If you’ve been enjoying DC Comics’ 2022 event, Dark Crisis, you might need to pay attention as the title of the event is changing to Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths! Announced at San Diego Comic-Con at the Dark Crisis panel, Joshua Williamson and artist Daniel Sampere revealed the event is a sequel to the original groundbreaking Crisis on Infinite Earths by George Pérez and Marv Wolfman.
“We’ve kept the real name a secret from the start because we didn’t want to give away what was happening in the middle of the story, with the return of the Infinite Earths,” said writer Joshua Williamson.
“It means so much to me to be able to be involved in creating a sequel to Crisis on Infinite Earths. It really is an honor and a dream come true for any comic book fan,” said artist Daniel Sampere. “Over the next few issues, fans can expect a big action explosion, with lots of epic, huge battles and a lot of emotion and surprises.”
DC will be reprinting the first three issues of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths to feature the newly announced name on the cover. Fans can order copies at their local comic shops starting today for delivery on August 30.
DC Comics also revealed the full solicit for the fifth issue in the series on sale on October 4th:
WAR AT THE HALL OF JUSTICE! After the shocking events of the last issue, Pariah has won. And now his Dark Army is poised for the invasion of our world. It’s up to the Titans to rally the remaining heroes to defeat Deathstroke’s ever-growing forces and avert total destruction! An epic war starts on the steps of the Hall of Justice, and only a miracle could help the heroes now. But all hope is not lost, as the worlds without a Justice League have begun to loosen their grip…but can the heroes return to Earth if it means one member of the Justice League could be lost forever?
