DC Comics announced today that Terry McGinnis will be back in June for a six issue mini-series!
That part of the story is good news for fans of the character.
What might not be so good news is Adam Beechen whose run on Robin made us all wonder if he even knew who Tim Drake was before he started writing. I will give him the benefit of the doubt on this one, though.
Here’s Alex Segura from DC:
Starting in June, BATMAN BEYOND — a six-issue mini-series from writer Adam Beechen (who’s no stranger to animated characters, having worked on The Batman series a few years back) and artist Ryan Benjamin — will pit the future Dark Knight against his own past, as a dangerous force has begun to target Bruce Wayne’s old foes. Can Wayne’s past put Terry’s future in danger?
Not sure, gang. Let’s check in with Adam Beechen himself. Take it away, Adam:
“The dark future of the legendary animated series comes to the DCU in a six-issue miniseries, as Terry McGinniss, Bruce Wayne’s young successor as Batman, faces his deadliest foe yet — a mystery murderer from the Dark Knight’s past! Old faces return, new allies and enemies step into the light, and the partnership between Terry and Bruce — not to mention Terry and Bruce themselves — might not survive!”
Above, we have the cover to issue 1 by Dustin Nguyen.
If nothing else, lets hope this does well enough so that we can see more stories featuring Terry McGinnis. And if they need more stories, I just happen to have a pitch…
