In an interview with The Hollywood Reporter, writer Tom Taylor has revealed he and “DCeased” artist Trevor Hairsine, colorist Rain Beredo, and letterer Saida Temofont, are returning for a sequel this summer. Titled “DCeased: Dead Planet,” the new series will pick up five years later, when the surviving heroes living on Earth 2 receive a distress call from their old zombie-infested homeworld, and decide to investigate.
Taylor told the Reporter, “We may have killed off the Justice League but, at the same time, we carefully created a new Justice League to take their place. Jon Kent and Damian Wayne were positioned to inherit the mantles of their fallen fathers as a new Superman and Batman. Cassie Sandsmark survived the battle between the Amazons and the Atlanteans to become the new Wonder Woman. Mera also survived this attack, so a monarch of Atlantis is still there as Aquawoman. Wallace survived to be the new Flash. Black Canary was chosen to be the next Green Lantern after Hal’s death. Black Lightning is still around along with his powered daughters, Anissa and Jennifer.” He also said, “A potential cure is a big part of the DCequel. But, of course, it won’t be that easy.”
“DCeased: Dead Planet” #1 releases June 10: in the meantime, head on over to the Reporter for unlettered interior art, and more cover artwork from David Finch and Francesco Mattina.
