“As the ramifications of the Titans’ battle with Starro reverberate across the globe, Metropolis is hit with an unexpected surge of electricity from…is that—? No. It can’t be. Livewire? BUT SHE’S A—A—okay you’re going to have to read this one to believe it. Meanwhile, Supergirl and Dreamer take on the terror of the Flamebird, Power Girl is no longer, and amid the chaos a threat continues to grow on the horizon. All signs point to a major new shift in the world of Superman in Beast World Tour: Metropolis!”

Who is Flamebird?

Flamebird is a name that DC fans may be a little familiar with as there have been a handful of characters who have adopted it before. Flamebird, along with Nightwing, are a duo of Kryptonian gods who reincarnate through history and are destined to find each other (and be betrayed by a friend) in each lifetime. The pairing may be best known for the legend Superman tells a young Dick Grayson of the Kryptonian gods, inspiring him to adopt the name Nightwing for himself.

Titans: Beast World Tour: Metropolis #1 is Part of the Larger Titans: Beast World Crossover Event

Kicking off in late November, Titans: Beast World will see an “unprecedented threat” come to the DC Universe that even Superman, Wonder Woman, and Starfire are powerless to stop — the Necrostar. There’s only one hero who can and its Beast Boy!

“With Nightwing, Raven, Cyborg, and the Titans beside him, can Garfield Logan rise to battle an ancient evil? What will Amanda Waller do to take advantage of the situation as millions of people are changed into rampaging creatures? Can humanity survive all-powerful heroes and villains transformed into ferocious beasts?

Friends will fall. Heroes will rise. And nothing will ever be the same again. Earth is about to become…Beast World.”

Titans: Beast World #1, written by Tom Taylor with art by Ivan Reis and Danny Miki will go on sale November 28th.
