DC’s line of young adult graphic novels published through their DC Ink line has been a great idea from day one, and as evidenced by their announcement of a new slate of books, they seem to be doing really well too. We were fans of Mera: Tidebreaker in particular, and are excited to see what the line has in store in the future.
Next up is Teen Titans: Raven, which hits stores next month. A preview is available in copies of Under the Moon: A Catwoman Tale, and DC have released a trailer to build even more anticipation.
But that’s not all. DC are at BookCon 2019 this weekend and have revealed several new titles for the Ink line. Teen Titans: Beast Boy will join Raven as part of the Teen Titans series, and unsurprisingly, there are quite a few Batfamily titles in the works. Personally, Marieke Nijkamp and Manuel Preitano’s The Oracle Code is pretty exciting (for obvious reasons), along with the Dick Grayson-focused The Lost Carnival. It’s a good lineup through and through, though, so check out the trailer, details, and gallery below.
