The New Age of Heroes at DC won't be a dozen variations on the same things, and the line will experiment with tone and genre too.

The Curse of Brimstone will be written by Justin Jordan and have art from Philip Tan - it promises to be the big new horror title for DC.

Following a kid from, as Jordan describes, 'one of those forgotten towns' left behind by an industry that no longer has a place in the modern world, a mysterious stranger offers him the power to make things better and make the town great again. However, the blessing turns out to be more of a curse as he is turned into a burning creature.

Promising to explore the idea of taking a bargain and having to live with the consequences, Tan is supposedly going full dark for the artwork and make a truly horrifying new title. Sign us up!
