L’anno scorso DC Comics e WEBTOON hanno annunciato una collaborazione che vedrà la piattaforma webcomic digitale produrre nuove serie con personaggi DC iconici. La prima di queste serie, Batman: Wayne Family Adventures, ha debuttato a settembre e ora DC e WEBTOON hanno annunciato un trio di nuovi titoli che si uniranno alla piattaforma entro la fine dell’anno. I tre titoli appena annunciati sono Vixen: NYC, Red Hood: Outlaws e Zatanna & The Ripper.
Ecco maggiori dettagli, insieme ad alcuni crediti del team creativo, per il trio delle nuove serie DC WEBTOON,
VIXEN: NYC (26 maggio), scritto da Jasmine Walls con l’artista Manou Azumi
Mari Jiwe grew up in a small, seaside town in North Carolina, but upon graduating high school seeks to connect with extended family in Ghana. There, she meets relatives who gift her a mysterious totem, passed down for generations. Immediately upon returning home, she moves to New York for her freshman year of college. Mari hates it. New York is smelly, dirty, and full of even smellier and dirtier animals. Holed up in her room she finally inspects the totem–inadvertently releasing its magic. She is hit with an energy that gives her the power of the animal kingdom…of New York.
Mari had a hard enough time navigating college as a normal girl, and now she not only has to figure out how to “adult,” but also how to “superhuman.” Then women, who look unusually like Mari, are kidnapped across the city. Vixen learns an estranged, distant relative, General Maksai, is on the hunt for her, seeking the crystal for himself. To stop his war path, Vixen will have to stop him. As she does, she learns the true extent of her abilities. Turns out, she’s capable of a lot more than she thought.
RED HOOD: OUTLAWS (estate 2022), scritto da Patrick R. Young con disegni di Nico Bascuñán
The Outlaws try to go legit — and fail spectacularly. The Justice League has issued a challenge to Red Hood, Artemis of Bana-Mighdall, and Bizarro, who have to try and replace their goody-two-shoe counterparts as the heroes the world neither deserves nor needs.
In this original series, the Outlaws will battle some of DC’s biggest Super-Villains and Super Heroes — but their biggest battles are among themselves. Can this team last? And can they find their own identities separate from Batman, Wonder Woman, and Superman?
ZATANNA & THE RIPPER (estate 2022), scritto da Sarah Dealy e con i disegni di Syro
Giovanni Zatara is one of the world’s most talented magicians. His daughter Zatanna, on the other hand, is among the world’s most powerful. On her 21st birthday, Zatanna witnesses a fight between her father and the sorceress Allura. Before Allura can get to his daughter, however, Giovanni blasts Zatanna far away-to London, England…in the 1800s. Zatanna tries to use her burgeoning magic to return home, but fails. What she can do, however, is pull things out of the future (and past). So her small, 19th century room is now filled with modern gadgets. It seems she’ll be stuck forever until an old friend finds her — John Constantine. Recognizing him from her past–or her future, he tells her he knows how to get her home. They’ll have to solve the Jack the Ripper murders. To make matters worse, Zatanna also quickly learns that she’s among the Ripper’s targets.
In a gritty but magical journey (with a healthy dab of romance), Zatanna and John Constantine join forces to find and unmask Jack the Ripper.
Le tre serie DC appena annunciate sembrano offrire un interessante mix di supereroi ,moda, amore e humor, perfetto per continuare l’ottima collaborazione con la piattaforma.
