After first revealing the fact that it WILL be doing a new line of comic books in their continuity called the Absolute Universe, DC today reveals who the first three titles will be in this new universe, as well as the creative teams on three books, which will launch beginning in October with titles starring each member of DC’s iconic “Trinity” of Batman, Superman, and Wonder Woman.

DC also revealed more details about the DC All-In #1 special one-shot that will kick off both the Absolute Universe, as well as the next step in DC’s regular DC Universe group of titles (the comic books that will continue with their continuity from before this event started, so imagine the DC New 52 launching, but the established titles also continuing. Sort of like that).

DC has revealed both the solicitation for DC All-In #1, as well as all three covers for the issue: the main cover by Daniel Sampere, a variant cover by Wes Craig, and a second variant cover by Rafa Sandoval (there will be a third variant cover by John Giang, but it was not revealed just yet).

Here is the solicitation:

Following the events of Absolute Power, the heroes of the core DC Universe have fought against the deep divisions in the world around them to usher in a new era of unity.

And it’s just in time, too—because Darkseid has returned! Superman gathers every DC Super Hero on Earth to hold the line against a vastly different version of the Lord of Apokolips as they raise our cosmic defenses and prepare for war. And when the first blows land, the shock waves will ripple across DC’s core series, shaking the nature of their realities to their very foundation!

But a greater threat looms on the horizon in the Absolute Universe. Here, DC’s biggest icons come of age with fewer advantages while facing greater opposition than ever before and retaining the immutable heroism that continues to inspire and entertain fans. But can they really protect the light that shines inside them when the world in which they live is hurtling toward a terrible destiny?

That will come out on October 2nd, and the Absolute Universe begins the following week with Absolute Batman #1.

Who are the creative teams of the first three DC Absolute Universe titles?
