In October 2024, DC Comics launched the "All In" initiative, a comprehensive publishing endeavor aimed at revitalizing its universe and providing accessible entry points for both new and returning readers. Spearheaded by writers Scott Snyder and Joshua Williamson, this initiative introduces fresh story arcs and creative teams across various titles, significantly impacting iconic characters such as Superman, Batman, and Wonder Woman. A cornerstone of this initiative is the "DC All In Special #1," a 64-page flipbook that offers dual narratives: one from Superman's perspective, hinting at forthcoming storylines, and another featuring Darkseid, which introduces the Absolute Universe—a new segment within the DC Multiverse.
The "All In" initiative revitalizes ongoing series with new story arcs and creative teams. Notable changes include Joshua Williamson continuing his run on Superman, exploring new challenges for the Man of Steel; Chip Zdarsky's ongoing run on Batman introducing "The Dying City," a storyline delving into Gotham's complexities; Tom King leading the Wonder Woman series into uncharted territories, redefining the Amazonian's journey; and Tom Taylor and Mikel Janín embarking on "Mercy of the Father" in Detective Comics, a narrative promising significant changes for Batman.
Additionally, the Absolute Universe offers reimagined versions of classic characters, providing fresh perspectives and narratives.
Overall, "All In" represents DC Comics' commitment to evolving its storytelling, offering both new and seasoned readers engaging and accessible narratives across its iconic titles.
