The End of the Line for $2.99 on New Age of DC Heroes? Plus: The Unexpected Ends With #8

Published Mon, 15 Oct 2018 22:04:48 -0500

Once upon a time, DC Comics planned to hold the line at $2.99 on their New Age of Heroes comics, but those days appear to be coming to a close with DC's January solicitations. Both Damage and Silencer have upped their price to $3.99, with only The Curse of Brimstone, Sideways, and The Terrifics sticking with the $2.99 price. And some of these $2.99 issues were originally meant to come out in December.

Well, technically, The Unexpected is also priced at $2.99 in January… but it's also the book's final issue.

If the New Age of DC Heroes goes to $3.99, or goes away, that leaves just the kids books – Looney Tunes, Teen Titans Go, and Scooby-Doo Team-Up, to hold that line alone.

Check out the New Age of DC Heroes solicits below.
