When it comes to the DC Multiverse, all things are possible. Including a scenario where the Justice League decides the best way to protect the world is to RULE IT! At least that’s the plan on Earth 3 as DC returns to the Crime Syndicate with the new creative team of writer Andy Schmidt and artist Kieran McKeown. Here is the press release telling us all about it.

Andy Schmidt
“Kieran and I were given a once a lifetime opportunity to build a world from the ground up,” said writer Andy Schmidt. “We’re establishing the Crime Syndicate’s origin story for the first time—how and why they came together. And we’re not taking it lightly. You’ll find that you’ve entered a fully realized world—this is the story of the Crime Syndicate, but it’s also the story of Earth-3 and it moves fast and pulls no punches.”
Also in this debut issue, witness the origin of Ultraman in our special backup story drawn by super-star artist Bryan Hitch!
CRIME SYNDICATE by Andy Schmidt and Kieran McKeown is a six-issue mini-series debuting on Tuesday, March 2, 202, with a cover by Jim Cheung and a variant cover by Skan.
