But unfortunately for Marvel and DC, they're in that kind of boring period just now. And at DC it seems that there's a massive desperation, they're relaunching their entire line right now in September, all in one month And I said, why didn't you guys just roll it out over a year [...]

So, do you Feel Really strong? The petition listing reads; Lately Marvel have been rebooting comics like mad, from hulk, to ironman to avengers to

That means it's cheaper for both). THUNDER Agents will return, and yes, will still have Nick Spencer writing. Nicola Scott is working on an upcoming DC project.

You will see this look in the comics in the not too distant future. So this is the DC Relaunch version of S.T.R.I.P.E Can Stargirl and the rest of the JSA be far behind? Last month, MTV Geek ran the exclusive look at the Mattel wave 19 of DC action figures, including the collect and[...]

Over 10,000 people seem to have responded to the Comic Book Resources survey on the public appeal for the upcoming DC Relaunch, title by title.

Cully Hamner talked about his role in the redesign of the DC Universe on his blog a few days ago. But more intriguingly were his words in the comments

In the relaunch, 2% were women Is there a reason for this change? 2 What percentage of current comic book readers do you expect to be cannibalised by day-and-date digital? 3 Day-and-date digital has timeliness demands for content approval that print does not Editorially what can you do to keep the books in time without  bringing in[...]

Watching the reaction (and indeed my own reaction) to the DC Relaunch, I got to thinking… what if the Bleeding Cool forums had been around when this little baby was published for the very first time back in 1975? Clicky for biggy. Watching the reaction (and indeed my own reaction) to the DC Relaunch, I[...]

The DC Comics Relaunch doesn't seem to have let up, and we're noticing Marvel bringing in their big news from October and November in an attempt to crack DC's grip on the news cycle We haven't even seen Marvel's September solicits yet (aside from a few sneaky covers that made their way through…) Of course whether[...]

Everyone's talking DC relaunch Yes, even you And it's the same at Bleeding Cool Towers as well So I asked ten writers for Bleeding Cool to tell us which, of the fifty-two issue launches, they are most excited about Here's what we thought.

by Tim Hanley With the full solicitations for DC Comics' relaunch now revealed, we have a special edition of Gendercrunching!! In terms of female characters, it looks decent Of the 52 new number ones, 7 of the books are headlined by solo women or all-female teams, and several other team books feature female characters[...]

Fifty-two titles. All monthly. All starting in September. All going day-and-date digital simultaneously - which can need a greater lead time than the

The official blurb for Action Comics #1 by Grant Morrison and Rags Morales gives us the impression that we're heaing for a Year One approach… This momentous first issue will set in motion the history of the DC Universe as Superman defends a world that doesn't trust their first Super Hero.
