The imprint was created in 1997 and features an alternate universe where the characters and concepts of the [[DC Universe]] are reimagined with entirely new origins, powers, and identities. The Tangent Universe is distinct from the main DC Universe and offers a fresh take on familiar characters.<br />
<br />
==History==<br />
The Tangent Comics imprint was the brainchild of writer and artist [[Dan Jurgens]]. The concept was to create a new universe where the names of well-known DC characters were used, but their stories, powers, and appearances were completely different. This allowed for creative freedom and new storytelling opportunities.<br />
<br />
==Key Characters==<br />
* '''[[Superman (Tangent Comics)|Superman]]''': In the Tangent Universe, Superman is a being of pure energy who can manipulate electromagnetic fields.<br />
* '''[[Batman (Tangent Comics)|Batman]]''': This version of Batman is a covert government operative with no superpowers.<br />
* '''[[Wonder Woman (Tangent Comics)|Wonder Woman]]''': Wonder Woman in the Tangent Universe is a mystical warrior with a connection to the Greek gods.<br />
* '''[[The Flash (Tangent Comics)|The Flash]]''': The Flash is a teenage girl with the ability to manipulate light.<br />
* '''[[Green Lantern (Tangent Comics)|Green Lantern]]''': This Green Lantern is a mystical figure who can communicate with the dead.<br />
<br />
==Publications==<br />
The Tangent Comics line was initially released in two waves. The first wave was published in 1997, and the second wave followed in 1998. Each wave consisted of several one-shot issues, each focusing on a different character or team.<br />
<br />
==Impact and Legacy==<br />
Tangent Comics was well-received for its innovative approach and unique storytelling. Although it was a limited series, the Tangent Universe has been revisited in various DC Comics events and storylines. The imprint demonstrated the potential for alternate universe storytelling within the larger DC Comics framework.<br />
