Future state is shaping up to be the most excited I have been for DC Comics in years. Nubia is back in all her natural haired epicness!
Updating the classic Silver Age character Nubia, an Amazon who has occasionally replaced Diana as Wonder Woman. This is part of Future State, a two-month event that replaces DC’s regular publishing line, shows a possible future where a new generation of heroes have taken up the mantles of DC’s best-known characters.
“Peer into a closer future as the original champion of Themyscira strikes out on her own,” reads DC’s description of Nubia’s story in Immortal Wonder Woman #1.
“Things have not been stable on Paradise Island for some time, and Nubia has found a new home in Man’s World,” it continues. “Now, she is tasked with protecting it from the dangers of the world of myths and magic. The writer of DC’s Nubia: Real One, L.L. McKinney, takes this powerful Amazon to a whole new level.”
