It's no joke, DC's full April 2024 comic book solicitations have arrived, with the start of the next big Superman story, DC's Free Comic Book Day offerings, and much, much more.
That big Superman event is titled 'House of Brainiac,' and as the title implies it involves Brainiac, the world conquering alien intelligence that is one of Superman's oldest and most powerful foes. This time, he's bringing an army of Lobo clones to Metropolis, with the first three parts of the story arriving in April's issues of Action Comics, Superman, and a special House of Brainiac one-shot.
But that's not the only DC event kicking off in DC's April solicitations. Arriving in the first week of May, DC has included its Free Comic Book Day releases in the April solicits, with several offerings for fans who venture out to local comic stores. Along with FCBD editions of the new Barda graphic novel, an all-ages Barkham Asylum comic about the super-pets of Gotham City, and a Mad Magazine sampler, DC will use its fourth FCBD release to announce a still top secret summer event that will engulf the DC Universe in 2024. Details of the event, including the name, will likely be revealed in the FCBD one-shot, making it an important one to watch.
Then, in Batman's corner of the DC Universe, April's Poison Ivy #21 will show readers a new look at the first meeting of Batman and Poison Ivy way back in the day, while Harley Quinn Annual 2024 is a special issue from writer/artist Erica Henderson which involves Harley helping Zatanna clear her name of murder charges while on a massive cruise ship.
But that's just scratching the surface of another packed month of releases. Read on for a closer look at some of the biggest highlights from DC's April 2024 solicitations followed by all of the comics and trades. If you still want more, you can also check out all of Marvel and DC's recent listings here on our solicitations tab.
DC's Superman Superstars initiative got off to a flying start last week with Jason Aaron and John Timms' takeover of Action Comics. We already know that the next run will be helmed by Joshua Williamson and Rafa Sandoval and will see an army of Lobo's attacking Metropolis, but it sounds like Action Comics #1064 will also see Superman and Lex Luthor form an uneasy alliance once more - always an interesting dynamic.
April will also shine a spotlight on Dick Grayson. The original Boy Wonder has been many things in his decades of crime-fighting, from Batman's first Robin to a mighty hero in his own right as Nightwing. Quite the career! But it sounds like Nightwing #300, by Tom Taylor and a selection of as-yet-unnamed artists, will cast him in another intriguing new light. There's also a very fun-looking annual from Travis Moore that's set to reveal the secret origins of Bea Bennett's life before she became a pirate queen.
My final pick for April is Birds of Prey. Kelly Thompson has really brought this team back to life in a very fun way. March's #7 promised a "New mission! New team!" and now we know that means the addition of Vixen to the line-up in #8. If you've not been reading this book so far, trust us, it's great. Until next month, happy reading.
