DC Comics announces a new six-issue event series titled Earth-Prime featuring completely canon Arrowverse stories and an epic cross-over finale.
DC announced Earth-Prime, a new event series culminating in an Arrowverse team-up featuring the popular CW superheroes.
The three-month, six-issue series will focus on a different CW show for the first five issues, gradually building to an epic crossover finale. With stories approved by CW television producers and written by the series’ writers, the event comic will be fully canon and cover the entirety of the currently-running Arrowverse. Batwoman and Superman and Lois, represented in Earth-Prime #1 and Earth-Prime #2, respectively, will be joined by DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, DC’s Stargirl and The Flash. In addition to being many superheroes’ first canon team-up, the comics promise to show new sides to the large roster of characters while featuring the return of a shifty old foe.
In a major Arrowverse debut, Earth-Prime #1 will see Javicia Leslie’s Ryan Wilder face off against the classic villain Clayface when his mud binds to a Gotham high schooler. Written by Batwoman series writers Natalie Abrams and Kelley Larson with art by Clayton Henry and some help from series star Camrus Johnson, the story will also give Luke Fox, aka Batwing, a love interest. Each subsequent issue promises similar bonus material created by cast members.
The second issue of Earth-Prime will be drawn by Tom Grummett and Norm Rapmund and follows Clark Kent and Lois Lane (portrayed by Tyler Hoechlin and Elizabeth Tulloch in the show) attempting to celebrate their first wedding anniversary. Superman & Lois writers Adam Mallinger, Jai Jamison and Andrew Wong are lending their pens to the comic and will explore how Superman turned evil in the parallel world of John Henry Irons (Wolé Parks).
While no details have been announced for the remaining issues, each story will tease the impending finale. A brief cameo from John Diggle (David Ramsey) aside, this will be the first major cross-over for both Superman & Lois and Stargirl and the new Justice Society of America, hinting at more interdimensional hijinks to come. The comics will also mark the first full team-up of the Arrowverse characters since the television event “Crisis on Infinite Earths” concluded in 2020.
Earth-Prime #1 releases on April 5 in print and online, with Earth-Prime #2 following April 19. Both issues will feature cover art by Kim Jacinto, and photo variant covers of CW stars will be included with each issue.
