We are getting seriously close to Before Watchmen: Multi-Legged Chicken Waitress here… DC Comics have announced a new Before Watchmen comic concentrated on Dollar Bill, the bank-sponsored superhero of the Minutemen, who died during a bank robbery when his cape was caught in a revolving door.

DC Comics, after acquiring Wildstorm and Jim Lee, were going through a bit of a reorganisation Jim Lee is made Co-Publisher The New 52 is still a pipe dream in Dan DiDio's head, Jim is mostly busy on the DC Universe game, although Bleeding Cool keeps posting these persistent rumours that he and Geoff Johns[...]

DC's best new buddies Buzzfeed have published a preview of the Dustin Nguyen/Derek Fridolfs Hallowe'en Batman digital comic, airing later today at 2pm ET. And, as you can see, they even managed to squeeze Stephanie Brown as Batgirl in there Or someone dressed up as her But given the Stephanie Brown-ectomies that have been going on[...]

Both published for Hallowe'en, two DC comics that may get missed in the telling The first is Lot 13 from Steve Niles and Glenn Fabry, originally for Wildstorm's creator owned line, but a long time getting to publication And this is your proper, classic, non-ironic modern ghost story A terrible thing happened a long time[...]

From Talon #1... ia a certain personality... back?  

Tim Hanley writing for Bleeding Cool The percentage of female creators at the Big Two went up for both publishers in August, by a smidge for DC and by a decent amount for Marvel, who stayed in the top spot We also take a look at female fandom, and get some rough estimates about the female[...]

It may have been turned down, or replaced with another project, but at one point it was seriously being considered by the company. But before the show Jeff Lemire tweeted to artist Andrea Sorrentino; "@and_sorrentino: omg, SO excited about this too! dccomics.com/blog/2012/10/1… :)) @jefflemire" Thanks!

Lucy Noonan writes for Bleeding Cool; Can we get a round of applause for the return of the Joker? It seems appropriate that the first big storyline

Ruas continues to kill it on these covers, despite DC's attempts to desecrate his art with a goddamn Arrow banner up top.   Astonishing X-Men #55 by Phil Noto My favorite cover of the week, hands down In this endless war between mankind and mutants, it sometimes feels as if every mutant is but a mere bullet in the chamber,[...]

From Denis Medr, a Justice League of the Wild West...  

The big winners win big (Image/Marvel) but DC makes up for it in spreading out its titles in a number of countries top slots AvX: Consequences #3 takes the top slots in Great Britain, Canada, USA, Brazil and Ireland, while The Walking Dead #103 staggers its bloody bones to the number one spot in France,[...]

Yet these developments are significant as three nails that signify print publications might be closer to extinction that many of us believe.

Let's all hope Marvel sees what he's done here and offers him a Storm-centric (X-Force?) book soon. EXCUSE ME WHILE I GEEK OUT SECRET AVENGERS #32 remains pure impenetrable nerd-fodder, but, well I AM a nerd and it gives me a tingly feeling to see Flash Thompson in the Venom suit as an actual Avenger, fighting (in[...]

Might attract a vampire. In Talon #1, we see what must surely be this year's gift for all DC Comics employees If not, there will be riots. And Ultimate Captain America discovers that his new role may be a little more of the desk job than he is used to Who is his deputy anyway? It's not[...]

From Superman #13, published today, by Scott Lobdell and Kenneth Rocafort. Odd lettering choice there, not to use the big open space but to shove it all

Put it simply, "New Coke" may taste better than the Classic, but it will never replace the warm and fuzzies of the Classic. There's a reason why the villains of the DCU tell Joker stories around the campfire The Joker's greatest power lies not in specialized weaponry or specialized training Instead, the Joker possesses the most[...]

As you can see from the cut-off DC logo in the upper left-hand corner there, I once again shopped the annoying banner out, but alas, DC wants to make my life difficult by having a sliver remain Anyway, centipedes are enough to make anyone squeamish, even the bravest of the brave like Wonder Woman and[...]

At New York Comic Con, I heard a number of people tell me that they had heard that the DC New 52 title I, Vampire was to be cancelled from issue 18 in six months time. And that was down to a combination of lower sales and a feeling that the comic didn't sit well with[...]

There are some who have taking last month's comic book sales numbers, compared them to last year's September numbers, and have declared as a result that the New 52 is a failure, because DC Comics sold fewer copies and had a smaller market share. This strikes me as wrong in so many ways, and here are[...]

The recent Legends Of The Dark Knight: Alan Davis hardcover from DC Comics was printed with two story pages missing. Oops.
