Comics Folk React To DC Going Bi-Weekly
Yesterday, Bleeding Cool broke the story that DC Comics was going to make certain titles of theirs bi-weekly next year. It was soon followed by up CBR, Comic Book, Newsarama, Flickering Myth and more. Some credited BC, some chose not to. But what did the boots on the ground think?
Something tells me I might have a busy 2016.
Chris Burns ·well, we know it woun't be Hitch's Justice League of America…
Fehérvári András ·Terrible news. The already at best decent art is going to turn into even worse art, and the storyline progression will get cut even more. Even now I am only down to 1 comic series after they axed the brilliant Gotham By Midnight.

raggedtHaving an actual vision to go along with their bi-weekly production might also help too. Criticize Marvel as you will (and as a longtime DC-er, I do), but at least they have a real sense of "universe" that's helping them with their sales and marketing. DC right now seems totally lost and is just throwing things at the wall (and, no, this can't all be laid at the feet of the Star Wars juggernaut, which, if anything is hiding how poorly DC is actually doing).
geoffdude I'll just drop one title for each book that goes bi-weekly. I have a budget, and will stick to it. I'm sure many others will do the same. – And, I agree with "raggedt" DC needs a game plan, long-term, to make me even care about most of their offerings. Since nu52 I've lost all trust in their creative capabilities.
ManofBatz I'd be dropping a few bucks just because of my current budget :-(
Warlach I love DC comics but this is a company that regularly plans things and then they never appear – still waiting on that Mystic U comic, and others! – so until it gets a solicitation (and really, even then) I just think its worth staying calm.
