In the 1960s teenagers hung at clubhouses. Today, they hang out on Discord. That’s why the social platform will be the unofficial headquarters for the newest group of Teen Titans. The new title, which is written by Kyle Higgins and penciled by Daniele Di Nicuolo, will use social media as a backdrop and launching point.
“Basically, there’s a Discord server in the DCU for all the DC Youth that Fairplay started,” Teen Titans writer Kyle Higgins says during a DC Next Level spotlight panel at San Diego Comic Con 2026. “We call it a Relay server, and essentially, they named it Teen Titans. But they are named out of the spirit of what the Teen Titans represented over the decades. The idea of originally building something that was by kids, for kids, to look out for each other, because when you’re trying to do something like this alone, it’s easy to fall through the cracks and to become lost.”
“This server starts, and it starts to become a thing, and so all the kids that are in it, a few of them start meeting up in real life. And then that brings them in contact with Red Hood. And the case that Red Hood is working and the way it connects back to the kids, and their growing community is at the heart of the book,” Higgins continues.
It’s an interesting way to modernize the Teen Titans, since the original Silver Age group met in a clubhouse, and Discord servers are the digital clubhouses of 2026.
Vixen also got some love at the panel. Did you know that Vixen has been around since 1981, and she’s never had her own ongoing series? That will change on November 24, when Vixen #1 hits the stands. The series, which is written by Stephanie Williams and penciled by Khary Randolph, will answer some big questions about Mari McCabe. For example, her fashion empire has never been named, despite being referenced in the comics for decades. Williams decided to name it McCabe International.
“I remember sharing on Threads that I had a Vixen pitch that was burning a hole in my drafts,” Stephanie Williams says. “You’re going to see Vixen the detective, we’re going to bring in some family members, and we’re going to get into some African gods.”
Michael Walsh will be writing and illustrating Jonah Hex and the Shadow of Death. The series, which hits stores on October 7, will blend the western genre with horror. “We’re going to take Jonah Hex and introduce him to a whole new mythology, and it’s going to be a very horror-leaning book with a lot of sensibilities of what we love about Westerns – isolation,” Walsh teases.
“[Hex] gets pulled into a world of supernatural entities and has to decide whether he wants to take his guns back out,” Walsh continues. Let’s be real; it’s Jonah Hex, so the guns will be coming out, and it will be glorious.
