DC All In is an American comic book initiative spearheaded by Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson and debuted in October 2024 by DC Comics. It is the successor of Dawn of DC, following the end of Absolute Power.[1]
Publication history
[edit]The DC All In initiative began with DC All In Special #1, a 64-page one-shot that will be written by Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson, and illustrated by Wes Craig and Daniel Sampere. It will also be a flip book issue, as one half will focus on Superman and the formation of a new Justice League, and the other will focus on Darkseid and the establishment of the new "Absolute Universe".[2] It was also announced that Snyder would be writing Absolute Batman and that Williamson will be joined by artist Dan Mora for a new arc of Superman, which will debut a new Superwoman and herald the return of Doomsday.[3]
In 2024, at New York Comic Con, it was announced that Jeph Loeb and Jim Lee would be taking over the monthly Batman title from Chip Zdarsky and Jorge Jimenez for a six-part story called Hush 2, starting with issue 158 in March 2025. It was also confirmed by Lee that Scott Williams, Alex Sinclair, and Richard Starkings would return as inker, colorist, and letterer respectively for the story and that it would be part of the All-In initiative.[4][5]
