DC ALL IN ACT II INCLUDES NEW FIRESTORM AND ZATANNA COMIC BOOKS
DC: Next Level Continues Its 2026 Expansion With Zatanna by Jamal Campbell and The Fury of Firestorm by Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre
Hot on the heels of March’s breakout DC: Next Level launches, including Batwoman by Greg Rucka and DaNi, Deathstroke: The Terminator by Tony Fleecs and Carmine di Giandomenico, and Lobo by Skottie Young and Jorge Corona, DC is turning up the heat this April with two bold new comic book series that push magic, mystery, and raw power into uncharted territory.
DC today announced that Zatanna by Jamal Campbell and The Fury of Firestorm by Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre will expand DC’s Next Level initiative in April, spotlighting bold, creator-forward comics that put fan-favorite characters into the hands of some of the industry’s most exciting talent. As DC: All In enters its second act, these Next Level launches stand alongside major new storylines across DC’s ongoing and limited series within its main universe and Absolute universe, expanding the scope and the future of DC’s storytelling.

THE FURY OF FIRESTORM
First Issue Arrives April 1, 2026
The Nuclear Man goes Next Level with Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre!
The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts…experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?
Brought to you by the acclaimed team of Jeff Lemire (Absolute Flash, JSA) and Rafael DeLatorre (The Penguin), this explosive new series ignites the next major chapter of DC’s Next Level line.
