Last week, Bleeding Cool reported that DC Comics had announced a second printing of The New History Of The DC Universe: The Dakota Incident, the comic book that explained the one-line dismissal of the Milestone Universe in the main series, with a clever, meta-textual dig at its own publisher, while also lining up the Milestone characters to potentially return in the DC Universe – as Static made a full blown appearance in the DC's K.O. spinoff one-shot, The Kids Are All Fight. Bleeding Cool also reported that the comic book reached the very top of the Top Ten Hottest Comics of the week, made our Top Ten Bestseller List for comic books sold that week, and then saw sales on eBay top $25. Clearly, there was an immediate case for a second printing, and DC announced it. However, they didn't update the system so that retailers could actually order it, and they started complaining. Certain creators on the book contacted Bleeding Cool and wondered if we could highlight the situation. Which caused its own controversies. And now, a week later, DC Comics has revealed the cover to the second print, by Dan Mora, featuring Static.
Available in comic shops on the 22nd of April, DC Comics has just updated the ordering listings on Lunar Distribution. Retailers, who may have had customers coming in for the last week to request a second print, have not been able to add those orders until now, have somewhere to go… and a Final Order Cut-Off date for those orders, on the 30th of March.
