A funny thing happened on the way to the Dawn of the DCU...
... the sun didn't rise.
A volcano exploded, however.
Despite January being the start of the new year (happy comic book New Year, btw!) and despite Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths being in its rear-view mirror, the Dawn of the DCU is not mentioned by name in the publisher's January 2023 solicitations.
We've got the start of Lazarus Planet, which explodes (it's wordplay!) out of Batman vs. Robin; we've got more of the New Golden Age, which spins out of Flashpoint Beyond; and we got the start of a new era for Superman in Action Comics #1051, but if you read through the solicits you'll find no mention of Dark Crisis or the Dawn of the DCU.
Well, almost none - Black Adam #7 says it catches up to the events of the limited series.
Anyways, it looks as if DC might be holding out the Dawn of the DCU changes and new launches until after readers can enjoy the revelations of Dark Crisis on Infinite Earths #7 in December and the Dawn of the DCU preview epilogues it will almost certainly have. But that will have to wait.
So check out all of DC's January 2023 solicitations and covers and you can also check out the DC October 2022 solicitations, the DC November 2022 solicitations, and the DC December 2022 solicitations and/or scroll through all of DC and Marvel's most recent solicitations on our solicitations tab.
