By Jenna Anderson

DC is headed to New York Comic Con in a pretty major way. On Wednesday, the publisher announced its official plans for New York Comic Con 2024, which will be held in mid-October in New York City. DC's panels will include the usual Jim Lee & Friends celebration, as well as a spotlight on the Gotham City side of publishing, and a new look at the Absolute/All In universes.

These publishing panels will be just one extension of DC's presence at NYCC 2024, with confirmation that the DC Studios animated series Creature Commandos will be getting its own panel. Series creator and DC Studios co-CEO James Gunn will be in attendance at the panel, alongside executive producer Dean Lorey and stars Frank Grillo, David Harbour, Zoe Chao, Sean Gunn, and Steve Agee.

What Is DC All In?

As announced earlier this summer, the new initiative will offer both an exciting, reimagined "Absolute" universe of DC's characters, as well as an ongoing line of core titles, featuring bold new directions and jumping-on points for many characters and teams. The Absolute titles will initially encompass Absolute Batman from Snyder and Nick Dragotta, Absolute Superman from Jason Aaron and Rafa Sandoval, and Absolute Wonder Woman from Kelly Thompson and Hayden Sherman. 

"The creation of the Absolute Universe is how I always imagined coming back to DC, and DC All In will be a great jumping-on point for new readers as well as lapsed fans to discover new stories to love and the chance to explore the new directions in store for DC's core series lineup," Snyder said in a statement when the line was first announced.
