BEING a superhero isn’t just about rescuing cats from trees and putting bad guys in jail, and a new series from DC Entertainment looks to explore the emotional cost of the job.

Following an appearance on NBC’s “Late Night With Seth Meyers” by writer Tom King, the publisher has announced King’s next project: the seven-issue “Heroes in Crisis,” illustrated by his “Batman” collaborator Clay Mann, with colors by Tomeu Morey and letters from Clayton Cowles. The series will delve into the Sanctuary concept King first mentioned in January — a trauma center for superheroes, founded by Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman.

“Heroes in Crisis,” which will debut Sept. 26, will trace what happens when Sanctuary fails to adequately provide for its patients and what happens in the aftermath. (SD-Agencies)
