The full list of DC Comics solicitations for January 2016 has been released. Check out all the awesome art, plot synopses and other product info for more than 100 new titles coming your way in the new year. 

  DC highlights for the month of January will include; the third chapter of Frank Miller’s Dark Knight III: The Master Race, featuring the amazing artwork of Brian Azzarello, Klaus Janson and Andy Kubert. The official synopsis reads; 

The hardest thing for Batman is to admit his greatest strength. He’s just one man, and sometimes he needs help. With so much at stake, will he turn to help of the Super variety?”

Also this month; the first part of the nine-issue The Legend of Wonder Woman, written by Renae De Liz, who is also providing the artwork alongside Ray Dillon. Its official synopsis reads;

    “In the beginning there was only chaos, but Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, saw a better future—and eventually, her daughter would be destined to bring that new world to life! Before her ultimate fate unfolds, though, Diana of Themyscira must learn the important lessons of an Amazonian childhood!”

The new year will also bring us the first issue of a brand new Swamp Thing series, written by Swamp Thing co-creator Len Wein and featuring art by Kelley Jones.

“Swamp Thing has received an ominous warning,” we’re told in the synopsis, “and now he finds himself under attack from the forces of dark magic. These are more than just your average monsters—and there’s something much worse looming on the horizon for Alec Holland!”

As always, stay plugged in to SE for more Comic Nook News as it develops.
