FIVE YEAR ONE BOOKS COMING

[All Star Batman]

Next year, DC Comics will turn back the clock on four characters and one team, and tell of beginnings.

In 2007, the publisher will launch five Year One miniseries, each one designed to streamline, clarify, or emphasize the start of a character(s) who will be playing major roles in the months to come. The five series are:

Green Arrow: Year One by Andy Diggle and Jock
Metamorpho: Year One by Dan Jurgens
Teen Titans: Year One by Amy Wolfram and Karl Kerschl
Black Lightning: Year One by Jen Van Meter and Cully Hamner
Huntress: Year One by Ivory Madison (w) and artist tba

That's pretty welcome. Huntress never got a very good origin, I felt.

Green Arrow origin is exciting to me at least

Green Arrow already had a year one miniseries, back before "year one" was a branded title name. It was a four issue series called The Wonder Year. Still, it's been more than fifteen years since that book, and as a huge Ollie fan I'm there regardless, I'm just glad that Winnick isn't the one writing it.

The others are all cool too, and it's great to see Black Lightning gradually being built up more and more and getting some love in the DCU over the past couple of years after so long in the comic book wilderness.
