The DC Universe has its roots all the way back in 1938, when Superman first debuted in Action Comics #1. Now, nearly 90 years later, writer Mark Waid is teaming up with several of DC's biggest artists to tell the New History of the DC Universe, a comprehensive timeline of the major events and biggest heroes of the oldest superhero continuity.
Waid describes New History of the DC Universe as his "dream project," with artists Jerry Ordway and Todd Nauck joining him on the first issue of the four-issue limited series. Other artists yet to be announced will draw each issue.
