DC’s September 2023 Solicitations

DC has posted their full complement of solicitations for September 2023, and here are all the ones relating to the Flash. That month sees the relaunch of the new Flash solo title, which is written by Si Spurrier with art by Mike Deodato Jr, and continues to feature Wally West in the primary role. Wally also appears in the Titans ongoing and World’s Finest: Teen Titans limited series, so he’s kept busy these days.

Wally West has never been quicker, more fulfilled, more heroic. His loving family is around him. And yet something is off. Very off. His evolving understanding of his powers has opened Wally to new avenues of sci-fi adventure and attuned his senses to strange new ideas. Something whispers from the dark vibrations beyond the Speed Force, and as Wally experiments with creative new approaches to his powers he encounters new realms, mysterious allies, and mind-shattering terrors.

Batman is the World’s Greatest Detective. But can he also live up to his other accolade of world’s greatest dad?
Being a father to an endless supply of adopted, fostered, and biological children is its own challenge. But when you’re Batman, surrounded by a slew of super-powered (and not) teenagers, you’ll need every bit of your intellect to manage the brood. And Wayne Manor can barely contain the antics of Nightwing, Batgirl, Red Hood, Orphan, Spoiler, a few Robins, and newcomer Duke Thomas, a.k.a. the Signal, as they learn not only what it is to be heroes, but what it means to be a family.
In this continuing story, we are greeted by a few newcomers, including Catwoman, Superboy, Impulse, Wonder Girl, and other well-known faces from Gotham City and beyond in stories about dating, learning to drive, going on patrol, and simply what it means to be a teenage superhero.
Written by CRC Payne with inks by Starbite, this volume collects episodes 26-51 of WEBTOON’s Eisner-nominated series, optimized for a brand-new reading experience in print. Includes never-before-seen bonus content from the creators themselves!
