Future State: All of DC's Superman Family Comics in February 2021

DC Comics has begun revealing tis lineup of February 2021 titles, including the second half of DC's ambitious Future State event. IGN can exclusively reveal the cover art and plot details for the entire Superman Family line in February. Check out the slideshow gallery below to get a closer look at these new books, as DC continues revealing the fates of Superman and Wonder Woman a decade in the future and beyond. [widget path="global/article/imagegallery" parameters="albumSlug=future-state-all-of-dcs-superman-family-comics-in-february-2021&captions=true"] In case you missed the original announcement, Future State is a massive, two month-long crossover taking place in January and February 2021, immediately after DC's Dark Nights: metal crossover ends on January 6. The crossover will flash forward ten years into the future of the DC Universe. In this future, Kal-El has been exiled from Earth, leaving his son Jon to take up the Superman mantle. Meanwhile, a new Amazon heroine named Yara Flor will become Wonder Woman though Future State will also focus on fellow Wonder Women Diana of Themyscira and Nubia. As these solicitations show, Future State will even venture further down the DC timeline. Future State: House of El will showcase the descendants of Superman, while Future State: Imperious Lex pits Lex Luthor against an aged Superman and Lois Lane on the distant world of Lexor. Future State is also introducing a brand new version of Batman, one who will fill the void left after Bruce Wayne's apparent death. That character will be the focal point of John Ridley and Nick Derington's Batman story. With DC revealing its February lineup today, that means fans probably only have one more month until they learn what DC has planned for March 2021. While the DC line will return to the present day in March, we don't know how exactly the company plans on moving forward after Future State or what monthly books they'll be publishing at that point. That said, we can probably expect some sort of major relaunch in the vein of 2016's DC Rebirth, though we now know Death Metal won't rewrite DC continuity in the vein of past Crisis events.
