DC Comics Is Elevating New Characters Through Its “All In” Initiative
Fan-Favorite Heroes Are Finally Getting the Spotlight
I do n’t have it away where this plot train of thought is going , but the possibilities are endless , and it make me both scheme and rouse about future issues of thisBlack Lightningseries . More than anything , it earn meexcited about the prospect of DC ’s All In era .

While Dawn of DC was by far not a failure , there are a lot of heroes from those years - like Monkey Prince , Xanthe Zhou , and City Boy - who more or less vanish after their solo serial ended .
