After Tom King wraps up his run on Batman with issue #85 and the Batman/Catwoman limited series, the writer will move on to Strange Adventures, a series starring space adventurer Adam Strange, which will be illustrated by Mitch Gerads and Evan "Doc" Shaner.

Ever since its announcement, the series was billed as an Adam Strange story. However, King has now revealed the series actually also stars a surprise mystery character.

"It's about Adam Strange and another character and the other character hasn't been announced because it's a twist in the first issue," King told Newsarama. So, Adam strange is only the co-star of this book in the same way Mister Miracle is the co-star with Barda. We haven't announced the other character, but it's someone different and someone who wants to come in. We have hints. If you look closely at Heroes in Crisis and Mister Miracle and a little bit in Batman, you could figure it out."

Fans will surely delve back into Heroes in Crisis and Batman to try to deduce which character may star alongside Adam Strange in Strange Adventures -- but, as revealed by King, the answer will only come in the first issue of the series.
