The DC Universe is about to get some major changes this fall, with the DC All In initiative ushering in a new chapter of publishing. Spinning out of the events of this summer’s Absolute Power event,  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. As part of DC’s October 2024 solicitations on Friday, the publisher revealed that a number of its current ongoing titles will be getting brand new creative teams.

The big wigs here at DC want me to be a bit clearer in these snooze-licit texts so here goes nuttin’. Begin the prewritten statement! Ahem. 

“When Harley Quinn discovers her favorite dangerous neighborhood in Gotham City, Throatcut Hill, has been gentrified beyond recognition, she breaks bad and sets out on a one clown-woman mission to make Gotham City safe for crime again!”  Wow! I couldn’t have said it better myself, and luckily, I won’t have to, thanks to the excellent work of my new creative team, Elliott Kalan (The Flop House, Mystery Science Theater 3000) and Mindy Lee (Bounty,  Harley Quinn: Everybody Hates Side Quests).
