Talk about hedging your bets!
In one of the least committal statistics ever released by a comic book publisher, DC's Jim Lee revealed that the percentage of DC's readers that are women is somewhere between 15% and 45%, or, in other words, almost none, or nearly half.
Lee bases the numbers, basically, on guesswork, according to an[...]

So about that Milestone revival…
At San Diego Comic-Con last month, DC Comics Co-Publisher Jim Lee told panel attendees that the Milestone relaunch would be "codified in the next few months." Lee also confirmed previously revealed plans that Milestone stories would take place on Earth-M, part of the DC Multiverse But a new development could derail[...]

Yesterday at San Diego Comic-Con, during DC's Meet The Publishers Panel, DC co-publishers Jim Lee and Dan Didio made it clear that all Dark Matter titles will not only hold the line at $2.99, but that there will be no variant covers, either.
Variant covers have long been considered a staple of comic book publishing, as they[...]
Dan DiDio and Jim Lee, co-publishers of DC, had a lively conversation with the audience that touched on everything from Batman/Elmer Fudd to a few new Grant Morrison projects.

While DiDio[...]
But we are fixing that challenge."

DC isn't ready to pull the trigger on a Marvel Unlimited-style comics[...]
At the DC Meet The Publishers panel at San Diego Comic-Con today, DC co-publisher Jim Lee announced plans for the company to launch a new line of books in the style of "evergreen" stories like Watchmen and Dark Knight Returns.
Though Lee called it a "soft announcement" of the line, he said that DC is looking[...]
This part is mostly drawn by Jim Lee, but Kubert and Romita Jr do add to parts of this section towards the finale.
I will go ahead and say that Dark Days: The Casting is a good bit better than The Forge If you're in this for a yes-no, does it work or not evaluation, the answer[...]
In Dark Days: The Casting, writers Scott Snyder & James Tynion IV make an interesting redefinition of what causes metahumans in the DCU
So of course it feels natural for Batman to be our front and centre character for this issue, though to describe it as a Batman event would be terribly reductive.
Cover by Jim Lee, Scott Williams and Alex Sinclair
We also get a Joker – sorry, fans hoping for more on the Three Jokers mystery, though it[...]

But will instead have his first Trading Card variant instead!

So does Batman trust this murderous psychopath with this information? Did the Joker get in on his own, or did Bruce let him in?
The problem is, I don't care to get the answers of these questions because it's so obviously a shock-stinger that could not possibly have a satisfying answer.
This book has a very talented[...]
Here are the latest batch.
But what incentive do retailers and customers have to place value on current tiered variants if this is where they'll end up in a few years?

I was in high school at[...]
The problem I'd say lies in that there's little rhyme or reason in how the artists have seen their duties split up.
The work from Andy Kubert, Jim Lee, John Romita Jr., Danny Miki, Klaus Janson and Scott Williams is all top notch, but instead of one art team tackling specific scenes, they seem to jump[...]
What to do? What to do?

DC decided on this progression after unearthing a centuries-old prophecy from the renowned prophet Danstrodidimos, which said, "First Comes The Dark Days, Which Gives Way To The Dark Nights, Which Gives Birth To The Dark Matter." Close adherence to the publishing ritual will result in increased sales for DC and continued public relations mishaps for their competitors[...]
