   The full list of solicitations for DC Comics in March 2016 have been released for our greedy eyes, comic fiends! As usual, all the awesome artwork, plot synopses and other product info can be viewed below.

March will see the continuation of Frank Miller’s top selling Dark Knight: The Master Race. Also for the month; the return of Gerry Conway to Firestorm (no doubt brought back to capitalize on the expected popularity of the upcoming Legends of Tomorrow television series), Metamorpho by Aaron Lopresti and the marked return of the Metal Men, with Eisener Comic Book hall-of-famer Len Wein are writing details. This and much more to come in the month of March.

A whole generation has grown up since the Great Quake, and people like Trix and her brother Johnny don’t know what life was like before New Angeles crumbled. Suffice to say, they’ve learned how to make the most of living inside the walled city, and particularly within their ’hood. Johnny is the leader of the Kings of HelL.A., a street gang ready to protect its turf against any and all comers—though Johnny may have taken things too far when he crossed Leonard, a former Suicider known as the Coyote. Things are about to get a whole lot more violent.
Meanwhile, Trix is finding love in the arms of Johnny’s best friend, and their star-crossed romance is going to bring trouble of an entirely different kind.
The second chapter in Lee Bermejo’s acclaimed SUICIDERS series shows us a completely different side of life in New Angeles. Joining Bermejo for KINGS OF HELL.A. is artist Alessandro Vitti (RED LANTERNS), whose kinetic style perfectly fits SUICIDERS’ brutal landscape.
