the form of your rotting disciples taking my soul. Sister Maggie, if you’re still somewhere in there, forgive me, and let me save us in the Nightmare Realm in order to save us in real life! That is…unless we should die before we wake.
Imagine a world, beyond both the waking world and that of dreams. A world where your every choice creates a series of infinitely rippling profane reverberations. Where donuts and soda cans can do the cancan and I actually am goin’ steady with yer mom. Our story takes place there, in the realm beyond the limits of the liminal. A place we call…the Harley Quinn Zone. I’m your host, Dr. Ryleha Q. Niun, attorney of drawers, Just kiddin’. It’s still me, Harley! But hey, this one is real freaky, and my life is already pretty dang bananas! Hold on to your buns, ’cause this one is gonna give you some interdimensional chafing for sure! Plus, Leah Williams and Ben Templesmith help me crack a cosmic-mystery night terror! This case goes so many layers deep it’s practically a true turductective story, if you will…
The Joker’s worst nightmare becomes a reality: he’s got a day job! How will he handle meetings that could have been emails?! Why did management cancel “bring your child to work” day?! Who will want to make small talk at the coffee machine?! What is Alexis going to pick for lunch?! And who is the masked madman terrorizing Gotham at night?!
It’s Robin versus Robin versus nightmare Robins? When the two Bat-brothers get taken into the Nightmare Realm, Jason Todd and Tim Drake must fight against their worst fears and each other as they’re forced to relive the darkest moments of their lives.
What does the Man of Steel have nightmares about? Clark Kent knows why he’s been pulled into the Nightmare Realm and goes in search of his family and friends, but that journey takes him to the haunted Nightly Planet, where he is confronted by the Super-Reaper!
In the waking world, Superman was midflight when he was hit by the nightmare wave. Where he crash-lands will surprise you!
Slipping into the world of nightmares is only the beginning as Power Girl faces off with the scariest dream of all…herself! Paige may have narrowly escaped the grasp of the devious Johnny Sorrow, but all of that was just a warm-up for the real villain inside. Meanwhile, the Super-Twins are lost in a terrifying dreamscape and being hunted by a nightmare version of their own adopted father, the murderous Cyborg Superman. Can Superboy, Kong Kenan, and the Steel family find the twins in time to save them, or will they join his bloody list of victims?
After the Flash Family freed Barry Allen from the dimension Pariah locked him in, the Scarlet Speedster was able to return home for some quality time with Iris and his other loved ones. But after the world is plunged into the Nightmare Realm, Barry’s trapped in a different cage, and he’ll have to find a way out on his own!
