A new era of DC Comics is about to kick off, starting with Infinite Frontier #0 on March 2. As Future State ends, the publisher's comics will shift back to the present and will branch off in a whole new direction. Infinite Frontier promises to return to DC's ongoing series, but also to introduce elements from Future State, including a new series following the new Wonder Woman, Yara Flor.
DC Comics' line-wide relaunch begins with a 64-page one-shot from a host of creative talent that will write and draw the first issue that debuts in March. Alongside this, DC has been teasing fans with new looks throughout the past week. One preview image revealed the new look of Scarecrow, who is set to be the big bad of Batman's story post-Infinite Frontier #0, while another featured a new look at Yara Flor's Wonder Girl, among many other teases. Infinite Frontier's first issue will set up the year in comics to come, setting the stage for new mysteries, surprises, returning characters, new characters, and the storylines to come.
DC just offered fans a new look at multiple full pages from Infinite Frontier #0, showcasing art in the one-shot's different chapters. All five pages are drawn, inked, and colored by different sets of teams, representing the individual comic storylines each chapter will set up. The issue will feature many of DC's most popular heroes and is a must-read for all comic book fans. The pages that were tweeted out were cropped versions of full pages, which can be seen below:
Armed with his fear toxin, Scarecrow's brand-new look amps up the Batman villain's scariness. It looks like this version of Scarecrow will be injecting his victims, yet he still wears his iconic gas mask. The full-page look at Wonder Girl shows two female agents closing in on a happy looking Yara Flor. Her assailants are likely part of the forces that DC teased will threaten Yara as she moves to Brazil in Wonder Girl #1. At the end of Death Metal #7, Wonder Woman ascended beyond the mortal realm and has settled on a new, mystical look. As seen in the full-page preview with Jonathon Kent as Superman, Wonder Woman hovers in the background with The Spectre. It seems like she is gazing at the events that come next since her departure from the mortal realm.
The fourth full-page preview that DC has released is part of the Green Lanterns storyline, which will follow Green Lanterns John Stewart, Teen Lantern, and Sojourner "Jo" Mullein. In the preview, the all-Lantern team is at the center of the universe. Their story will tease the series' focus on the newly formed United Planets and the decision of who is best fit to protect the universe from danger. The final page sees the Teen Titans welcoming a younger generation of potential heroes outside the Titans Tower. Among the new Titans students will be Shazam, a new speedster, and a character known as the Red X, who is seen pulling a mask out of their backpack.
The brand-new previews that DC has released look promising for the future to come. Dangerous villains threaten to expose the weaknesses of our greatest heroes and although many legacy characters continue, lots of new faces will populate this new era. As DC's new Infinite Frontier storylines begin, a fresh and exciting year of comics lay ahead, all set up in the publisher's hotly-anticipated one-shot issue coming March 2.
