DC to Unveil FEMALE FURIES in February  Image

The most DEADLY WOMEN in the DC Universe will finally get their time in the spotlight, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

The series will center around the group of warriors created by Jack Kirby for Mister Miracle series in the 70s. Trained by the sadistic Granny Goodness, the Furies are the elite soldiers of Apokolips, the home planet of intergalactic despot Darkseid - but despite their skill, they're rarely sent to the frontlines, which is the starting point for the new series.

"The fact is that the Furies are kept down by the circumstances of where they live and who is in power," series writer Cecil Castellucci told Polygon. "How do women in that kind of world have an awakening, and ultimately a reckoning, with their lot? And how do they come into their own true power and become a team to make a change for better or worse? What does it mean to have someone's back after years of stabbing people in the back?"
