DC Comics has ambitious plans for its most iconic villains this year. The publisher will release an ambitious comic called Year of the Villain #1 on Free Comic Book Day (May 1).
Like last year’s DC Nation #0, this issue will be priced at 25 cents and feature three new short stories that set the stage for some major developments across the DC Universe this summer. As the title suggests, all three stories will center around some major DC villains.
The book will also feature some of DC’s biggest creators, including writers Scott Snyder, James Tynion IV and Brian Michael Bendis and artists Alex Maleev, Jim Cheung and Francis Manapul. Greg Capullo will draw the main cover to The Year of the Villain #1, with variants provided by Maleev, Cheung and Stanley “Artgerm” Lau.
