Will DC Rebirth Lose Momentum With Tomorrow's Skip Week?

DC Comics has begun its Rebirth. Relaunched and renumbered titles with new creative teams all tied into an attempt to reclaim what was once lost. Sales are strong, readers are invested and Marvel's own big crossover Civil War II has been relegated and Apocalypse Wars all but forgotten.

Which makes a strange reason, this week, for DC Comics not to publish a single rebirth title.

We get a smattering of annuals, Deathstroke, Grayson and Teen Titans, the latest issue of Dark Knight III, but no DC Rebirth titles at all.

It's "fifth week" syndrome, which DC Comics suffers from more than most, comic book schedules designed for a four week month and when there is a fifth Wednesday, rather than spread the books out and give a couple of titles a week or two's extra time so you don't have to rush a book out of the door, they cram them into those four weeks and let the fifth week be used for… other projects.

Which means, rather than having Flash #1 out this week instead of last, DC Comics have a small smattering of books, that are up against Marvel Comics' Captain America: Steve Rogers #2, Black Panther #3, Darth Vader #22, Spider-Man/Deadpool #6 and Extraordinary X-Men #11.

While Image Comics, celebrating Millar Day have Jupiter's Legacy Vol 2 #1.

It's just not DC's week. But, for some reason, they planned it that way.

Although, it has been noted that a number of Rebirth second prints will be published, as well as the third print of DC Universe: Rebirth #1 with a Wally West Flash cover.

Grayson Annual had better be good, that's all I'm saying. After all, it's got these folks in it.
