The Movement from writer Gail Simone and artist Freddie Williams II and The Green Team from Art Baltazar, Franco and Ig Guara will be replacing I,Vampire and DC Universe Presents in May. There will be six new titles coming in June with one of those spots most likely belonging to Scott Snyder and Jim Lee's Man of Steel. The creative teams for The Green and The Movement are being purposely vague and abstract in the interview with Huffington Post so we have virtually zero details about the new comic books. However, interestingly enough, for a topic that seems tailor-made for a miniseries set outside of the The New 52, it appears both titles are firmly set within the DCU proper. Will be interesting to see who the leads are and whether the book will be told from the viewpoint of superheroes or civilian bystanders. More details as we have them.

+We are faceless. We are limitless. We see all. And we do not forgive.
+Who defends the powerless against the GREEDY and the CORRUPT? Who protects the homeless and poverty-stricken from those who would PREY upon them in the DARK OF NIGHT?
+When those who are sworn to protect us abuse their power, when toxic government calls down super-human lackeys to force order upon the populace…finally, there is a force, a citizen’s army, to push order BACK.
+Let those who abuse the system know this as well: We have our OWN super humans now. They are not afraid of your badges or Leagues. And they will not be SILENCED.
+We are your neighbors. We are your co-workers. And we are your children.
