Releasing - May 2, 2023

This comic takes us on a voyage inside the mind of Harleen Quinzel. Harleen has many personalities, and some are crazier than others. Her story starts when she decides to participate in a clinical research trial with her girlfriend, Pamela. And while she's excited to get her problems fixed, what happens is the opposite. Harleen ends up getting big gaps in her memory and short recollections of a guy named Jack, whom she has never met.

In moments, she discovers she's sharing headspace with a girl named Harley, an up-to-no-good, maybe-we-oughtta-save-the-bunnies kind of girl, and while she's fun to live with, she takes Harleen on a lot more adventures than one would guess.


3) Static: Up All Night

This comic revolves around the adventures of a single irksome night. Virgil Hawkins is extremely sad about his recent breakup. To wash away his worries, his friend Richie suggests he come to a music festival.

Virgil takes pride in his decision to finally get out of the house at first, but what happens next makes our hero regret leaving his couch. The night becomes a series of mishaps, including unexpected encounters with menacing supervillains and weird strangers. On top of all of that, he also bumps into the girl who broke his heart.


DC's Young Adult line continues to grow, with comics taking us through intriguing coming-of-age journeys. Each focuses on a different issue to portray the struggles of the younger demographic.
