In Newsarama's solicitations for DC Comics in March 2014, next to the Teen Titans solicitations is a second image, by Kenneth Rocafort, above. It's not in other websites reportage of the solicitations, nor on the DC website itself Most would have considered it to be a variant cover for that issue's Teen Titans, and maybe it[...]

Well, that's one of the DC Comics editors in New York who won't be making the move westwards in sixteen months. Bleeding Cool understands that Wil Moss, editor on DC titles such as Flash, Green Arrow and Suicide Squad, and with long runs on the Superbooks will instead be working at Marvel Comics' offices on Monday[...]

We salute you, and the keenness you bring to your passion. DC Comics take the top three spots without worry this week, with Marvel's top selling title only getting fifth place Could an underprint and short shipping have harmed its chances of getting to the top spot? Or are we already suffering Inhumanity ennui? Batman #26 Justice League[...]

Their only hope is to fight their way out! And in the shadows of the Universe, the Corps' worst nightmare is coming true: The Sinestro Corps is stirring! And after getting kicked off his Birds Of Prey run before the first issue, and being a very good boy since,  Jim Zub finally gets a DC comic[...]

Both Marvel and DC took under 30% of retail marketshare in November, 29.87% and 29.24% respectively While both have dipped under that psychologically important share point before, for both to have done so in the same month means something's up. It's not a big drop for either based on October's figures, where Marvel had 30.47%and DC[...]

Dingle, Christopher Priest, and I founded Milestone Media. Milestone was a worldwide phenomenon when it launched, and it sold millions. Our groundbreaking arrangement with DC Comics, the largest joint venture deal ever done in comics, is still the gold standard for independent publishers seeking distribution with a major one. 20 years later, Milestone is still regarded as the[...]

Two weeks before Christmas, And all through offices Not a creature was stirring Except for some promises. A letter was sitting On the co-publisher's desk From a reader, a subscriber Who was feeling most vexed. "I'm appalled" said the letter. "I live out in Devon. And I won't get Detective Comics #27". I'm far from a shop I'm far from a store And the start of Gothtopia I won't see[...]

This is all very well timed for… that. Batman: The Dark Knight writer Gregg Horwitz posted, in what now seems to be DC's official policy of announcing the end of comics by getting the writers to do it on their personal blogs; Batman is forever, but sadly not all of his titles are Batman: The Dark Knight[...]

But… how many? DC COMICS— THE NEW 52: FUTURE'S END FCBD SPECIAL EDITION Writers: Brian Azzarello, Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen and Dan Jurgens Artist: Ethan Van Sciver Cover: Ryan Sook Jump on board DC Comics' epic weekly series beginning with this all-new FCBD issue that features tomorrow's Dark Knight, Batman Beyond (making his first appearance in The New 52), battling[...]

A lot better than any expected, with Jeff Lemire, Travel Foreman, Steve Pugh and more, driving the character forward, gaining fans and, it seemed, also gave us the only married lead character in the New 52. Well, that wasn't going to be allowed to last was it? Jeff Lemire writes; My run as the writer of Animal Man,[...]

But then DC Comics cancelled the cover So the entire order for that separately-ordered variant has gone… poof! And since FOC was set before the cover was cancelled, retailers may well not have been getting as many copies of the comic as they'd have liked… Something clearly had to be done And what background discussions, hard[...]

When Five Years Later was first envisioned at DC Comics, it was designed to fix a few of the continuity goofs that had happened when the New 52 was launched. Well, from today's Justice League #25, here's another to add to the pile. Rather well executed, we get the origin of the New 52 version of Plastic[...]

Even the merest mention in the new Chew is enough to set the heart aflutter. Manifest Destiny #2, my favourite comic this week, and here's one reason why, a stunning fall from a cliff, with comic panelling utilised to the full, even a minor eclipse of the sun. Add a bunch of Minotaurs and horse headed centaurs[...]

Over at the Associated Press, DC Comics has handed them the news that DC Comics will be publishing a weekly comic set five years in the DC New 52 future to be written by  Jeff Lemire, Keith Giffen, Brian Azzarello and Dan Jurgens. Feel free to click here for a Nikki Finke-style Toldja. Bleeding Cool did get[...]

We did it for Inhumanity, why not for Forever Evil too? Five books this week, all Forever Evil-bannered but which books actually matter to the storyline?

[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=65hT_6CcMRQ[/youtube] Aaron Haaland of A Comic Shop in Orlando, Florida writes; Hey Fandom! It's me, Aaron, for A Comic Show talking about new comics now! There were a ton of my favorite DC books out this week, Valiant had Unity #2, Kirkman's Skybound delivered, and Marvel had some Inhuman and mutant mash-ups. This will probably be one of[...]

And now DC Comics has cancelled that cover. There's no update if this will affect his originally-announced two page spread, or even if they were meant to be the same thing, repurposed, or not… DC Comics advises that retailers up their orders on the Greg Capullo cover to compensate, but Final Order Cut-off date for ordering was[...]

So the big move west for DC Comics, from Broadway to Burbank, is set for sixteen months away But who is going? Well, I'm told that Eddie Berganza is already packing his suitcase But amongst a number of otrher senior staff… less than DC may have hoped I've heard there have been plenty of conversations with[...]

Twelve days, twelve free comics on ComiXology, and we begin with Batman #13 by Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo, the first chapter of the Death of The Family

I know it seems like a Daily Express headline, but bear with me. From this week's Superman/Wonder Woman, a little Christmas present buying stress for the

One such creator in attendance was legendary artist Neal Adams.  I got a chance to ask him a few questions, and he let slip a couple of things he has coming up from DC. He will be making a 10-page contribution to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Batman, out in January It will honor—and serve an[...]

Despite my reputation, I'm not actually a big one for spoiling stuff. Certainly the idea of just running the last page of a comic book the day after it
