DC has released their solicitations for all ongoing titles for the month of July 2015. July finds the All-New Batman (whose identity has now been leaked early) hitting the streets in the pages of Batman and Detective Comics. Batgirl continues her fight against the All-New Batman in her ongoing title while having a run-in with Spyral and potentially Dick Grayson in Batgirl Annual #3. Meanwhile, Dick Grayson is forced to confront Lex Luthor for the first time since Forever Evil in Grayson #42 and Damian faces the greatest rivals of the al Ghul family in Robin: Son of Batman #2.
Stephanie Brown makes a surprise appearance in Catwoman #42 and the group of Robins needs a leader in We Are Robin #2. Harley Quinn continues her adventures with her gang of Harleys and with Power Girl, while Black Canary and her band mates get into a fight. The Justice League continues their war with Darkseid and the Justice League of America deals with an armada of religious zealots from space. The GCPD Midnight shift has to deal with the toll of their work in Gotham by Midnight #7 and we get a tale of one of Gotham’s oldest ghost stories in Gotham by Midnight Annual #1.
The prequel comic for Batman: Arkham Knight continues and we get the beginning of a special new miniseries Batman: Arkham Knight – Genesis which will give the new villain of the upcoming video game a backstory. Additionally, July brings a comic tie-in for Justice League: God’s and Monsters. All of this and more including the continuation of titles like Batman Beyond, Bat-Mite, Red Hood/Arsenal, Midnighter, Injustice, Batman ’66, and Teen Titans will be coming in July.
