By the end of filming Age of Ultron, Joss Whedon made it clear that he was more than ready to move onto something else — something that a big studio wouldn’t meddle with. During comic publisher Dark Horse’s Comic-Con panel this afternoon, Whedon announced that his next project is something much smaller: a new comic called Twist, which will be coming out next year. “It deals with the most important moral question facing us, which is: Why isn’t there a Victorian female Batman?” That’s all we know so far, but it sounds amazing. Six issues of the series will be out next year. Cover art was shown during the panel, and it should end up online soon.
