DC has announced that the fallout from Dark Nights: Death Metal will lead to DC Future State, a two-month, line-wide event beginning in January 2021. February will feature a combination of monthly and twice-monthly oversize anthologies, as well as a monthly schedule of miniseries and one-shots starring current and future DC heroes.

March 2021 will see DC’s normal publishing lineup return, continuing existing storylines from 2020 and introducing new arcs for the year.
The creative lineup for DC Future State includes Mariko Tamaki, Brian Michael Bendis, Gene Luen Yang, Joëlle Jones, Joshua Williamson, Nicola Scott, Cully Hamner and John Timms, along with new voices such as award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years A Slave), Brandon Vietti (Young Justice), Meghan Fitzmartin (Supernatural, DC Super Hero Girls), Brandon Easton (Thundercats, Transformers: War for Cybertron), Alitha Martinez (REPRESENT! It’s A Bird!), L.L. McKinney (Nubia: Real One), Paula Sevenbergen (Stargirl) and Siya Oum (Lola XOXO), among others.
The DC Future State event will be split into Batman, Superman, and Justice League Family of titles consisting of oversized comics, monthly miniseries, and one-shots.
