According to The Hollywood Reporter, the online comic book will be out for 13 weeks every Monday beginning January.

Illustrations to the digital comic book will be executed by a host of well-known artists in the industry like Jonboy Meyers, Emma Vieceli, Emanuela Lupacchino and “Batgirl” artist Bengal. The latter will be “penciling, inking, and coloring the first three chapters,” according to IGN.
