Much like the wildly popular comic series that tied in with DC’s Injustice: Gods Among Us video game, the Infinite Crisis comic will detail the events leading up to the game. It will start with Batman solving a crime, as he often does, but when he encounters a Catwoman from another universe, he gets swept into a quest with her and a character named Harbinger to find artifacts from across the multiverse that will put a stop to the Infinite Crisis.The series will be written by Dan Abnett with art from various artists who excel at drawing in the style of each universe Batman will visit, including a post-nuclear war world, an arcane world, and a steampunk world. Abnett is most popular for his acclaimed run on Guardians of the Galaxy, so there’s little wonder why he was tapped to tell this adventure spanning DC’s multiverse.The Infinite Crisis comic will be released in weekly digital chapters, and then those will be collected and printed into monthly issues; again, just like Injustice. If it worked well the first time, why not?As for the action figures, there will be multiple waves released starting in August. You may have seen some Infinite Crisis statues already, but the action figures are also being released in order to provide some highly detailed collectibles at a lower price point. Prices haven’t been announced yet, but word is that they will be around $40. We saw them in person and they are larger than a standard action figure and have a great amount of detail that warrants the price.Here’s the release schedule for the first three waves of action figures:

October

Renaissance Batman

Mecha Wonder Woman

Atomic Poison Ivy
