Superman, Batman, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman News: DC Characters to Have Young Adult Graphic Novels Next Year
In its attempt to familiarize today's young readers with characters that were highly celebrated by the past generations, DC Entertainment has announced its bid to release a new young adult prose that will tackle the young adult lives of Superman, Batman, Catwoman, and Wonder Woman.
Wonder Woman's story will kick off the series once it is released in August 2017. Her story will be penned by Leigh Bardugo while Marie Lu, Matt de la Pena, and Sarah J. Maas will squeeze their creative juices in telling the tales of Batman, Superman, and Catwoman, respectively, as young adults.
Fans of the above-mentioned superheroes can expect their favorite character to engage in battles against evil, young romance, and come face to face with other superheroes in their respective novels.
The novels are a partnership deal between DC and Warner Bros. Consumer Products. Earlier this year, the business partners also released "DC Super Hero Girls," a cross-media aiming at young girls aging between six and 12. Last year, DC and Warner Bros. Consumer Products also released "Lois Lane: Fallout," which is also a young adult novel that follows the adventures of Superman's love interest. Its sequel, "Lois Lane: Double Down," is coming out next month.
Speaking of "DC Super Hero Girls," DC Entertainment has recently announced that its "DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis" is getting a sequel, too. While the said graphic novel is set to be released on July 5, young fans of the young DC superheroes and their parents can already look forward to its sequel titled "Super Hero Girls: Hits & Myths," which is slated for a November 2 release this year.
"Super Hero Girls: Hits & Myths" will follow the adventures of Wonder Woman, Batgirl, Supergirl, and their friends in their quest to rescue their teacher from a prison in the underworld. However, they will face off with a Cyclops, ask help from a witch, and escape the siren first before reaching their destination.
