DC Comics tease a “City of Bane” in this year’s 25-cent “DC’s Year of the Villain” one-shot

Last year, DC Comics released DC Nation ahead of Free Comic Book Day, which was a 25-cent comic that had stories from heavyweights like Tom King and Scott Snyder. Besides being a lot of comic for a dirt cheap price, DC Nation also serves as a preview for some of 2018’s biggest storylines.

In an exclusive with the Hollywood Reporter, DC are at it again this year with another quarter dollar comic: DC’s Year of the Villain.

That does not sound oppressive or ominous at all.

The one-shot will drop on May 1 and will feature new material from Scott Snyder, Jim Cheung, Brian Michael Bendis, James Tynion IV, Francis Manapul, and Alex Maleev, with stories that will tie into the Superman, Justice League, and The Batman Who Laughs titles. An upcoming Batman story titled “City of Bane” will also be hinted at, though details on the are relatively scarce. The main cover will be from Greg Capullo, with variants from Alex Maleev, Jim Cheung, and Artgerm.

Stay tuned for more information as we hear it.

Interesting that Tom King isn't mentioned considering Bane is the big bad of his run.

I was thinking the same thing. I'm not the biggest fan of King's run, but I hope they don't have someone else finish it, especially not Tynion. Just tell king he has to end at issue 75.

Batman-News owners can you please remove that annoying CNX slideshow stuff? It doesn't make the site better in any way.

As for the story, big meh. It feels like we have already been focusing on villains. This doesn't excite me at all :(

I think that's Perpetua, the new villainess from Snyder's Justice League

I actually earn about $6,000-$8,000 monthly online. It is actually adequate to easily replace my previous jobs income, especially considering I just work about 20 hour every week from home.I lost my job after working for the same company for years, I needed reliable earnings, I was not interested in the "get rich quick" home packages you can see all over the internet. Those are typical pyramid schemes or stuff where you need to sell to your friends and family. I basically wanted a legitimate method to earn a living for me and my family members. The greatest benefit of working on line is that I am always home with the little kids, I save a good amount of money. Honestly,it is actually simpler than you would think, all you have to do is submit a simple form to get front line access to the Home Profit System . You don't have to be a computer whiz, but you should be aware how to use the internet. If you can fill up forms and surf web-sites, you can do it easily, You don't need to sell anything at all and no-one has to buy anything . It's as easy as being on Facebook or twitter.Here's how to get started->-> DISCOVER
