And the first chapter is FREE! Writer, Shea Fontana, is set to write the digital first comic series titled: DC Super Hero Girls: Past Times at Super Hero High.

While the kids won't get the reference, it's sure to make their parents chuckle a bit. I think it's safe to say a certain element of the referenced movie will NOT be present in the comic.

Shea Fontana has already written DC's first original graphic novel DC Super Hero Girls: Finals Crisis, which also made the New York Times Bestseller list. The second graphic novel, sub-titled HITS AND MYTHS, will be available on November 1st of this year. A third graphic novel sub-titled WONDER WOMAN: SUMMER OLYMPUS is set to be released summer of 2017.

Here is Shea Fontana talking about the opportunity:

“I’m thrilled to work on this Digital First series because it focuses on two of my favorite DC Super Hero Girls characters, Harley and Batgirl,” said Fontana. “They’re an odd couple, but they make a fun dynamic duo as they team up to try and save Super Hero High. Through the story, we’ll explore what makes the Super Heroes tick and test the boundaries of their friendship. I’m also really excited to explore a new side of Bumblebee that hasn’t been seen before and can’t wait for fans to see so much of her heroic heart.”

There are many artists signed to the series, with Agnes Garbowska and Yancey Labat among them.

Normally with 'digital first' series, they go to print after several issues have been released. In this case they are waiting to collect it in a graphic novel sometime in 2017. While I think it may be a mistake to go 'digital first', in today's world where almost every child comes equipped with their own tablet, I could be proven wrong.

According to the DC Comics Blog, PAST TIMES AT SUPER HERO HIGH "will follow iconic DC characters Wonder Woman, Supergirl, Batgirl, Harley, Katana, Bumblebee and Ivy as they embark on a time traveling mission that goes haywire, leading the teen superheroes on a wild goose chase through time in hopes to restore order at present-day Super Hero High."

A new digital chapter will be available every other Wednesday, however as a special promotion you can download the first chapter for FREE by visiting readcentertainment.com/redeem and using their promotion code: PASTTIMES.

Feel free to visit the DC Comics Blog for more information and official descriptions of the graphic novels and digital first series.
