As announced at NYCC today, a new line up of Elseworlds comics is on the way from DC with Batman and Green Lantern getting new out-of-continuity tales in 2024. Dark Knights of Steel and DC vs. Vampires are also set to get sequels.
The Elseworlds line started back in 1991 with Batman: Holy Terror. The label publishes stories about iconic DC heroes outside the constraints of regular continuity - hence titles like Superman: Red Son, which imagined what it would be like if Kal-El landed in the Soviet Union, rather than Kansas.
"Out-of-continuity stories have always been a pillar of DC publishing, granting creators the ability to explore all the wild corners of the DC Universe," said DC executive editor Ben Abernathy. "We're excited to bring a whole new slate of titles under the Elseworlds banner in 2024, combining some all-new titles from top storytellers, as well as sequels from the current DC line that fit that same out-of-continuity aesthetic."
The six new titles are as follows:
Andy Diggle and Leandro Fernandez write and draw this 12-issue sequel to the famous 1989 one-shot. According to DC, the new series "expands the mysterious and gothic world created by Brian Augustyn and Mike Mignola beyond the confines of Gotham City, introducing DC's greatest heroes as they come together for the first time to form a 19th-century Justice League. As they unite against the greatest threat the world has ever known, they will learn their world's secret Kryptonian history."
The Human Target artist Greg Smallwood both writes and draws this six-issue miniseries, described as a "brutal and remarkable retelling of Batman's origin set against a rugged, medieval Earth."
This six-issue fantasy series by Jay Kristoff and Tirso Cons is inspired by Norse mythology and is set in the same world as Tom Taylor's Dark Knights of Steel.
DC said: "The legendary assassin Deathstroke stalks a frozen wasteland, killing for coin among a nation of ever-warring jarls. But when our murderer for hire finds himself cast in the role of reluctant guardian, will he fight to end the icy curse destroying his land, or be consumed by the sins of his own dark past?"
Green Lantern Dark, by Tate Brombal and Werther Dell'Edera, reimagines the sci-fi series as a dark fantasy saga set on a post-apocalyptic Earth.
"The battle between good and evil ended long ago. Now, darkness prevails as humanity struggles to survive on a corrupted planet. Only one hero remains, the one who wields the green flame that can return light to a dark world - The Green Lantern. But she's been missing for years, and, on the isolated island of New England, the horrors only get worse by the night."
The six-issue Batman: Nightfire is written and drawn by the twin brother team of

Speaking with Inverse, Nintendo of America president Doug Bowser has said a few things about the company’s strategy for moving to an inevitable successor to the Switch. Of the notable things he said about it, one about Nintendo accounts is particularly intriguing.
It's long been expected that AMD would announce a Zen 4-based, Ryzen 7000-series Threadripper Pro family. That announcement date is today. But while Threadripper Pro was expected, less expected was the announcement of the return of non-Pro Threadripper for desktops after killing it in the last generation. AMD has done just that, saying «We hear you, you're right, we brought it back.»
Skull Island: Rise of Kong was released on Steam on October 17, and if you use any of the various social media platforms you've probably already seen clips and stills from it. The various algorithms have all reached the same conclusion: this thing is comedy gold, and people are revelling in a dunkfest at its expense. In particular, it's being compared to Daedalic's Lord of the Rings: Gollum, which has been unfairly labelled by some as the worst game of the year (it's not great, but such a label is ludicrous).
The team behind the incredible roguelike deckbuilder Slay the Spire has released a new free game, after moving to the Godot game engine following Unity’s controversial fee policy that would see game developers paying more per game download.

The A17 Pro is Apple’s first 3nm SoC found only in the iPhone 15 Pro and iPhone 15 Pro Max and mass produced on TSMC’s next-generation architecture. Naturally, the improvements the latest silicon carries compared to the A16 Bionic is sufficient to make it costlier than the latter, but by how much? Well, according to the latest estimates, there is a 27 percent cost increase, but that is not the surprising part, as even the Snapdragon 8 Gen 2 announced by Qualcomm in 2022 is pricier than Apple’s latest and greatest iPhone silicon.
