DC is cooling off the summer heat with the wintery goodness of the publisher's full November 2023 solicitations, which include the surprise holiday gift of DC's solicits for the first week of December as well.
There are more than a few notable stories coming up for DC in November and early December - including multiple Batman-centric stories.
For starters, there's writer Jason Aaron's return to the mainstream DC Universe for Batman: Off-World alongside artist Doug Mahnke and colorist Mike Spicer. The story takes Batman into space for his first interstellar solo adventure since the sci-fi heavy days of the Golden Age.
Then, if that's not enough, DC is also setting up a bit of a Christmas caper with Batman - Santa Claus: Silent Knight, which is one of the better puns the publisher has pulled off lately. In the four issue limited series, Santa Claus will enlist the help of his "former student" Batman (how's that for a bombshell?) to right a wrong that is holding up the holiday season in Gotham City.
And if that's not enough, DC has another holiday pun up its sleeve in 'Twas the 'Mite Before Christmas, another punny holiday special that focuses on Bat-Mite, the infamous interdimensional imp who loves Batman a little too much.
But that's just scratching the surface, so read on for some of the biggest highlights from DC's November 2023 solicitations followed by everything else that DC is coming out with. If you're looking for more, you can also check out all of Marvel and DC's recent solicits here on our solicitations tab.
DC is determined to make us think about Christmas, but I'm not having it! It's not even really Fall yet. Still, at least we're getting an early look at some of the treats we have to look forward to later in the year.
It's a big month for Bat-related titles. Top of the list is Jason Aaron's long-awaited return to DC with Off-World, but there's also another series of Batman '89, penned by Sam Hamm, the screenwriter behind the first Tim Burton Bat-flick. Then there's Outsiders, which promises a unique look at the multiverse as Kate Kane and chums investigate the nooks and crannies of DC history.
This month also features the start of the Titans: Beast World - the super-team's first crossover event. I'm particularly intrigued by the Waller Rising spinoff to see how everyone's favorite agent will be taking advantage of the situation.
Alright, fine, I'll make one concession to the (vaguely) impending holiday season: DC's 'Twas The 'Mite Before Christmas looks like a stuffed stocking-full of fun. Now I'm heading back to August. See you next month.
