Ram V, Rafael Albuquerque, & Dave Stewart taking over DETECTIVE COMICS in July

DC Comics’s namesake title is getting a new creative team. The publisher has announced that writer Ram V, artist Rafael Albuquerque, and color artist Dave Stewart will take over the reins of Detective Comics starting in July. Kicking off in Detective Comics #1062, the team’s first four-issue story arc finds Batman embroiled in a music-themed mystery. Writer Si Spurrier will provide the ongoing backup stories for the monthly series, with the first story, illustrated by Dani, following Jim Gordon on his return to Gotham as a private investigator.

Here’s how DC describes Detective Comics #1062:

The story starts with “Gotham Nocturne” part 1 of 4: “Overture.” Something is terribly wrong with Batman. No matter the tests Bruce takes, nor the numbers he counts, the greatest detective in the world can’t pin down the source of this creeping dread—of his own inner demons and a looming mortality. He’s not alone in the grips of this terror, as it seems real demons are creeping through the shadows of Gotham City, answering the clarion call of a strange melody that’s haunting Gotham…and seems to be turning its denizens into something else.

The curtains are rising on a new, terrifying mystery as Batman tries to figure out what’s happening to both the city he protects and his own mind in this lush, operatic mystery.
