Justice League Dark Series Cancelled, Repurposed As Back-Up Strip

Justice League Dark was announced as a returning series from current writer Ram V and artist Xermanico at CCXP a couple, of weeks ago. Well, it seems that there is a slip twixt cup and lip. DC Comics March 2021 solicits state that it will, instead, be a back-up strip for the new Justice League comic by Brian Michael Bendis and David Marquez.

Ram V tweeted "So this is out in the wild! Justice League Dark will be part of the Justice League Book going forward. Written by me w art by @Xermanico alongside the Justice League story by @BRIANMBENDIS and @DaveMarquez. Details in @dccomics solicitations out today!"

So that will be the only place you can find Justice League Dark come March – and Aquaman for that matter. When DC Comics launched the New 52 ten years, it had a number of $3.99 titles that had back-up strips, while standard comics were $2,99 each. They soon went by the wayside, however. It seems that this model may be experiencing a revival at DC. Fewer titles, more content, higher prices. Is this a winning formula? We will have to wait and see.
