All of DC’s July 2022 comics and covers revealed

DC’s July 2022 solicitations are full of the summer month’s traditional emphasis on hotdogs, baseball, and fireworks … just without the hotdogs and baseball.
But look up, it’s bringing the fireworks.
So what’s happening in July?
Both core Batman titles – Detective Comics and Batman – get brand new creative teams and brand new storylines. But rest assured, both star Bruce Wayne.
He’s dead elsewhere.
What else? Dark Crisis continues, of course, and not only is the Aquamen ongoing series joining the … well, the wake, but the event gets a new special with the mouthful of a title Dark Crisis: Worlds Without a Justice League – Superman #1.
DC vs. Vampires expands with a new monochromatic (that’s fancy talk for black and white) companion six-issue series All-Out War teaming Constantine, Booster Gold, Deathstroke, Mary Marvel, Bane, Deadman, Azrael, and Blade against the Nightwing led vampires (okay, the Blade part isn’t true).
DC gets Dwayne Johnson’s face on a cover as soon as they can with Black Adam: The Justice Society Files #1, the first of a series of one-shots featuring the members of the Justice Society that will co-star in The Rock’s Black Adam, beginning with Hawkman.
And that’s just a taste of the month’s new offerings. 
So check out all of DC’s July 2022 solicitations and covers and you can also check out the DC April 2022 solicitations, the DC May 2022 solicitations, and the DC June 2022 solicitations and/or scroll through all of DC and Marvel’s most recent solicitations (including Marvel’s May edition) on our solicitations tab.

Superstar writer Chip Zdarsky joins legendary artist Jorge Jimenez to define a new era in Batman!
Bruce Wayne is at a turning point, haunted by dreams of a dark future, while Gotham City billionaires are being gruesomely murdered. With the discovery of an archenemy’s involvement and a tragedy unfolding, the Dark Knight’s nightmares are just beginning.
“Failsafe” starts here.
And in the backup, there’s chaos in Gotham as the underworld fights over one of its crown jewels…and Selina Kyle is caught in the middle. Can she stop the bloodshed and maybe even make a little money in the process?

Catwoman, The Many Deaths of Laila Starr), and artist extraordinaire Rafael Albuquerque (American Vampire, Superman/Batman)! Together, they’ll be turning Gotham into a tragic yet beautiful gothic opera for our eyes and ears to feast on.
Something is terribly wrong with Batman. No matter the tests Bruce takes, nor the numbers he counts, the greatest detective in the world can’t pin down the source of this creeping dread—of his own inner demons and a looming mortality. Meanwhile, real demons roam the shadows as an ancient melody haunts the Gotham night. Here now the curtains rise and as the eerie tune streams in…who is human, who is demon, who is to tell? As Batman investigates the songs and the demons of Gotham, he is forced to confront the oldest question…whether there has been a demon within him all along…and if so, what does it want?…and why hasn’t it taken over yet?

Batman: White Knight, The Joker is behind bars, the Bat-Family has integrated Batman’s mobile arsenal into the GTO, and Harley Quinn has moved on with her life. But unbeknownst to them, the Clown Prince of Crime still has an ace up his sleeve: he knows a dark secret about the Wayne family that threatens to change their legacy! To help even the playing field, The Joker recruits his own avenging angel, Azrael, to carry out this final act of revenge. Will Gotham City burn under the sword of Azrael, and will the Wayne name forever be tainted? This deluxe edition of the acclaimed story collects the entire eight-issue series as well as the Batman: White Knight Presents Von Freeze one-shot written by Murphy and illustrated by Batman: The Dark Knight Returns inker Klaus Janson, and features a brand-new cover by Murphy.
