But it does give retailers the confidence that if they order high on a new untested Image book, and it doesn't sell, that they won't be stuck with copies lining every long box in the shop. There's another upcoming launch from DC Comics, Collider, which Dan DiDio was telling retailers at the roadshow yesterday had been[...]

Etc etc.. At the Retailer Roadshow today, DC Comics announced a Batman And Robin crossover with Scooby Doo, the firstart of a Scooby comic that will see the members of the Mystery Mobile crossover with many other DC comics, issue by issue. Who has the biggest chin, Freddy or Batman? Who'd win in a fight, Shaggy or[...]

So it started as a discussion about a choice between Kraken and World Engines on DC Publisher Dan DiDio's Facebook page And, as all things do, it turned to Donna Troy and Stephanie Brown Specifically that latter's appearance in the upcoming Scribblenauts DC game as revealed at E3 But it didn't end there Dan told[...]

Lidl's leaflets announcing to the public their official Europe-wide licensing agreement with Man Of Steel. And the kind of things they're stocking. Look,

Between Star Wars, The Hulk TV show, and Marvel, Charlton and DC Comics exploding from every drug store shelf, super heroes really dug themselves into my imagination I had maybe a stack of 60 or so comics I had owned from age 8-10, but that summer I had my own lawn-mowing money and started to[...]

It is also not a review, Brendon's said his bit, Michael has written his review and there's a podcast coming tomorrow Instead, this is an attempt to give you, the viewing public an idea of what you might want to know before you pay your $10-$20 tomorrow… There Is No After Or Mid Credit Scene Not in[...]

The double page splash from the most recent issue of Threshold, out this week. It's always nice when it makes a reappearance. Thank you, Keith.

Around the time of the launch of the New 52, David Brothers posted an article noting one of Scott Snyder's writing tics, that of the narrator talking

He really did. Although in reprints, DC tried to hide that fact turning purple gloves… Into blue… But in Batman #21 out today, we see an earlier, rougher Batman, in a brightier, breezier Gotham, with lots of different colours and less of the shadow and shade. And the gloves? Purple… Comics courtesy of Orbital Comics, London[...]

Tim Hanley writes; With DC Comics' "Villain Month" all the rage this week, we've got an extra edition of Gendercrunching to delve into the solicits for all of the evil comics we'll get this September Two years ago, DC's New 52 relaunch received a lot of criticism for their lack of female creators They only had[...]

The new X-Men comic was clearly well received, as retailers rapidly up their advance reorders so as to avoid the common problem of ordering far less of a second issue than the first. The same is happening with The Wake, the DC creator participant comic by Scott Snyder The success of Age Of Ultron benefits the[...]

DC Comics have had a policy with their digital comics Wait four weeks and you can buy them for less on ComiXology or the DC App A $2.99 comic drops to $1.99 and a $3.99 comic drops to $2.99 Simples. But not since May apparently Some people notice that last week didn't bring a discount to[...]

Over in Green Lantern, we met Volthoom of the New 52, the first Lantern. Volthoom is not a new character. He was the guardian/sage/monk who in classic

The other day, we ran a series of images by ChasingArtwork labelled Auto Avengers. It seems he'd also done some designs called Gotham Gears. They're just

It would be fun to think it might be Justice Legion. But that's probably just wishful thinking. When talking about his Larfleeze book to ComicBook.com,

We also take a look at our regular stats from a different angle in our annual roundup. DC COMICS DC was down by the tiniest amount in March, continuing a decent run for the publisher in the new year In March 2013, DC put out 76 new comic books featuring 689 credited creators, 606 men and 83[...]

I'm even told that Batman/Superman #1 is expected to get sales of over 200,000. And DC Comics are agreeing to pay 75% of the costs of individual stores advertising their wares using Superman imagery. The ad has to be approved, so as to avoid entertainingly embarrassing ads such as these from A Comic Shop. So, there's this[...]

Bleeding Cool has been telling you about next month's Villain's Month at DC since late last year When every title will be renumbered to #1 for one month, and renamed with the name of the villain in question.
