Understandably, there’s been great concern over the future of DC Comics publishing not only due to the effect COVID has had on the comics industry but the major layoffs last August. Despite the trimming of DC Comics titles, today unveiled panels dedicated to the upcoming Future State publishing event this weekend for CCXP Worlds digital event.
After the industry shaking news earlier today that Warner Bros. will be releasing their entire 2021 slate simultaneously in theaters and HBO Max, DC Comics films are likely to be the topic of conversation on social media all weekend.
Check out the panel descriptions below:
Over the next three days, there will be hundreds of panels taking place at CCXP Worlds: A Journey of Hope! If you’re interested, you can find complete listings on their website. But since you’re here at dccomics.com, there’s a pretty good chance you’re a DC fan and wondering which of those panels are being presented by DC and our friends at Warner Bros. and WarnerMedia!
DC’s publishing presence at Brazil’s CCXP Worlds is packed with panels featuring the World’s Greatest Super Heroes, and there’s nothing more important to DC than our fans! Featuring Brazilian artists Gustavo Duarte, Rafael Albuquerque and Gabriel Picolo, as well as panels with dozens of DC’s creative teams all focused on delivering a first look into DC’s Future State comics for CCXP’s global fans, DC is committed to immersive fan experiences that bring the DC Multiverse to life.
