The expansion of the DC Universe continues to gain momentum as we move into the second act of the DC All In initiative. Following the highly anticipated March debuts of titles like Batwoman, Deathstroke: The Terminator, and Lobo, DC has officially pulled back the curtain on two massive additions scheduled for April 2026. These new series fall under the Next Level banner, a program designed to pair iconic characters with industry-leading creators to push the boundaries of modern superhero storytelling.
Leading the charge in April is the return of DC’s premiere stage magician in Zatanna, written and illustrated by the visionary Jamal Campbell. Known for his stunning visual world-building, Campbell is expected to bring a fresh, mystical perspective to the character as she navigates the shifting landscape of the DC Universe. Joining her on the stands is The Fury of Firestorm, a series that promises to reignite the “Nuclear Man” for a new era. This title boasts a powerhouse creative team with Jeff Lemire handling the script and Rafael De Latorre on art, ensuring a mix of high-stakes character drama and explosive action.

The Nuclear Man goes Next Level with Jeff Lemire and Rafael De Latorre!
The community of Bedford, Colorado, is a sleepy small town. The people say hello to their neighbors, attend town hall meetings, and root for the local high school football team on Friday nights. But this idyllic small town is thrown upside down when the Nuclear Man arrives and starts…experimenting. Firestorm has turned buildings to sand and people to glass with no remorse and no warning. But what exactly provoked Ronnie Raymond to commit this heinous act, and can anyone contain the fury that is Firestorm?
Brought to you by the acclaimed team of Jeff Lemire (Absolute Flash, JSA) and Rafael DeLatorre (The Penguin), this explosive new series ignites the next major chapter of DC’s Next Level line.
