Gail Simone (Batgirl) and Freddie Williams III want you to join The Movement! DC Comics shared a first look at art from next month’s new politically charged comic book.
Simone teased the roster of the book including a new character she introduced in The New 52 Batgirl run.
“It’s mostly new characters, but a couple might have subtle ties to the DCU at large,” Simone told Comic Book Resources. “I am absolutely in love with the core cast, I think they’re fresh and thrilling and unlike the characters in any other comic. That said, sharp-eyed readers have already spotted two familiar characters; Katharsis, the brutal avenger from the popular Knightfall arc in BATGIRL, and Tremor, a wonderful badass character who appeared in the pre-[New] 52 SECRET SIX. It’s a cast of favorites for me; I haven’t had this much fun with a cast since the Secret Six!”
The Movement begins May 1. The Green Team is DC’s other politically-themed book coming soon.
