Something big is coming from DC Comics next year. Over the past few months, there has been reports of an event in kicking off in April 2015, during the company's big move from New York to Burbank; there have also been whispers it's Crisis-related, with the 30th anniversary of the iconic Crisis on Infinite Earths being that month. According to Bleeding Cool, the event - first dubbed "The DC Band-Aid" but now apparently titled Blood Moon - sees characters from across DC Universes (including Pre-New 52 continuity) face off. Now, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio has thrown out a vague teaser on his Facebook page:
Spending a Sunday night working on the comics (the real never ending battle), and came across this. Definitely one of the highlights of my time at DC, but it gets me thinking, has it really been almost ten years since then, and maybe its time to do it one better.
The image refers to Infinite Crisis, released in 2005, but offers a variety of posibilites. Let's piece together what we've got so far. In the teaser image for the weekly series The New 52: Futures End, it stated that "When futures end, the blood moon shall rise!", hinting that Blood Moon comes after Futures End. DC's three weekly series (Earth 2: World's End kicking off next month) are set to come to an end (a hiatus for Batman Eternal) in March, which would confirm that idea. All Crisis-related events have, obviously, featured the word in its title, so could Blood Moon merely be a lead-in to this new Crisis? Nothing is confirmed; Blood Moon could well be the Crisis DiDio is talking about, or he may just be deliberately playing with us. Who knows? Anything is possible. What do you guys make of all this? Though we were expected to get answers at this year's SDCC (and didn't), hopefully some clarity is coming in the next few months.
