DC Comics have announced “Truth and Justice,” a digital-first anthology series, with the creative team of writer Geoffrey Thorne (Avengers: Black Panther’s Quest) and artists Chris Cross (“Captain Marvel”) and Jordi Tarragona (“Hal Jordan and the Green Lantern Corps”) onboard for the first three issues.
The anthology series will focus on the titular concepts that are innate to the publisher’s stories, and explore a variety of characters across the series, while also providing a “platform for new, emerging storytellers” to show their interpretations of DC’s catalogue. The first three issues will focus on Mari McCabe A.K.A. Vixen, as she teams up with Dr. Mist and Impala of the Global Guardians to defeat an ancient deity that has taken control of the body of a scientist investigating magical artifacts. Details as to the next creative team taking the reigns, or the characters featured in the anthology were not announced, with the press release only teasing that future issues of “Truth and Justice” will “showcase the heart and spirit of the wide-ranging characters featured across DC’s Multiverse.”
“Truth and Justice” #1 will debut on January 8, 2021, with the anthology continuing weekly. The first three issues will be collected in a 40-page print edition which is scheduled for release on February 16, 2021.

Vixen makes her Truth & Justice entrance in a story written by Geoffrey Thorne (Future State: Green Lantern, Law & Order: Criminal Intent, Marvel’s Avengers: Black Panthers Quest), with art by Chris Cross and Jordi Tarragona.
Mari McCabe is many things: superhero, model, activist; but can she add god-killer to the list? Vixen teams up with Dr. Mist and Impala of the Global Guardians to face down an ancient deity that’s taken over the body of a scientist investigating powerful magical artifacts. Vixen will need to dig deep and use all the abilities in the animal kingdom to face down this powerful primeval threat!
Subsequent installments of Truth & Justice will showcase the heart and spirit of the wide-ranging characters featured across DC’s Multiverse. With an endless array of characters to choose from—heroes, villains, aliens, animals—you name it, we have it!
