Article Summary
- DC Next Level’s San Diego Comic-Con panel spotlights Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and Deadshot news.
- Michael Walsh joins the DC Next Level panel without a named title, fueling Jonah Hex announcement speculation.
- Stephanie Williams is tipped for a possible DC Next Level Vixen reveal, with Gerry Duggan news also in play.
- DC Next Level expands DC All In with accessible new series for fan-favorite heroes like Zatanna, Firestorm, and more.
DC Comics is holding its DC Next Level panel at San Diego Comic-Con, and Bleeding Cool continues to read the tea leaves. They list creators and the DC Next Level title they are associated with. Joshua Williamson and Hayden Sherman for Legion of Super-Heroes, Kyle Higgins for Teen Titans, Gerry Duggan for the Next Level: One-Shot with Deadshot, and Michael Walsh… with no comic book named
Might this be an opportunity to announce that he is on Jonah Hex, as many presume? And might Stephanie Williams also be on the panel to announce a new Vixen comic book, as we have already been reading in those tea leaves (and Scott Snyder‘s wink to crowds)? She is a guest of the show after all. And might we also hear more from Gerry Duggan beyond the one-shot?

DC Next Level is a 2026 publishing initiative from DC Comics, serving as the “second act” of the broader DC All In era which began in late 2024. It follows the conclusion of the DC K.O. event in March 2026 and focuses on creator-driven, accessible stories featuring underutilised or fan-favourite characters and teams in the main DC Universe continuity, including Lobo, Batwoman, Deathstroke: The Terminator, Firestorm, Zatanna, Barbara Gordon, and The Deadman, with more like Jonah Hex, Shadow Of The Bat, The Demon, Legion of Super-Heroes, Teen Titans, and Doom Patrol to come.
