DC Comics has announced a new series as part of their Dawn of DC lineup titled Tales of the Titans. The first issue is out July 18th, written by Shannon Hale and Dean Hale (Amethyst: Princess of Gemworld, Diana, and Nubia: Princesses of the Amazons) with art by Javier Rodríguez (Batman: The Brave and the Bold) in a story that explores who Starfire, Raven, Donna Troy, and Beast Boy are, where they come from, and what do they stand for? Each subsequent issue in the four-issue series will feature a different creative team.
The first issue of Titans from Tom Taylor (Nightwing, DCeased) and Nicola Scott will be at local comic shops on May 16.
So what’s Tales of Titans about?
Her huge heart, huger hair, and fiery fists have made Starfire a fan-favorite member of the team! When a spaceship bearing Tamaranean markings crash-lands on Earth, Starfire goes on a solo mission to uncover its origins. But what awaits her on that journey will bring her back to the earliest days of her youth, to memories of two sisters eternally at war…and perhaps the chance to keep history from repeating itself.
Tales of the Titans #1 will feature a main cover by Nicola Scott (providing the main cover art for all four issues), an open-to-order variant by Stanley “Artgerm” Lau, a 1:25 variant by Javier Rodríguez, a 1:50 variant by Fatima Wajid and a Titans special foil variant by Chris Samnee.
Here’s a rundown of what to expect from the rest of the series:
Tales of the Titans #2 (available August 15) will explore Raven’s backstory and is written by Tini Howard (Catwoman) with art by Eleonara Carlini (Batgirl).
Tales of the Titans #3 (in stores on September 26) will highlight former Wonder Girl Donna Troy and is by writer Steve Orlando (Supergirl) with art by Kath Lobo (The Vampire Slayer).
Tales of the Titans #4 (available October 24) features everyone’s favorite shapeshifter, Beast Boy, and is written by Andrew Constant (Wonder Woman: Black and Gold) with art by Brandt & Stein (DC Pride).
