DC is leaning into romance in a hilarious way in 2024. On Friday, DC’s January 2024 solicitations unveiled the first details surrounding DC’s How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days, a new 80-page one-shot that will be published just in time for Valentine’s Day. The standalone issue will revolve around a number of characters going on dates — successful or otherwise — within the DC Universe. As the solicitation reveals, that will include work from Marguerite Sauvage, Dennis Hopeless, Brandt and Stein, and more. How to Lose a Guy Gardner in 10 Days is complete with a main cover from Amanda Conner (leaning into the issue’s pun-filled title, which might be the publisher’s best since this summer’s G’nort’s Illustrated Swimsuit Edition), and variant covers by Ariel Diaz, Christian Ward, and Dustin Nguyen.

- Romance is rarely a simple affair—love is almost always followed by some sort of conflict. Whether you’re Plastic Man twisting yourself into knots trying to please someone, or the Flash traveling back in time to make a catastrophic 50 first dates perfect, or even a lonely robot who just can’t seem to find love unless it’s mail from a computer screen, like Red Tornado, love actually is…a pain in the 27 dresses. So in the grand tradition of these dating conundrums a la rom-coms of the ’90s and ’00s, we are proud to present eight new stories about love and trying to find it in this zany world.
Who Plays Guy Gardner in the DCU?
Earlier this year, it was confirmed that Guy will be making his live-action debut in James Gunn’s Superman: Legacy, portrayed by fan-favorite actor and frequent Gunn collaborator Nathan Fillion. It is unclear at this point where and how Fillion will reprise his role in the larger “reset” DC Universe, but it sounds like he’s excited by the possibility of the new universe.
“James tends to put old actors he’s worked with before in his new movies, and that’s something I fully support,” Fillion teased to ComicBook.com in an interview earlier this year. “I would never say no to James Gunn. I can say that.”
