Is Jim Lee's Addiction To Foldouts Getting Out Of Control?

Bleeding Cool reported plenty from DC Comics from yesterday's Diamond retailer breakfast at New York Comic-Con. Catch up with all the information from all manner of publishers right here.

But a few bits slipped past us.  Here's one.

Firstly that the new series spinning out of Metal, and dubbed the New Age Of DC Heroes, The Immortal Men, Damage and The Silencer will each launch with a vertical foldout cover. I can feel the hands of DC co-publisher Jim Lee on that one – he does like a foldout, that man.

Remember X-Men?

And more X-Men?

And WildCATS?

And more WildCATS?

And Justice League?

Maybe someone should call an intervention. It is harder though, Jim Lee is co-publisher. And if you sit him down at a table with a circle of chairs to address his issues when it comes to expanding the page from its limits by spending money on complicated printing and origami, he'll just whip out a pack of cards and start dealing for a high end poker game.

Any ideas what can be done?

But the past has come back to haunt her in the form of her old employer and a deadly new mission…and Talia Al Ghul won't take no for an answer.
