DC's Round Robin tournament returns with Justice League [Redacted], Superboy, the Questions, and more competing for a new series
With March Madness tournaments in full effect in the NCAAs, DC is bringing back its own version of Bracketology - a second annual Round Robin fan-voted tournament pitting 16 new series concepts in a winner-take-all contest to score a six-issue digital-first series that will debut in September on the DC Universe Infinite digital service and then in October in comic book stores and on comiXology.
Voting for Round One begins immediately and runs through April 3, with eight match-ups where voters only get to see the series title, title card, and logline, so fans can only vote in Round One based on "character and concept—and nothing else!" according to DC.
Here's the full bracket:
Winners that advance to the Elite Eight will then get their creative team, a more detailed pitch, and cover art revealed when Round Two begins on April 5 and runs through April 10.
More images and info are revealed through all four rounds.
Last year, DC says over a million fans voted and selected Robins by writer Tim Seeley and artist Baldemar Rivas as the winner, and its six-issue series is currently in progress and will conclude on Tuesday, April 19.
