City Boy

2024

Explore the DC Universe like never before alongside City Boy, in a major series in DC’s We Are Legends initiative, starring all-new legendary Asian-American heroes! We Are Legends expands the DC Universe with authentic stories starring characters of Asian descent, as told by Asian talent! Meet a new Korean hero named…City Boy! Or at least, that’s the best translation of what the cities call him. City Boy, a.k.a. Cameron Kim, is just trying to make a living by using his powers of being able to speak to cities to find lost and hidden goods to pawn, and it’s only just enough to get by. And those abilities mean he hears everything everywhere all the time, including each city’s histories and the truths behind them. (It’s very loud in his head and something he has to live with.) As his powers get stronger, the cities start forming animal avatars from scraps in order to physically travel alongside him on his adventures. Of course, Gotham is a rat avatar made of city scraps, but what about Metropolis, Blüdhaven, Amnesty Bay, or even Themyscira? And not all cities are so kind… Written by comics superstar Greg Pak and illustrated by Minkyu Jung, this volume collects City Boy #1-6, the debut of a brand-new hero with a never-before-seen connection to the DC Universe!

The Vigil

2024

WHO ARE THE VIGIL? Meet a mysterious new South Asian superteam operating in the shadow, in a key part of DC’s We Are Legends initiative, introducing all-new Asian-American heroes! We Are Legends expands the DC Universe with authentic stories starring characters of Asian descent, as told by Asian talent! The Vigil is Arclight, Saya, Dodge, and Castle, a group of individuals given powers they didn’t want, determined to stop metahuman research and tech created for military applications at any cost. Along the way, they’ll encounter super heroes that could be allies or enemies, not a surprise for a group that exists to shut down state-sponsored superhumans… and clean up the mess before any hero or villain arrives, as if both the crime and The Vigil were never there. The Vigil is written by Ram V (the acclaimed writer of Detective Comics, Catwoman, The Many Deaths of Laila Starr) and powerfully illustrated by Lalit Kumar Sharma ( Daredevil, Firefly )! Uncover a top-secret metahuman conspiracy in this enigmatic new series! This volume collects The Vigil #1-6.
