I wonder if I could do a swipe file between this, tweeted by Geoff Johns on 15th February… And this published on Bleeding Cool on the 25th January. And while Marvel may dominate the marketshare but in terms of what people in comics were reading and talking about this week? DC Comics all the way… Top Twenty Traffic Of The[...]

Outspoken comic book retailer Dennis Barger of QuickStop Comics and Wonderworld Comics seems to have a rather terrorist-style approach to DC Comics after their ComicsPRO presentation. Dennis has fallen out badly with the ComicsPRO organisers, is not a member and did not attend the meeting in Portland with DC publishers Dan DiDio and Jim Lee last[...]

DC didn't have much out this week Starting to wonder if the comic sales drop reported nationally in January will be repeated this month Hope not. Interesting mix in our top ten I Hate Fairyland has a VERY strong fan base here, allowing it to take a second spot for us Same goes for Huck, Birthright,[...]

Currently Meredith Finch and David Finch create the Wonder Woman comic book together for DC Comics. With DC Comics Rebirth, everything changes and Wonder Woman goes bi-weekly. Bleeding Cool has reported the rumour that DC Bombshells and Angela writer Marguerite Bennett is the new writer on the title, though things are rather in flux at the moment. And while I don't[...]

DC Comics were in Portland to tell retailers about Rebirth But retailers had some other things they wanted to talk to DC Comics about As marketshare and sales of DC Comics titles have fallen and blockbuster books have slipped their schedules, they had plenty of time in the four hour session t get it off[...]

DC Comics gave details at ComicsPRO for some of the Hanna Barbara titles launching in May. And rather than going for supernatural threats explained by science, they're going straight for the science fiction. Scooby Apocalypse will see nanotech viruses released that infect the reptilian part of the human brain And that is what will create the monsters[...]

Ethan Van Sciver is one of the artists on the 80 page DC Comics Rebirth $2.99 special launching the Rebirth event for DC Comics Which means that something has to give… Of course there are other things also taking his attention right now. Omg! Look what we just noticed in our baby's 3-D ultrasound!!! #GreenLantern[...]

Okay, I know yesterday's debacle with The Super Man and Superworman news-that-wasn't may throw some doubt in some people's minds over this piece. But I am told by a retailer (who is actually there this time) that DC Comics announced at ComicsPRO that Jim Lee would be one of the three creators working on the new[...]

This article contains spoilers for the most recent episode of DC's Legends of Tomorrow – Fail-Safe. . . . . . When we last left our heroes in Cold-War era Soviet Union, Martin Stein, Ray Palmer and Mick Rory were prisoners of Vandal Savage and Valentina Vostok and being taken to a gulag so she can try to make a Russian[...]

But it's also regular ongoing Marvel titles like Doctor Strange, Mighty Thor and Uncanny Avengers, Spider-Gwen and The Vision that also get a bump ahead of going on sale – a good sign of health for these titles. TOP 25 ADVANCE REORDER COMICS/GRAPHIC NOVELS/TPs (RETAIL) Publication Price Publisher BATMAN #50 POLYBAG VAR ED (NOTE PRICE) $5.99 DC MIGHTY MORPHIN POWER RANGERS #0 (3RD[...]

Next month, you won't find DC Comics in Diamond's Previews catalogue Instead you will find them, like Marvel, in their own separate catalogue However, theirs will be free to the consumer Stores will received them at double the amount they have ordered of the standard June Previews Additional copies can be ordered at a nominal[...]

At the end of Geoff Johns' Rebirth video, indicating the direction of the new DCU, we get a list of images from previous books, that we may expect to see reflected in the DC Rebirth How much of this is literal? If it all were all on the money… We have a new Birds Of Prey[...]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOFXITBuLMAVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: EXCLUSIVE: DC COMICS REBIRTH Official Announcement (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hOFXITBuLMA) Yesterday, Bleeding Cool told you that DC Comics' Rebirth would be announced today at ComicsPRO in Portland. And so it is being. We told you that the spin would be the best of the New 52 and DC You, but bringing back classic[...]

It is very possibly the best comic book Marvel Comics is publishing. But Tom King is a new DC Comics exclusive writer We think he will be writing the Batman bi-weekly comic launching with Rebirth. But that does mean that is days on The Vision are numbered… As to Vision, I'm on through issue 12[...]

The solicitations for DC Comics revealed that Cyborg co-creator Marv Wolfman was returning to the title for issue 12 in May – expected to be the book's last issue before the DC Comics Rebirth relaunch in June. See the rest of our DC Comics Rebirth coverage here. But what of the series writer David Walker, who recreated[...]

For later today... why not play along? And see all our previous coverage here....

Thank goodness for social media, because this was lovely news to wake up to this morning. I haven't really shut up about my feelings about how great Gail

I knew they'd want to get May's solicitations out of the way first… and they haven't wasted any time. I am told that DC Comics will announce Rebirth event tomorrow at the ComicsPRO event for retailers. Oh and Marc Silvestri is coming. So expect the announcement of his Batman comic as well. The spin is that the Best of[...]

Quick one, folks. I understand that a number of other creators have been approached, and others will be approached this week, to sign exclusive contracts with DC Comics. That means they can't write or draw comic books, usually work-for-hire comics books, for the competition, usually Marvel, and get guaranteed amounts of work, page rates and other benefits[...]

Today's DC Comics have a certain theme, which could lead up to whatever may be happening in the DC Comics not-a-reboot Rebirth event Possibly There is some speculation here, but I'll try to show my workings out. Bleeding Cool understands that Rebirth will see a new Justice Society Of America, a superhero team operating in the[...]

A few changes, 'twixt solicitation and publication. Batman and Robin Eternal #20 was solicited with art from Paul Pelletier and Tony Kordos but

The deal between Marvel and Diamond has their own section of Previews rather than being lumped in with all the others and subject to Diamond Previews' more favourable initial deal with DC Comics, after the original exclusivity agreements So it's very rare indeed for Marvel to appear on the front cover of the monthly catalogue. But[...]

Scooby Apocalypse kicks off DC's new Hanna Barbara line, and it's Jim Lee writing with Keith Giffen, and JM DeMatteis, with Howard Porter on art Sorted. So this is how the DC universe "ends" before it gets a "rebirth" Or something Cyborg gets an "epic conclusion" – and David Walker is not writing it, his co-cretaor[...]

This was the solicited cover for Wonder Woman #48, out last month. This is the one that actually ran. This is the solicited cover for Wonder Woman #49,

It's looking pretty likely right now that the new writer for the ongoing Wonder Woman bi-weekly, for the DC Comics Rebirth relaunch will be Marguerite Bennett. Writer and former student of Scott Snyder, Bennett has written comics such as A-Force, Angela, DC Bombshells, Earth 2, and the current Insexts series from Aftershock, a real favourite of mine. And[...]

So now how about a bit of balance? So DC Rebirth is coming It appears that it will be a partial reboot/relaunch rather than what Gabriel likes to call a "refresh" The problem is… well, let's let Daffy Duck explain. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxohDs2-UMVideo can't be loaded because JavaScript is disabled: Daffy's Special Trick (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GRxohDs2-UM) I understand this allegory has been[...]

Looks like another book has been extracted from the clutches of DC/Vertigo. As well as Image Comics publishing the DC/Helix sci-fi series Bloody Mary by Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra, they have also secured the rights to publish a collection of Garth Ennis and Carlos Ezquerra's war parody comics first published in 2000, Adventures Of The Rifle Brigade[...]
