SuaveStar Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 "Has DC Comics done something stupid today?" In August. DC is cancelling Dial H for Hero, Demon Knights and Legion of Superheroes. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/05/13/dc-cancels-dial-h-and-demon-knights-too/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=facebook Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnightWing Posted May 13, 2013 Report Share Posted May 13, 2013 I'm kinda wondering how long it'll be before Diane Nelson (or someone higher up) Superboy-Prime-punches DC editorial into oblivion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Missy Posted May 16, 2013 Report Share Posted May 16, 2013 This is very interesting. I bet everyone is holding their breath until Man of Steel. If that doesn't do Major Dollars, we're going to see lots and lots of heads rolling at DC. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dc20willsave Posted June 3, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Bleeding Cool was right. September is Villain Month with 3D Covers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 Bleeding Cool was right. September is Villain Month with 3D Covers. Most of those look pretty bland. If the Batman issue features The Riddler on the cover, I'll pick that up (Though, not likely, as one of the bat-books not mentioned yet, is to feature The Joker as the cover star) but otherwise, those look pretty cheap and like the old trading cards from the 90's. Edit: Update: http://www.newsarama.com/17974-dc-villains-month-the-covers-so-far.html Looks like the main Batman title will be a Joker issue, so I'm going to be picking up nothing from DC then.

Venneh Posted June 3, 2013 Report Share Posted June 3, 2013 So, it's pretty much confirmed that DC's going full-blown 90s now, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When DC wants their fanbase to turn on them, they go all the way with it. I'm getting that Riddler issue. Scott Snyder writing The Riddler, I'm sold.

SuaveStar Posted June 4, 2013 Report Share Posted June 4, 2013 http://www.newsarama.com/17989-dc-villain-s-month-solicits-the-flash-group.html It looks like Batman isn't the only one getting a book a week in September, the Flash will also be joining the .1,.2, .3 and .4 club. Edit: According to Bleeding Cool, Action Comics will also be getting an issue a week in September. http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/06/04/four-batman-and-robin-comics-in-september-too-the-race-for-marketshare/ Edit again: And now, the main Justice League title will have one issue a week coming out in September. Aquaman and Earth-2 each get two books in September. http://www.newsarama.com/18001-dc-villains-month-solicits-justice-league-group.html http://www.newsarama.com/17993-dc-villain-s-month-solicits-superman-group.html Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Venneh Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 Two bits of interesting news. One, DC is basically doing a choose your own adventure digital comic. Two, and more importantly, digital comics have increased 125% in sales over '11-'12 for DC and now represent double digit numbers for their percentage of DC's business.

SuaveStar Posted June 5, 2013 Report Share Posted June 5, 2013 http://www.bleedingcool.com/2013/06/05/the-bullying-of-creators-paul-jenkins-talks-about-leaving-dc-and-marvel-for-boom/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter Paul Jenkins discusses his problems with, and why he ultimately left DC Comics. To me, he seems to come across somewhat bitter about his experince, while not giving many actual stories of why he is bitter, and then talking up how great Boom! have been to him recently, and then saying how he can really take or leave the comic world at the moment. I think Rich tried to get something solid out of Jenkins, but he doesn't give much away, just repeatedly plugging how great his non editor messed with work was.

Missy Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 So if the Superman / Wonder Woman comic will "explore the budding relationship between" those two, can we expect the same from Superman / Batman? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuaveStar Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Next issue: Who Pays The Bill? I give them a year until the All-Fucking issue. I'm not buying anything until I see them announce the issue where they get lost in Ikea, and fight with Mongul about who gets the last scented candle.

KnightWing Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Johns already said they're going to break up at some point and it's going to be nasty. It's just a ticking timebomb now; I'm betting it'll happen in around a year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
