Six years ago on the cusp of being one of DC's main creators, artist/writer Stjepan Šejić left it all behind to focus on his creator-owned work such as Sunstone, Death Vigil, and the upcoming Achilles Shieldmaidens. But for the past two years Šejić has tested the waters with covers, and has signed on for a series of covers for the new Batwoman series. And now, he's working on an unnanounced new project for DC.

"me starting a new dc comic: damn, been a while since i did stuff outside of my own universes," Šejić writes on the social media site formerly known as Twitter. "2 pages of layouts in: nevermind. WE'RE BACK! XD"

Šejić, who drew the fondly remembered DC Black Label limited series Harleen in 2019, and was tapped to launch a new Justice League series called Justice League Odyssey that same year, is returning to DC after a very public exit in 2020. At one time, Šejić was publicly talking about sequels to his series Harleen, but those never materialized.

Šejić publicly quit DC Comics and "the standard comic industry" in June 2020 on Twitter, to devote his time to his creator-owned series - and also following some of his work on Justice League Odyssey being revised, leading to at least a full issue of the series never seeing print in what Popverse has been told were issues with the approved script.

"Tomorrow I complete my last pages in the standard comic industry, and then moving my ass into the glorious world of webcomics," Šejić tweeted. "I'll still publish my stuff in print once done through Top Cow of course, but I think I'll spend the last few creative decades of my life having fun :)"

Šejić has since deleted that tweet, but was saved through various reporting including my own back then.

For this "new DC comic" Stjepan Šejić is working on, there's no public information on what it is... but there's several upcoming series teased by DC without creative teams that could benefit from someone like him involved.
