At New York Comic Con in October, DC teased the next phase of its All In initiative, The Next Level. At that time, it was revealed that the new Batwoman series from writer Greg Rucka and artist Danny will be one of the first Next Level films. Now, DC has revealed details about the first three titles to debut in March under the Next Level banner, including Scotty Young and Jorge Corona’s Lobo and Tony Freaks and Carmine Di Giandomenico’s Deathstroke: The Terminator.
First to appear on March 4th are the robots Young and Corona. The recruitment text and cover information are as follows.
Hmm, hmmm, hmmm! The main man is back, baby! And his vehicle is a motorcycle that moves at the speed of sound. But only if that sound is a tearing guitar solo, then you better jump on it before he leaves you in the dust with all the scumbags he’s amassed for money and convenience!

It’s a gut-wrenching journey from DC KO to the ends of the universe, where Lobo scratches his name and number on the Source Wall with a cool knife. Don’t miss out on the mayhem, special guests, and delicious series of events! Don’t do it!
The new DC Next Level comic series “Robo” written by Scottie Young with art and main cover by Jorge Corona will launch on March 4, 2026. Issue 1 features orderable cardstock variations by Lee Bermejo, Kyuyon Homme, and Corona, priced at $3.99 USD (cardstock $4.99, foil $6.99). Juan Ferrerilla offers a 1:25 incentive edition, and Bermejo’s cover is also available as a foil edition that can be ordered alongside a blank sketch cover.
Lucca and Danny’s Batwoman continues next week on March 11th.

But since she was 10 years old, Kate Kane has lived in the shadow of prophecies and religious conspiracies aimed at the end of all things. How do you fight demons if they are real? And how do you win?

And Freese and Di Giandomenico’s Deathstroke: Terminator rounds out the lineup on March 18th.
Slade Wilson, a soldier turned superhuman assassin-for-hire, has made hundreds of enemies in his time, and one of them is now tearing his world apart piece by piece. The hit is Deathstroke, where he evolves into his purest form. The Terminator is vengeful and ready to kill anyone who stands in his way.

Deathstorm: The Terminator, a new comic series from DC Next Level written by Tony Fleecs with art and covers by Carmine Di Giandomenico, will be released on March 18, 2026. Issue 1 features an orderable cardstock version by Dan Panosian, KyuYong Eom, and Jorge Colon, priced at $3.99 USD (cardstock $4.99, foil $6.99). Tony Fleecs offers a 1:25 incentive edition, but the Panosian cover is also available as an open-order foil edition alongside a blank sketch cover.
In addition to information about the first three titles, DC also introduced other characters and creators involved in the Next Level lineup.
DC NEXT LEVEL is part of the second act of DC ALL IN, a new publishing initiative highlighting characters such as Batwoman, Deathstroke, The Demon, Firestorm, Lobo, Barbara Gordon, Zatanna, the Teen Titans, and more. The creative roster includes Jeff Lemire, Greg Rucka, Javier Rodríguez, Jamal Campbell, Skottie Young, Mariko Tamaki, James Harren, Kyle Higgins, Joshua Williamson, Daniele Di Nicuolo, Michael Walsh, Carmine Di Giandomenico, Rafael De Latorre, Jorge Colon, Tony Fleecs, Amancay Nahuelpan, Deniz Camp, DaNi and so on.
DC All In architects Joshua Williamson and Scott Snyder also provided further insight into Next Level’s goals.
“There’s a continuity set up in these books,” Williamson says. “The series is a stand-alone read and doesn’t have much of a connection to other books, but it exists alongside DC’s ongoing comic book series such as Superman, Batman, and Justice League Unlimited.”
“This series will launch in the same way as DC’s Absolute comic book series,” Snyder said. “The DC: NEXT LEVEL books are very new reader-friendly and will be rolled out over time. Similar to the Absolute series, this is an effort to welcome new readers looking for a place to jump into DC’s flagship comic series.”
“March, the first month of DC:NEXT LEVEL, will see the release of three new books in the series starring Lobo, Deathstroke and Batwoman. While staying true to the characters introduced in DC ALL IN and DC KO, the creative team will take them to new and badass stories that explore a variety of genres that any fan can dip into,” said Williamson.
“I can’t wait for everyone to see what’s going to happen,” Snyder said. “This is just the beginning.”
“This is just the second phase of what we have planned for DC ALL IN,” Williamson said. “There are so many stories yet to be told.”
The “army” of the story? I see what you did there, Josh. Snyder previously detailed DC Next Level in his newsletter, in which he also offered hints about the upcoming The Demon series.
Lobo #1, Batwoman #1, and Deathstroke: Terminator #1 are all scheduled to be released in stores and digitally in March 2026.
