Teen Titans Cartoon’s Red X Makes His DC Comics Debut in Early 2021

Red X, Robin’s former vigilante identity from Cartoon Network’s Teen Titans animated series will make his DC Comics debut in DC Future State.

Red X, an original character created for Cartoon Network’s Teen Titans animated series, will make his DC Comics debut during DC Future State, a two-month, line-wide event beginning in January 2021. February will feature a combination of monthly and twice-monthly oversize anthologies, as well as a monthly schedule of miniseries and one-shots starring current and future DC heroes.

Robin took on the mantle of Red X in the first season of Teen Titans as he worked undercover. The character would show up later in Season 3 with someone new donning the costume. At this time it is unclear which DC Future State comics Red X will be featured in.

“The DC Universe has always been fertile ground for new and refreshing takes on our characters, and DC Future State definitely contributes to this legacy,” DC Executive Editor Marie Javins said in a statement. “When the event begins in January, some savvy readers will not only pick up on some of the breadcrumbs that have already been tossed out in our current titles, but they will also find new hints and clues of what’s to come in 2021.”

The creative lineup for DC Future State includes Mariko Tamaki, Brian Michael Bendis, Gene Luen Yang, Joëlle Jones, Joshua Williamson, Nicola Scott, Cully Hamner and John Timms, along with new voices such as award-winning screenwriter John Ridley (12 Years A Slave), Brandon Vietti (Young Justice), Meghan Fitzmartin (Supernatural, DC Super Hero Girls), Brandon Easton (Thundercats, Transformers: War for Cybertron), Alitha Martinez (REPRESENT! It’s A Bird!), L.L. McKinney (Nubia: Real One), Paula Sevenbergen (Stargirl) and Siya Oum (Lola XOXO), among others.
