DC Entertainment co-publisher Jim Lee explains in a statement about the new imprint. “Creating DC Black Label doubles down on our commitment to working with all-star talent and trusting them to tell epic, moving stories that only they can tell with the highest levels of creative freedom.”

The imprint will releasing in August of 2018 with the first issue of the three part series: Superman: Year One.

The imprint will have many new miniseries giving classic characters new stories and a fresher take.
