DC’S INFINITE FRONTIER #0 BRINGS TOGETHER THE BEST CREATIVE TALENT IN COMICS TO INTRODUCE THE NEXT PHASE OF THE DC UNIVERSE!

64-Page One-Shot Presents Infinite Possibilities for the World’s Greatest Super Heroes on March 2, 2021

The DC Universe enters its next phase this March with the release of Infinite Frontier #0, a 64-page one-shot from the most creative and innovative storytellers in comics that sets the table for new tales, talent, and characters for 2021 and beyond.
As Dark Nights: Death Metal exposes our heroes to the Multiverse’s darkest threats and DC Future State provides a glimpse into possible futures of the DC Universe, this blockbuster one-shot propels our heroes into the current day and a world full of endless possibilities.

“Infinite Frontier #0 really feels like the beginning of a new era of DC Comics, a time when anything is possible,” said writer Joshua Williamson. “We’re taking the aftermath of Dark Nights: Death Metal and combining it with the best things we love as storytellers about the DC Universe, resulting in bold, fun, and exciting new directions. There are a lot of teases to new story lines, surprises, and mysteries for the year set up in Infinite Frontier #0 that you won’t want to miss.”

Featuring a dynamic primary cover by Dan Jurgens and Mikel Janín and an equally breathtaking card stock variant cover by John Timms, these stories will be delivered by some of the best talent in comics, including (among others):
* Joshua Williamson, Scott Snyder, and James Tynion IV with John Timms
* Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez
* Becky Cloonan and Michael W. Conrad with Alitha Martinez
* Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck
* Joshua Williamson and Alex Maleev
* James Tynion IV and Jorge Jimenez
* Phillip Kennedy Johnson and Jamal Igle

Infinite Frontier #0 will also serve as the catalyst for new can’t-miss series and story lines continuing throughout 2021:
* An unthinkable, unexpected attack by the Joker makes him the target of a worldwide dragnet with ex-cop Jim Gordon in hot pursuit in the ongoing series The Joker by James Tynion IV and Guillem March
* Spinning out of her breakout appearances in Future State: Wonder Woman and Future State: Superman/Wonder Woman, a young Yara Flor begins the search for her destiny and connection to the Amazons
* It’s orientation day at Titans Tower as Tim Sheridan and Rafa Sandoval introduce a new group of teen heroes (including the future Red X) to the original New Teen Titans, setting the table for the duo’s Teen Titans Academy series in March
* The adventures of the Justice League continue (beginning with Justice League #59), now written by Brian Michael Bendis with David Marquez, with new JL members, including Black Adam, Hippolyta, and Naomi
* Wonder Woman ventures into the "godsphere," creating an exciting new storyline by Becky Cloonan, Michael W. Conrad and Travis Moore, continuing in March's Wonder Woman #770
* Award-winning writer Geoff Johns and Todd Nauck tell an all-new Stargirl story

For fans wanting a gateway into the next great era of storytelling, this 64-page oversize one-shot is a guaranteed must-have for March pull lists. Priced at $5.99 for the main cover version and $6.99 for the card stock variant, this book will be available at all comic book stores and participating digital retailers on Tuesday, March 2, 2021.

If you're referring to the Stargirl comic book story, that's just a one-shot.

Well, 2021 - 2016 = 5, and month-wise it's a difference between early March 2021 and late May 2016.
