‘Earth-Prime’ Is A New DC Comics Miniseries Set In The CW TV Universe
by Olly MacNamee
As part of its April solicitations listings, DC Comics have announced Earth-Prime, a new six-issue bi-weekly comic book series set in the popular TV shows broadcast on CW in America. Each issue will throw a shining light on one of the many super heroes featuring in shows such as Batwoman, Superman & Lois, and more. And it will all lead up to the grand finale serving as a cross-over in the last issue.
Here’s details of the first two issue coming in April:
EARTH-PRIME #1 (The CW’s Batwoman)
“Ryan Wilder, aka Batwoman, makes her costumed comic book debut in a story co-written by series writers Natalie Abrams and Kelley Larson, plus series cast member Camrus Johnson (Luke Fox/Batwing), with art by Clayton Henry.
Ever since the tech that created many of Batman’s rogues hit the streets, Ryan Wilder has been running herself ragged trying to contain the new villains popping up around Gotham City. But when Clayface’s (making his CW debut) mud binds itself to a local high schooler, Batwoman will need help from an unexpected source to contain this muddy foe! Also, follow how Luke Fox balances his life as a super hero and a boyfriend!”
EARTH-PRIME #2 (The CW’s Superman & Lois)
“Superman & Lois series writers Adam Mallinger, Jai Jamison and Andrew Wong join DC fan-favorite artists Tom Grummett and Norm Rapmund in a story spotlighting Clark Kent and Lois Lane’s first anniversary. Trying to celebrate their marital bliss is never easy when you’re a super hero husband and news reporter wife; especially when world-saving and creating hard-hitting stories continue to spoil your plans! Plus, the true origins of the evil Superman from John Henry Irons’ world are finally revealed!”
Both issues feature cover art by Kim Jacinto and will feature photo variant covers based on each individual show. Subsequent issues will spotlight The CW television shows DC’s Legends of Tomorrow, DC’s Stargirl and The Flash, all written or co-written by creative talent from the shows. Each issue will also include bonus material created by cast members of The CW shows, as well as “teasers” that will provide clues to the nature of the final crossover in issue #6
