The northern hemisphere is sweltering in the grip of summer, but DC is already looking ahead to autumn with the release of the publisher’s September 2021 solicitations, which are loaded up with a fresh harvest of new titles and stories.
DC is diving into a pair of seaworthy stories in September starting with Aquaman: The Becoming #1, in which Jackson Hyde graduates from being Aqualad to taking on the mantle of Aquaman – though the details of how this might come to pass and how it could affect the classic Aquaman Arthur Curry haven’t been revealed.
At the same time, the publisher is also prepping a new limited series for Aquaman villain Black Manta, one of the sea king’s oldest and most vicious foes who was once even responsible for killing Aquaman’s son. Black Manta is also the father of Jackson Hyde – so there’s a great chance the two stories will have some overlap, if not a direct connection.
Meanwhile, DC’s popular Harley Quinn and Poison Ivy will go on a honeymoon-style rampage in Harley Quinn: The Animated Series – The Eat, Bang, Kill Tour which embraces the R-rated tone of the HBO Max Harley Quinn show for a comic book follow up focusing on the clown princess of crime’s volatile romance with Ivy.
And speaking of villains, heading back into the DC Universe proper, Slade Wilson has a new title in the works for September in Deathstroke Inc., in which the deadly assassin will take on a slew of DC heroes for his latest adventure.
Along with these new beginnings, DC is also marking the end of at least one ongoing title in September, with Batman/Superman #22 closing off the most recent volume of the so-called ‘World’s Finest’ duo’s team-up title.
Even with all that, we’re only scratching the surface of DC’s September 2021 solicitations.
As our monthly reminder, many comic book titles have several variant covers to view so don’t forget to take a look at the top left of each image box to see if multiple images are available to view.
So check out all of DC’s September 2021 solicitations and covers and you can also check out the DC June 2021 solicitations, DC July 2021 solicitations, and DC August 2021 solicitations and/or scroll through all of DC and Marvel’s most recent solicitations on our solicitations tab.

With the blood dry at Gotham’s fourth gruesome murder scene in as many weeks, Batman is stumped. The same hallmarks haunt each investigation: brute-force entries, bodies ripped to shreds and stamped with enormous bite marks, and clumps of fur—wolf fur—scattered in the wreckage. The streets buzz with rumors of the “Werewolf of Gotham.” Determined to crack this case, Batman finds no leads and a mysterious, hairy, chain-smoking figure dogging his every move. The Dark Knight’s dangerously close to losing his cool when a series of bombings levels the city’s libraries in the days leading up to the 32nd annual Gotham Literary Festival.
As Batman narrows in on the Bookworm and his literary henchmen, he discovers that an invaluable book from another world is at the center of the violence. Stranger still, the wolf is in on it. But what kind of monster is built from such brains and brawn—and is he an enemy or an ally?
Worlds collide as a Gotham mystery kick-starts a return to the world of Fables!
