By now if it’s anywhere in your sphere of interest you’ve probably heard of Batman/Fortnite Zero Point, and you may also have heard that it is already sold out pretty much everywhere. Unfortunately, we had to order the first three issues before we had any idea how big it was going to be, and so we’re basically presold out of those three issues, and the second printing of the first issue, even though they haven’t even been released yet.

However… the good news is, new printings are on the way and we are bumping up to meet demand! The third printing of #1 and second printings of #2 and #3 on Tuesday, June 1st. We have been able to increase orders so that we expect to have plenty of #4 and #5 on their release dates of June 1st and June 15th, respectively.

The other bad news is that we had such a response to these second printings that when they come in, they also may go pretty quickly. We’ve stopped taking orders right now, because if everyone who has signed up for the second printings comes in for them, we will not have any for the shelf. We’re waiting to see if more new printings are solicited, but in any case, there will be a hardcover collecting all six issues (and the game codes) toward the middle of the summer. We’ll keep everyone informed here and on Facebook.

Thanks, and we apologize for the inconvenience and the extra wait!

DC is doing a two-month event in 2021 that will replace DC titles in January and February with a combination of monthly and bi-weekly oversize anthologies, as well as a series of miniseries and one shots. Since it is all material featuring new takes on the characters, we will not be automatically pulling this material for existing subs. So if you get Batman, for example, we won’t default pull Future State: The Next Batman for you.

More information on the specific titles will be available in DC’s online preview DC Connect next month, but in the meantime, if you’re interested in the Future State titles, do us a favor and drop us an email to let us know which ones you’d like to subscribe to (if you have a subscription with the store) or want to special order and have us hold for you if you don’t have a standing subscription. This will help us gauge orders and make sure we have enough for you to try out! We’ll be putting final orders in early December, so make sure you get your requests in by then!

We can sign you up for individual titles, All Batman Family, All Superman Family, and/or All Justice League Family. Please note that if you sign up for All, it has to be literally All, it can’t be “All except Future State: Nightwing” or anything like that. If you don’t want all the books in a group, please just sign up individually for the titles. Drop us an email at roguesgallerytx@gmail.com to add any of them to your subscription!

But the basics are this:

Batman Family
In this future, Gotham City is controlled by the Magistrate. This villainous regime has taken control of the city, now under constant surveillance. All masked vigilantes have been outlawed and Batman has been killed. But led by an all-new Batman, a new assembly of Gotham’s guardians rise to give hope to all of those who lost it!

Superman Family
Due to his involvement in an international crisis happening in the near future, Clark Kent has been rejected by Earth, causing him to focus his lifesaving efforts outside his adopted home. He travels to Warworld to rise through the ranks of gladiatorial combat in order to defeat Mongul with the help of some unlikely heroes. Back in Metropolis, Clark’s son Jon has taken on the mantle of Superman. After seeing the horrors that befell Gotham, he bottles Metropolis in order to keep it safe, putting him at odds with Supergirl. Connecting the two oversized Future State: Superman titles, Shilo Norman, the man known as Mister Miracle, finds himself caught between the city he grew up in and the battle-torn planet that could be his downfall. Meanwhile in the Amazon rainforest, Yara Flor is chosen to be the new Wonder Woman. Years later, the new Superman and Wonder Woman join forces to save their cities in a new superhero team-up the likes of which the world has never seen.

Justice League Family
A thread of great change runs through the Justice League heroes: a new League is built upon secret identities (even from each other), but an old and evolved enemy will use these secrets to try and overthrow the world. For the supernatural heroes of Justice League Dark, the very fabric of reality has shifted, and heroes are being hunted. For Flash, Shazam, and the Teen Titans, it all begins when the four Riders of the Apocalypse unleash hell in a battle at Titans Academy, Barry Allen is cut off from the Speed Force, a Famine-controlled Wally West may be beyond saving, and Billy Batson makes a deal with the devil that will change Shazam forever. Off-world, John Stewart and the remaining Green Lanterns are stranded in the shadow of a dead power battery; Jackson Hyde and Andy Curry are separated across the galaxy; and Amanda Waller executes her ultimate plan with a new but terrifyingly familiar Suicide Squad on Earth-3. At the end of time, Swamp Thing reveals its true intention, ruling supreme until a remnant of humanity launches a rebellion, and Black Adam looks to the past as the only way to save the future of the Multiverse.
