Bleeding Cool previously told you that DC Comics was to launch their very first retailer exclusive variants, for the launch of the upcoming Dark Knight III: The Master Race series, looking to repeat Marvel's Star Wars launch model. But which artists would be available for retailers for said exclusive covers? Jim Lee? Greg Capullo? Andy Kubert? No, no,[...]

But with these wrapping up I wonder how well Marvel sales will do, the longer Secret Wars stretches on… DC took the middle to bottom of the sales Seems like even Bryan Hitch's JLA isn't immune to the DC dip, as the sales for issue 3 are dramatically different from issues 1 and 2 We Can[...]

"DC Comics co-publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee Burbank, CA 8/28/2015 (photo by John McCoy Daily News)" Ex-CBR writer Beau Yarbrough ran a relatively-puff piece about DC Comics move from New York to Burbank for the LA Daily News. During which, DC co-publisher Dan DiDio responds to recent stories on Bleeding Cool reporting a financial shortfall, a[...]

And because it's late on Friday, with a long weekend ahead, here's a Frank Cho sketch cover for A-Force #1, with his own take on She-Hulk. And a

Talking to CBR about the appearance of Cassandra Cain in the upcoming Batman And Robin Eternal weekly series from DC Comics, Tony Daniel wanted to make something very clear. She's also one of my favorite characters I loved her in "Batgirl," and I loved working on her with Geoff Johns as she was in our "Teen[...]

In recent days, I've looked at reports coming from DC Comics employees regarding changes at the publisher over the last few weeks, in regard to less-than-stellar financial reports and measures being taken to counter them. Well, I've spoken to an individual who, in a previous life, actually was a DC Comics "beancounter", with their own take on[...]

Two new books I hear coming down the line, open for pitches and proposals at DC Comics, Booster Gold and Captain Atom. Booster Gold was given much importance during Convergence, travelling from domain to domain, with a version of himself transformed into the Waverider character from the Armageddon 2001 series from decades ago An earlier version of Booster[...]

Jason Fabok has definitely leapt up to the A-List of DC's artistic talent, and getting the Justice League book has been a perfect way to show off his balls-busting blockbuster comic book talents. I understand that the next issue will see that put to the test, with an all-out battle between Darkseid and Anti-Monitor. But could the highlight[...]

Two high profile stories ran on Bleeding Cool yesterday, that laid out certain woes at DC Comics On one side, a large reduction in revenue against expenditure, to the tune of over $2 million And on the other, that editorial and creators have been told to pull back on what has been described as "Batgirling",[...]

Last month, I told you how DC Comics was creating a new Vertigo promotion for the launch of new titles, giving retailers discount if they ordered the launch titles at certain percentages to Sandman Overture #5. Well they are doing the exact same discounts for the launches of Jacked, Red Thorn, Slash & Burn and Unfollow. And again if they[...]

He is the new ongoing artist for Superman, for now at least. But what of John Romita Jr? I understand, despite some scurrilous rumour mongers, that he has not quit the title, rather he was offered a new project by DC Comics, something so enticing that he couldn't help but grab it with both hands. I wonder[...]

And must be dealt with. So how, in the world of Harley Quinn does Captain Horatio Strong get dealt with? Why, with a quick costume change. Harley Quinn, it's as shameless as you want it to be… Harley Quinn #19 is published today from DC Comics Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London With a signing for Doctor Who and Planet[...]

Maybe not until we get to here… via here…? Yeah, who says DC Comics doesn't do continuity any more? It's all fitting into place… Superman #43 is published today from DC Comics Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London With a signing for Doctor Who and Planet of The Apes artist Rachel Scott today, and launching an exhibition for Jessica Martin on[...]

It's a dangerous business being Batgirl… Batgirl #43 is published today from DC Comics Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London With a signing for Doctor Who and Planet of The Apes artist Rachel Scott today, and launching an exhibition for Jessica Martin on Saturday. Today's Batgirl #43 sees a danger in the form of rogue tigers[...]

Today's Grayson is an example of the success of innovation and experimentation at DC Comics – Batgirling if you will – with the comic taking a narrative approach you might be more likely to expect in Promethea, Cerebus or Sandman. But this is Grayson so there are other concerns upon meeting a duplicated version of himself[...]

That's kinda the point….   Justcie League 3000 #3 is published by DC Comics today Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London With a signing for Doctor Who and Planet of The Apes artist Rachel Scott today, and launching an exhibition for Jessica Martin on Saturday. JM DeMatteis promised some kind of clarification of language in Justice League[...]

From a Comic Vine preview of Grayson #11, out tomorrow... Grayson comes face to... well, not face, with his doppelganger. And unlike everyone else of

A few changes 'twixt solicitations and publication.... Batman '66 #26, out tomorrow, was solicited as by Lukas Ketner, but is actually by Jesse Hamm. Teen

Okay, so it may just be for a few issues. But I understand that Howard Porter, the current artist on Justice League 3001 will be drawing the ongoing Superman comic for DC Comics. Presumably while John Romita Jr takes a well deserved break. I really like Howard Porter's current work I also think he's rather undervalued at the[...]

This was, for Walker, a problem with the character. With the DC June preview, seeming to recitify that. This updated take on Cyborg, with sleek, humanized limbs that grow to replace limbs that he lost, may have been designed in part to address this very problem of Cyborg's emasculation In this eight-page preview, Walker may have made it[...]

This morning we mentioned that DC Comics was down over $2 million on planned revenue/expenditure for 2014/2015. Here's where the other shoe gets dropped I understand from a number of senior sources that DC editorial have been told to "stop Batgirling" and go back to "meat and potatoes". Batgirling was the internal phrase at DC Comics, inspired[...]

Word reaches Bleeding Cool from numerous well-connected sources that, according to the books, DC Comics are down over 2 million dollars for the financial year beginning in 2015 than they were originally budgeted for, so far. And why? I'm told that it's a mixture of excess costs from the move from New York to Burbank, over and above[...]

The DC Bombshell artwork by, and based on, the work of Ant Lucia, has transformed the women of DC Comics characters into vintage pin-up illustrations, as well as a series of spin-off T-shorts, posters and statues In fact the DC Bombshells have been so good at taking money out of fanboy and fangirl wallets – that they've[...]

Marvel and DC comics continue to distance them self from these customer with no relative covers and stories Back issues of Fight Club blow up as well. This is probably the most diverse Top Ten we've had in a long time Star Wars clearly took the top spot, but we also have the latest issue of[...]
