Fans of DC comics are in for a real treat, as there will be a completely new series focused on the character of the Penguin. The story for them will be created by well-known m.in. from working on Batman (2022) Tom King.
Pingwin otrzyma własną serię komiksów od lubianego przez fanów scenarzysty Batmana, Toma Kinga. DC Comics opublikowało już przełomowe 800-setne numery Flasha, jak i Wonder Woman, a także tegoroczną antologię DC Pride, a teraz ogłoszono nową serię The Penguin. Pierwszy numer, napisany przez Kinga i z rysunkami Stefano Gaudiano, trafi do sprzedaży 20 czerwca. Wcześniej w tym miesiącu ogłoszono, że King dołączy do Michaela W. Conrada i Becky Cloonan w Wonder Woman #800, nim rozpocznie się nowy cykl z Danielem Sampere w Wonder Woman #1, we wrześniu.
Fans following Batman know that Oswald Cobblepot/Penguin ‘died’ in issue #125, and The Executioner sent Selina Kyle/Catwoman to track down Oswald’s next of kin and grant his last wish – history readers may be surprised by June 13’s The Penguin # 0 , which features backup stories from Batman #125-127 by Chip Zdarsky and Belen Ortega. Oswald isn’t really dead, he’s just ‘retired’ to Metropolis, but King’s new series will bring him back to Gotham City for a very unexpected reason.
