- Elseworld
- “DC Vampires” (working title)

Spears was joined at the event by DC Publisher and Chief Creative Officer Jim Lee, new SVP and General Manager Daniel Cherry III, and Editor-In-Chief Marie Javins. Lee eased retailer’s concerns by reaffirming “…DC’s commitment to publishing comic books and the direct market, echoing comments made in an August 2020 interview with the Hollywood Reporter, referencing 2020 sales successes such as Batman: Three Jokers, DCeased: Dead Planet, Batman: The Joker War, and Dark Nights: Death Metal. “
Lee also noted that more than $1.1 million dollars was raised last year for the Book Industry Charitable Foundation (BINC) fund to help struggling comic book stores.
