This week DC returns to the Dark Ages for a second maxi-series in the Dark Knights of Steel world. Tom Taylor, Otto Schmidt and Arif Prianto are teaming up to continue the publishers swords & sorcery epic with a new story that teases a war which is coming from beneath the sea. Today we’re taking a closer look at Dark Knights of Steel II #1, hitting comic book stores on July 15, 2026.
An entire medieval world was forever changed when a spaceship crashlanded from a doomed planet. Monarchs died, kingdoms rose, long-buried treachery came to light…and a League was born. Now an ancient, violent war brews beneath the waves, one that promises untold destruction should it break the surface. If the League hopes to weather it and protect the lands of its realms and beyond, it must first root out the treasonous agents hiding in plain sight amidst its own ranks!
