By Maryann Yin 

Midnighter & Apollo Comic (GalleyCat)DC Entertainment announced plans to publish a six-part miniseries called Midnighter and Apollo. These characters were first introduced in the Midnighter comic series.

This spinoff project features stories written by Steve Orlando, interior illustrations by Fernando Blanco, coloring by Romulo Fajardo Jr., and cover art by ACO. The first issue will be published on Oct. 5.

Orlando gave this statement in the press release: “Midnighter and Apollo have spent time apart—figuring out who they were when defined on their own instead of by their relationship. They have a firmer idea of who they are and they’ve become stronger and more confident together. Midnighter and Apollo are back to remind the world that it truly is a bad time to be bastards. This is the World’s Finest Couple—kicking back and making each other better than they are on their own.”
