DC Announces Another New Imprint, Grand Theft Auto News and More! – ComicCorp News


Grand Theft Auto News – Grand Theft Auto IV is getting a massive update on Xbox One for some reason. The size of the file is 579.35 MB but there’s no real explanation as to why.

In other Grand Theft Auto news, we have our first rumors about GTA VI. According to the Know Crew, GTA will launch VI in 2022, around the time the PlayStation 5 is expected to be released. The series will return to Vice City allegedly, and one of the main characters will be a woman. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them go back to the multi-lead formula that made Grand Theft Auto V so successful.

The game is currently being called Project Americas and will see the main character(s) do illegal things, just like in the last…all installments. These are just rumors but some sites claim that the Knew Crew have a good track record.

DC Announces New Line – DC Comics has announced ‘Black Label’, a more mature line of comics that’ll feature major writers and illustrators working on non-canonical supehero stories. Examples provided are ‘The Watchmen’ and ‘The Killing Joke’

Here’s a list of books for this new imprint;

SUPERMAN: YEAR ONE by Frank Miller and John Romita Jr.

A groundbreaking, definitive treatment of Superman’s classic origin story in honor of his 80th anniversary. This story details new revelations that reframe the Man of Steel’s most famous milestones—from Kal-El’s frantic exile from Krypton, to Clark Kent’s childhood in Kansas, to his inevitable rise to become the most powerful and inspiring superhero of all time.

BATMAN: LAST KNIGHT ON EARTH by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo

Batman wakes up in a desert. He doesn’t know what year it is or how The Joker’s head is alive in a jar beside him, but it’s the beginning of a quest unlike anything the Dark Knight has undertaken before. In this strange future, villains are triumphant and society has liberated itself from the burden of ethical codes. Fighting to survive while in search of answers, Bruce Wayne uncovers the truth about his role in this new world—and begins the last Batman story ever told.

BATMAN: DAMNED by Brian Azzarello and Lee Bermejo

On a deserted Gotham City bridge, a body is found. Whispers spread the news: Joker is dead. But is this a dream come true or a nightmare being born? Now Batman and DC’s outlaw magician John Constantine must hunt the truth through a Gotham City hellscape. The city’s supernatural recesses are laced with hints about a killer’s identity, but the Dark Knight’s descent into horror will test his sanity and the limits of rationality, as he must face a horror that doesn’t wear a mask.

WONDER WOMAN HISTORIA: THE AMAZONS by Kelly Sue DeConnick and Phil Jimenez

A Homeric epic of the lost history of the Amazons and Queen Hippolyta’s rise to power. Featuring monsters and myths, this three-book saga spans history from the creation of the Amazons to the moment Steve Trevor washes up on the shores of Paradise Island, changing our world forever.

Wonder Woman: Diana’s Daughter (working title) by Greg Rucka

It’s been 20 years since the world stopped looking to the skies for hope, help, and inspiration. Now the world keeps its eyes down, and the powers that have risen have every intention of keeping things that way. Amongst a scattered, broken resistance, a young woman seeks to reclaim what has been forgotten, and on the way will learn the truth about herself, her heritage, and her destiny.

THE OTHER HISTORY OF THE DC UNIVERSE by John Ridley

A compelling literary series analyzing iconic DC moments and charting sociopolitical gains through the perspectives of DC Super Heroes who come from traditionally disenfranchised groups, including John Stewart, Extraño, Vixen, Supergirl, Katana and Rene Montoya, among others. At its core, the story focuses on the lives of those behind the costumes, and their endeavors to overcome real-world issues. It isn’t about saving the world, it’s about having the strength to simply be who you are.

New Shazam Images – The long awaited look at the Shazam costume is finally over….for real this time. After brief snippets, shots from behind, too far away and blurry; we now have genuine and accurate shots of the Shazam costume. Zachary Levi is seen full on in his Shazam costume. The hood is clearly there, as is the classic color scheme. However, Levi is clearly wearing extra padding in his suit; which isn’t uncommon.

Quick Hits – Rumors circulating that Pokemon may get a ‘reboot’ for their Nintendo Switch debut; no mention as to what this could mean. ‘Gotham’ has confirmed that they’ll be visiting the ‘Long Halloween’ and ‘No Man’s Land’ arcs. EW revealed some image from the upcoming ‘Supernatural’ crossover with Scooby Doo.

Mackenzie Davis is rumored to be joining the upcoming ‘Terminator’ reboot as it’s leading star. Jon Faverau is writing and producing the new live action ‘Star Wars’ series for Disney. CAPCOM met with Microsoft about something not yet known.
