DC’s solicits for November 2024 are proving to be a treasure trove of new series. Another character long overdue for a solo outing will be making their debut this month, Renee Montoya aka The Question.
Writer Alex Segura and artist Cian Tormey will be exploring Montoya’s place in the DCU in the wake of Absolute Power with new ongoing series The Question: All Along the Watchtower which will make its debut on November 20, 2024.
Segura tells Polygon influences on the new series include “Sherlock Holmes or Agatha Christie: plot-driven novels that feature colorful characters and situations, often outside of the expected or mundane. But I’d also have to tip my hat to more modern PI novels, like the work of Walter Mosley, Laura Lippman, and George Pelecanos — stories about flawed protagonists in over their heads, trying to do the right thing.”
“The Watchtower is as much a character in this as Renee herself, but, it’s a noir story when all is said and done — so you’ll have to trust me when I say, there’s a lot of thought put into all those backgrounds you won’t be able to see under all the blood and shadows!”
Cover art on All Along the Watchtower #1 comes from series artist Cian Tormey with variant designs by Jorge Fornés, Lucio Parrillo and Danny Earls. Here’s your first look at the cover artwork:

Who watches the Watchtower? In the wake of Absolute Power, the Justice League Unlimited has created a haven for all heroes—but can they keep it secure? Enter Renee Montoya, reeling from an abrupt end to her time in Gotham and looking for a place to hang her hat. But the Trinity didn’t bring her up to the Watchtower to relax—there’s a dark threat bubbling underneath the surface, and only the Question and her ad hoc support team stand a chance of figuring out who the problem is before it’s too late.
