PRESS RELEASE
DC Comics today announced that Tom Taylor and Daniele Di Nicuolo will reunite for a fresh all-ages take on an old legend in a new DC comic book series launching on September 10, 2025, with C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table! New York Times number one bestseller Taylor (Dark Knights of Steel, Nightwing, Seven Secrets, The Deep TV series, Neverlanders) and Di Nicuolo (Nightwing, Seven Secrets, Mighty Morphin Power Rangers) will team up with colorist Rain Beredo and letterer Wes Abbott to bring a new kind of hero to DC in this original IP comic book series!
For centuries, an elite force known as the Camelot Corps has protected ancient secrets, waiting for the day when these myths are needed by the world. That day is today.
“I’m thrilled to be on this new project,” said Di Nicuolo. “It’s exciting to be a part of a project that represents a first for DC, and I can’t wait for readers of all ages to join this band of new, young heroes!”
“Like King Arthur asleep in a mountain, waiting for the day he will wake, CORT has been in my mind, and in my drafts folder, for a long time,” said Taylor. “These brave young heroes will finally rise, and I couldn’t imagine anything more perfect than to partner with Daniele Di Nicuolo and DC Comics to bring them to the world. DC has some of the greatest heroic teams on the planet, like the Justice League and the Titans. Now a new team of champions is coming to take on a tyrant: the Children of the Round Table.”
Young Fel, Connor, and their friends are stunned when they’re almost crushed by a giant stone falling from the sky. Their lives are changed forever when they find a sword stuck fast in the stone. Fel pulls the sword from the stone, her friends all receive their own Arthurian legend, and the game is on for a new generation of champions!
These children of destiny will soon face a great evil. But they won’t do so alone. For these friends have been chosen to wield ancient, magical weapons. Great weapons bonded to knights of legend. Weapons that… speak? Weapons that argue. The bickering weapons are fused with the spirits of the Knights of the Round Table, and the kids have been chosen to wield these weapons as a new dark age falls upon the world.
With the evil Mordred’s power growing, the fate of the world rests in the hands of these new Children of the Round Table!
C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #1 arrives in comic shops and digital platforms on September 10, 2025, and will be available to preorder and add to pull lists beginning Friday, June 20. C.O.R.T.: Children of the Round Table #1 will be 40 pages, followed by 32-page comics for the remainder of the run.
