DC Comics Rebirth and September 2017 Solicitations Spoilers follow.
In addition to headlining a Detective Comics arc that sees Tim Drake / Red Robin seemingly escape Mr. Oz’s clutches (Batman solicitations spoilers here), Mr. Oz pulls double-duty and headlines a new Action Comics arc too starting in September 2017!
Action Comics begins the Oz Effect arc. Mr. Oz’s identity will be revealed in an arc that will have lenticular covers that was an “extra” DC Comics did for the “Button” cross-over between the Flash and the Batman series.
The Button saw the Watchmen narrative that begun in DC Universe Rebirth #1 with a major Dr. Manhattan revelation. It appears that this Action Comics will continue that as Doomsday Clock, the Superman vs. Dr. Manhattan / DC Rebirth vs. the Watchmen mini-series looms.
Is Mr. Oz the Watchmen’s Ozymandias or someone more personal to the Man of Steel?
