Eleven days ago, Bleeding Cool broke the news that GlobalComix was going to announce that they were going to start publishing a digital line of DC Comics as part of their offering. BC says GC announces DC at NYCC. A major move for both publishers and potentially the start of a consolidation of digital comic books away from what is left of Kindle and Comixology.
Today, GlobalComix issued a press release, which means that all these other websites suddenly felt able to cover the news… none that mentioned Bleeding Cool, of course. That would be beyond the pale.
