After the huge success of The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country and the announcement of a new Dead Boy Detectives series, DC Black label has now announced collected editions of, and a continuation to, James Tynion’s series. The new title will be called The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country – The Glass House. The best news is, there will be more to come after that too!

Here’s the full press release, direct from DC Comics:

DC Black Label’s
‘The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country’
Comic Book Series
Returns in 2023 with
‘Nightmare Country: The Glass House’

‘The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country’ Vol. 1
To Simultaneously Publish as a
Collectible Hardcover and a New-Reader-Friendly Softcover,
Built to Welcome Fans to ‘The Sandman Universe’

New DC Comic Book Series
‘The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives’
Launches December 27

Acclaimed horror writer James Tynion IV (Something Is Killing The Children, The Nice House On The Lake) has waited his whole career to pay tribute to the mythos of The Sandman, the work that made him the writer he is today, and now that time has come! With lush, gorgeous art from Redneck’s Lisandro Estherren and a who’s-who of superstar guest artists, The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country is designed to welcome new readers into one of the greatest worlds in DC’s library, The Sandman Universe.

To make welcoming new readers easier, the collected edition of The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country arrives in two different formats. The collectible hardcover release with cover art by Alex Eckman-Lawn will be available wherever books are sold and is packaged with a mini-print of the iconic Death, as illustrated by artist Jenny Frison.

A softcover edition with cover art by Reiko Murakami, priced as an easy jump-on point, will be available exclusively at direct market comic book stores. Both are out April 4, the same day as the launch issue of Nightmare Country’s spectacular follow-up miniseries, The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country – The Glass House!

James Tynion IV:

I’m thrilled to announce that Nightmare Country’s follow-up miniseries, The Glass House, is coming early in 2023.

 

The Corinthian is going to be making his way to Silicon Valley, where he will go head-to-head with Angels, Demons, and a breed of creature far more terrifying that anything he’s faced before, Venture Capitalists.

 

Lisandro and I are excited to continue this nightmare tour through modern America and can’t wait for you all to see what we’ve got in store for you.

The Sandman Universe: Nightmare Country – The Glass House, launching on April 4, 2023, brings Tynion and Estherren back into DC’s The Sandman Universe with a new story and new setting for the second act of their DC Black Label epic. The series will continue featuring covers by Reiko Murakami, as seen above.

Launching between the first two Nightmare Country narratives is The Sandman Universe: Dead Boy Detectives by Pornsak Pichetshote (The Good Asian) and Jeff Stokely, featuring Thessaly the witch along with series regular ghost detectives Edwin and Charles.

Their investigation into a Thai American girl’s disappearance from her Los Angeles home puts them on a collision course with new and terrifying ghosts straight from Thai folklore that could give even a dead boy nightmares!

How exciting is that? As a fan of Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Universe for over 30 years, this news is a dream come true.

As an added bonus, check out the main cover for Dead Boy Detectives #1 and the updated Sandman Universe reading guide, which now includes book six of the beautiful new collected editions!

Stories Change the World, the brand new line in the Ordinary People Change the World series, has teamed up with DC Comics to bring you two new books about the most well-known superheroes ever created, I Am Superman & I Am Batman. This series is dedicated to fictional characters and creators, reminding our kids about the true power of imagination, and what better way to focus on imagination than to showcase these amazing comic book characters?

Both books are written by New York Times best-selling author Brad Meltzer (Justice League of America, Identity Crisis) and illustrated by the very talented Christopher Eliopoulos.

I Am Superman

I Am Superman cover, companion to I Am Batman

Faster than a speeding bullet, more powerful than a locomotive, able to leap tall buildings in a single bound…

Yet before he was Superman, he was rocketed from the planet Krypton and raised as Clark Kent by two of the kindest, nicest people in Smallville. And even before that, he was simply an idea in the minds of two creative teenagers, Jerry Siegel and Joe Shuster. At seventeen years old, they gave the world something to believe in.

This adventurous and fun introduction to Superman comes from the team who brought you the New York Times bestselling biography series Ordinary People Change the World. Now, they’re featuring the fictional characters who have sparked the imaginations of generations of kids.

The Dark Knight. The Caped Crusader. The World’s Greatest Detective.

Yet before Batman became the protector of Gotham City, he was Bruce Wayne—a young boy full of fears after losing his parents. And even before that, he was simply an idea in the minds of artist Bob Kane and writer Bill Finger, who wanted to show people the power of an ordinary person.

This adventurous and fun introduction to Batman comes from the team who brought you the New York Times bestselling biography series Ordinary People Change the World. Now, they’re featuring the fictional characters who have sparked the imaginations of generations of kids.

But can either of them win the fight when neither of them can remember why they’re fighting, nor escape?  Will Batman even remember that he’s got to find a way back to Catwoman, all the while trying to figure out how to get back to Gotham City?  And just what is Harley Quinn doing here?

Based on a story concept by series consultant and Chief Creative Officer of Epic Games, Donald Mustard, this six issue limited series is written by Christos Gage, featuring pencils by Reilly Brown, with inks by Nelson Faro DeCastro and colors by John Kalisz.

And as readers saw in Nightwing #78, there’s a new furry friend in town! This is Nightwing’s heroic three-legged puppy, “Bitewing” by fans.

Fans are encouraged to vote online for their favorite name—Haley, Shadow, Blue or Hope—between now and March 30 by way of a DC UNIVERSE INFINITE POLL. The option with the most votes will become her new namesake! Yes, it is a her!

And coming up in Nightwing #79, in addition to the first appearance of a new character, Heartless, Dick Grayson has inherited Alfred’s fortune, a puppy, and a whole lot of questions. Who is Mayor Zucco, and what is her relation to the man who murdered Dick’s parents? What sinister plans does Blockbuster have for Blüdhaven? What kind of dog food is best for a three-legged puppy? To answer these questions, Dick’s going to need a little help from his friends—past and present. Take a look at the first few pages of Nightwing #79, due to hit shelves on April 20.
