Screenwriter John Ridley’s The Other History of the DC Universe Debuts This November

The Other History of the DC Universe #1 Local Comic Shop Day Edition

The first cover is a variant cover of the first issue in celebration of Local Comic Shop Day. This will be taking place on November 25th, 2020, one day after the release of the first issue. This is the exclusive The Other History of the DC Universe #1 Local Comic Shop Day Edition. It features a silver metallic ink version of the cover of Book One by Jamal Campbell.

The Other History of the DC Universe #2

The second cover revealed an alternate cover to the second book. This book will go on sale on January 26th, 2021. It spotlights Mal Duncan and his wife Karen Beecher-Duncan (also known as Bumblebee). One recently revealed cover shows Mal in his Guardian costumed identity. While this one shows him in his earlier identity as the Teen Titans’ The Herald.

The Other History of the DC Universe is a five-issue bi-monthly series. It features a never before told story that gives us a new provocative perspective on the World’s Greatest Super Heroes. It presents major events from throughout the history of DC through the eyes of its heroes of color. These include Black Lightning, Mal and Karen Duncan, Renee Montoya, Katana, and Thunder.

I am very excited to get my hands on this story. I am a little bummed out that it will be bi-monthly. But it is better than being promised monthly and then experiencing delays. The covers look fantastic, I look forward to collecting them all!
