These young Super Heroes discover unique abilities, develop powers, and combat an abundance of overwhelming, exciting and awkward moments to master the fundamentals of being a hero – one day at a time! The group includes:
Wonder Woman was raised on Themyscira, a paradise island overflowing with female leaders. This natural born leader has super strength, the power of flight and a magic lasso that forces anyone to tell the truth.

  • Batgirl is crazy smart – she was accepted to Super Hero High based on her brainpower alone (she wasn’t born with super powers). But this crime-fighting sleuth may be the most influential of all! Her unparalleled intellect, expert martial arts skills, photographic memory and legendary detective skills are a formula for an incredible Super Hero.
  • Supergirl is the most powerful teen on earth, but also incredibly clumsy. She has super strength, super hearing and super speed but will need to be sure she doesn’t trip over her own two feet en route to saving the world.
  • Harley Quinn is the resident class clown who lives for jokes and over-the-top pranks. Nonetheless, this quick-witted gymnast is sneaky and full of surprises.
  • Bumblebee has the ability to shrink, allowing her to sneak around without being spotted. She makes sure her team is never surprised by any villains or enemies up to no good.
  • Poison Ivy, got caught up in a botched lab experiment, and now has the ability to control and summon plants. She’s gradually adapting to her amazing new powers and blossoming into her new life.
  • Katana is an artist with an edge – this fearless martial arts fashionista is up for any crime-fighting test and is never without her sword.

Together, these seven fearless Super Heroes prove that we all have the power to make the world a better place – even while school is in session!

DC Superhero Girls Take WonderCon

This year we partnered up with several other little girl cosplayers to recreate the DC Super Hero Girls for our WonderCon cosplay. The girls all had a tremendous amount of fun, and even ran into Lisa Yee, the author of the first DC Super Hero Girls novel, and a group of adult cosplayers who also cosplayed as DC Super Hero Girls.

Also announced is a six-issue limited  series featuring Gotham’s baddest botanist, Poison Ivy. Poison Ivy: Cycle of Life and Death is written by Amy Chu with art by Clay Man. In the series, Dr. Pamela Isely joins the plant sciences department at Gotham Botanical Gardens. When a colleague is murdered, all signs point to  Poison Ivy as the culprit. Ivy has to solve the mystery and clear her name before things get a little batty…

From the DC press release:

Also announced at San Diego Comic-Con and revealed during a panel at last week’s New York Comic-Con was POISON IVY: CYCLE OF LIFE AND DEATH, written by Amy Chu with art by Clay Mann. In this six-issue miniseries, Dr. Pamela Isley joins the prestigious plant sciences department at Gotham Botanical Gardens. But when a fellow scientist is murdered and it looks like the work of Poison Ivy, what happens next?

For our Digital fans, January also brings a new Digital First series featuring the Amazon warrior princess herself, WONDER WOMAN! THE LEGEND OF WONDER WOMAN is a nine-issue digital series written and illustrated by Renae De Liz, with inker/colorist Ray Dillon. In the beginning there was only chaos. But Hippolyta, Queen of the Amazons, sees a better future – and eventually her daughter is destined to bring that new world to life. But before her ultimate destiny is revealed, Diana of Themyscira must learn the important lessons of an Amazonian childhood!
