About this Collection

This volume collects the nine one-shot issues from DC's 1997 Tangent Comics event, a line of standalone stories set in an alternate universe where familiar DC archetypes are reimagined with new identities and origins. The collection includes tales of characters like the Nightwing, the Joker's Wild, and the Atom, each crafted by a rotating team of creators including Dan Jurgens, Karl Kesel, and others, offering a self-contained glimpse into a radically different DC landscape.
