DC Comics' most recently announced titles will integrate WildStorm characters into the DC Universe.
A revamped Stormwatch title by Paul Cornell (Action Comics) and Miguel Sepulveda (The Thanos Imperative) will team the Martian Manhunter with The Authority's Apollo and Midnighter, and W.I.L.D.C.A.T.S.'s Grifter will appear in his own, self-titled comic by writer Nathan Edmondson (Who is Jake Ellis?) and artist CAFU (T.H.U.N.D.E.R. Agents).
The other titles announced were All-Star Western, which will couple Jonah Hex writers Justin Gray and Jimmy Palmiotti with artist Moritat (The Spirit), Ivan Brandon (Doc Savage) and Tom Derenick's (Justice Society of America) Sgt. Rock and the Men of War and a Deathstroke solo title from Kyle Higgins (Nightwing) and Joe Bennett (Justice League: Generation Lost).
The final four series in the set will be scribe Mike Costa (G.I. Joe: Cobra) and illustrator Ken Lashley's (Flash: The Fastest Man Alive) Blackhawks, DC Co-Publisher Dan DiDio and writer/artist Keith Giffen's OMAC, Blue Beetle by writer Tony Bedard (Green Lantern Corps) and artist Ig Guara (Flashpoint: Grodd of War) and a Suicide Squad title from Adam Glass (Flashpoint: Legion of Doom) and Marco Rudy (Superboy).
Other sets of titles in September's DC relaunch include Green Lantern, Batman, supernatural and young superhero comics.
WildStorm was a former DC imprint that told stories set in a separate universe from the mainstream comics. This is the first evidence of the integration of the two continuities.
52 titles are planned for the relaunch.
