Kid Quick, the Justice League’s non-binary Flash from DC Future State, is returning in a new Teen Justice miniseries. Multiversity: Teen Justice is a six-issue miniseries by Ivan Cohen, Danny Lore, Marco Failla, and Enrica Eren Angiolini that reunites the gender-swapped heroes of Earth-11. Joining Kid Quick (Jess Chambers) on Teen Justice are Aquagirl, Donald Troy, Klarienne the Witch-Girl (and Teekl), Robin, and Super Girl. After debuting in DC’s Very Merry Multiverse #1 in 2021, Kid Quick transitioned over to Future State: Justice League, but hasn’t been seen since.

The news of Multiversity: Teen Justice came during the announcement of DC’s 2022 plans for Pride Month, which include DC Pride 2022, a new 104-page Prestige format anthology featuring various LGBTQ+ characters and creators, a new series starring Poison Ivy, a four-issue Nubia: Queen of the Amazons miniseries, and a special for Tim Drake continuing his coming out story in last year’s Batman: Urban Legends, and the previously-announced original graphic novel Galaxy: The Prettiest Star.

Additionally, Pride Month will also bring about a number of Pride-themed variant covers, with Amy Reeder on Batman #124, David Talaski on Superman: Son of Kal-El #12, Derek Charm on Action Comics #1044, Joe Phillips on Aquamen #5, Kevin Wada on Nubia: Queen of the Amazons #1, Kris Anka on Poison Ivy #1, Nick Robles on Nightwing #93, Nicole Goux on Wonder Woman #788, Olivier Coipel on Harley Quinn #16, Stephen Byrne on Multiversity: Teen Justice #1, and more.

“I suggested that Kid Quick could be Earth-11’s first genderfluid character, and once editors saw Eleonora Carlini’s terrific take on the character design, there was suddenly a lot of interest in them for stories beyond the Merry Multiverse Special in December,” Ivan Cohen told Screen Rant in 2020 about introducing Jess Chamber’s new version of The Flash.
