We’re in the thick of Gemini season, but there’s no reason to be of two minds about the many great additions this week on DC UNIVERSE INFINITE, including an all-new digital-first series and a couple of key #1s! Here’s everything new this week, including the latest highlights from the DC Community.
DC Digital First Comics
A mysterious corpse. A magical box. Gotham's most dangerous villains. And the key to figuring out what happened is...the Joker? Oh boy. Get ready to investigate an all-new mystery in The Joker Presents: A Puzzlebox #1 by Matthew Rosenberg and Jesus Merino—featuring Director's Cut Bonus Box content and clues exclusive to DC UNIVERSE INFINITE! (Learn more about this unique series in our interview with Matthew Rosenberg.) Plus, the John Constantine story in Truth & Justice wraps with issue #9 by Danny Lore and Adriana Melo. In Sensational Wonder Woman #9 by Amy Chu and M.L. Sanapo, Wonder Woman’s biggest fan—a 98-year-old woman—is missing. Represent! #7 by Onyekachi Akalonu and Valentine De Landro looks at the power of graffiti art, and Tim “Jace” Fox’s formative adventures continue in The Next Batman: Second Son #3 by John Ridley and Travel Foreman.

New Comics
Writer Tom King crafted epic adventures of the Dark Knight over his 85-issue run on Batman, in the process redefining the rocky, romantic relationship between Batman and Catwoman. King returns to the Bat and the Cat with DC Black Label series Batman/Catwoman, a 12-issue saga illustrated by King’s frequent collaborator, superstar artist Clay Mann. Batman/Catwoman takes place over three timelines—the past, present and future of the titular couple—with the Joker acting as a thorn in their sides throughout. Plus, Batman/Catwoman features the comic book debut of the Phantasm—from the beloved 1993 animated film Batman: Mask of the Phantasm! Issue #1 is on DC UNIVERSE INFINITE now. Also new on service, Justice League: Endless Winter #1, co-written by Ron Marz and Andy Lanning and illustrated by Howard Porter and Marco Santucci, starts a nine-part story with the Justice League facing an extinction-level global storm thanks to the Frost King! And DCeased: Dead Planet #6 by Tom Taylor and Trevor Hairsine, the penultimate issue of that series, brings the horror sequel towards its climax.
