As part of June's mini-relaunch from DC Comics, we are getting a new ongoing Midnighter series by Steve Orlando and ACO. After his appearance in Grayson, it could only be a matter of time…

Midnighter was created by Warren Ellis and Bryan Hitch in 1998 for the comic book Stormwatch. Partnered with Apollo, they were a gay couple analogue for Batman and Superman and made front pages of international newspapers.
