DC's September 2020 solicitations and covers

(Image credit: DC)

DC's Dark Nights: Death Metal limited series is taking a planned break in September, but the 'Death Metal' world tour rolls on with other tie-in releases - as well as other major happenings in the DC line.

In Mariko Tamaki's imminent takeover of the Wonder Woman title, a new villain named Liar Liar will debut, but the character has some apparent ties to a familiar face from DC's past.

And if you're a fan of hero vs. hero battle, prepare for a unique main event in Batman/Superman Annual #1 - Mr. Mxyzptlk vs. Bat-Mite.

Elsewhere, writer Ram V and artist Fernando Blanco will be taking over the ongoing Catwoman title in September - but eagle-eyed Newsarama readers will remember we reported on that earlier in the year.

September will also see the finale of two long-running DC titles - Shazam! and the Sandman Universe's Books of Magic series are set to end.

And finally, writer Joshua Williamson has a big month - not only will he be bringing his multi-year Flash run to a close, but he'll also be taking over DC's Justice League title - just in time to pilot it into the 'Death Metal' event.

And with Newsarama’s new site comes a new browsing experience.

If you see arrows in the image boxes and an “Image 1 of x” in the upper left corner, there are multiple variant covers to check out. Click the left and right arrows to see them all. 

And all images can be expanded with the compass key in the lower right hand corner too!
