Brave and the Bold Vol. 4: Without Sin (2027 Edition)

Unexpected hero team-ups lead to adventure across the DC Universe!

No two heroes see the world the same way—but when danger strikes, they must find a way to work together.

This volume of The Brave and the Bold continues the celebrated team-up series that pairs unexpected combinations of DC heroes in standalone adventures spanning the superhero, supernatural, and cosmic corners of the DC Universe.

First, Supergirl and Raven join forces to protect San Francisco from a powerful new threat, combining Kryptonian strength and mystical power in a battle that tests both heroes. Then Green Lantern finds himself teamed with the mysterious Phantom Stranger on a journey to a distant world where questions of justice, responsibility, and survival take center stage.

Written by the legendary Marv Wolfman and Spider-Man Noir co-creator David Hine, these stories showcase the variety, imagination, and wide-ranging scope that made The Brave and the Bold a unique celebration of the DC Universe.
