Next week sees the release of DC Comics' solicitations for September 2017. But, as ever, they have been sneaking out peeks of what's coming up. And we've been collecting them from our PR inboxes ahead of next week's full listings. This should give you an idea of some of their important launch titles for the month.

The launch of Dark Matter titles Silencer and Sideways, Mr Oz coming to Action Comics and Detective Comics and the Dark Multiverse invading the DC Universe and dressing up as Batman… with a little help from Comic Book and (UPDATE) CBR.
