It seems the weekly comic book is back in a big way at DC. The publisher kicked off Batman Eternal earlier this month, with Scott Snyder overseeing a team of writers as they explore a yearlong saga of Gotham's destruction. And The New 52: Future's End kicks off next month, where another team of writers explore the state of the DCU five years in the future.

And now it seems we can look forward to a third weekly comic later in 2014. DC is planning a weekly spinoff of its Earth 2 comic called Earth 2: World's End. Daniel H. Wilson will serve as a showrunner of sorts, similar to Snyder's role on Batman Eternal. The book will feature a rotating lineup of artists that includes regular Earth 2 writer Tom Taylor, Worlds' Finest writer Paul Levitz, Marguerite Bennett, and Mike Johnson. The rotating art team will include Eddy Barrows, Jorge Jimenez, Paulo Siqueira, and Tyler Kirkham.The series explores the fallout of an invasion by the hordes of Apokolips, as a small handful of heroes make their final stand. The promo image from artist Ben Oliver above offers some clue of what to expect from Earth 2: World's End, including the possible death of Huntress, the retirement of Green Lantern, and the destruction of the Moon. And it seems the events of World's End will factor heavily into DC's plans for the "Five Years Later" storyline this fall.The weekly series will kick off in October 2014. We don't know yet whether it's intended to replace or work alongside the current Earth 2 and Worlds' Finest comics, but we imagine DC will have more to say about the project this weekend at WonderCon. Stay tuned.
