We had lots of fun with the DC announcement of the new Hanna Barbera comic books, including Scooby Apocalypse Especially a certain Hipster Shaggy. But it might be worth having an extra look at Scooby Doo Wearing some kind of Google Glass affair, that seems to be releasing hologram emojis.   Happiness, scaredness, worry, pizza, bones, and the[...]

For April, Action Comics #51 was solicited as written by Peter Tomasi, as part of an eight part story across four titles for two months, Superman, Action Comics, Batman/Superman and Superman/Wonder Woman. But now, after the DC Rebirth stories that Bleeding Cool has run today, it looks more like a chance to clean house, and for Peter[...]

Since I first started talking about the new DC Comics renumbering and relaunching planned from June, there has been something that has evaded me Is it a reboot or a relaunch? I've previous stated that, as far as I understood it, it is a relaunch with a modicum of retconning Introducing new, unrevealed elements of the[...]

Bleeding Cool has already mentioned how a bunch of pitches and ideas have simply been thrown out with the news of the upcoming DC Comics Rebirth event, and creators and editors aren't allowed to pitch them any more, no matter how good they were. Well, one of them it seems was from Dan DiDio And involved[...]

It's a hard time pitching at DC Comics right now Everyone's at it, everyone's in competition with each other – even those who don't know they're in competition with anyone. But what's worse for some is that anything that was in the middle of being pitched, or considered, is dead Everything has to be new[...]

The sales are in for the DC Comics Vertigo new launches that ave been running for the last few months Good for Vertigo… but not good for DC Comics The only comic that has done well by DC standards of late is Sandman: Overture, Neil Gaiman's final goodbye to Sandman.

2000 DC: Black To The Future – How eschewing the establishment allowed me focus on what was is missing and what matters in making comics. By Kwanza Johnson, professionally known as Kwanza Osajyefo. What if only Black people had superpowers? The question hung in my mind as I thumbed through some comics, wrestling with the notion that a specific[...]

From 2008 to 2009, DC Comics ran a weekly series (right) called Trinity, written by Kurt Busiek and Fabian Nicieza and drawn by Mark Bagley, Art Thibert, Tom Derenick, Scott McDaniel, Mike Norton and friends. Well, in the wake of the Batman V Superman movie and the DC Comics Rebirth, I understand that with the rumoured cancellation of the Batman/Superman[...]

Bleeding Cool has already told you that we are getting a new Titans series as part of the upcoming DC Rebirth event. We didn't now if there would be a Teen Titans book anymore Turns out there is And it will be led by the ten year old son of Batman himself, Damian Wayne. He's not even[...]

I understand that, as part of the upcoming DC Rebirth project, DC Comics will be launching a new Justice Society Of America comic book. Currently in the New 52, there was no Justice Society in the forties fighting in World War II The analogous team fought on Earth 2 instead. But now, not only will this active[...]

It's not a "glamorous" casting as with Batman, but it makes me very pleased. Because I've been told that Peter Tomasi is the writer of the new Superman bi-monthly comic book, part of the DC Rebirth. He's seen as a safe pair of hands, a journeyman, a veteran editor-turned-comic creator But when I've read his comics, I[...]

Another DC Rebirth rumour comes from Writer X – I talked about his credentials here. He – or she, I suppose, though the person identifies as male – claims a number of new titles for the DC Rebirth. They include: The Super Man Three words there, not sure what the separation signifies – something psychological? Of course, Superman creators Jerry[...]

Some I know the credentials, some their past stories give me confidence to run them.

Bleeding Cool was the first to report that Scott Snyder would be leaving the Batman monthly comic he has flourished on, as it goes bi-weekly and starts from a new #1 as part of the DC Rebirth relaunch project And that Snyder will instead take on the also-relaunched-but-staying-monthly Detective Comics, also starring Batman. As part of…[...]

So how is the publication schedule of Rebirth going to look for the upcoming DC Comics relaunch we have been going on about for an age? Here's how it's going to go, as far as I understand it. In February, Batman #49 In March, Batman #50 In April, Batman #51 In May, Batman #52 In the first half of June – either Batman[...]

It's the one that will keep updating with the latest Bleeding Cool story regarding the DC Rebirth relaunch happening at DC Comics in June.

Ryan Reynolds appeared on the Graham Norton Show on BBC1 earlier last week to promote his new movie Deadpool. There was just one exchange that I thought

But last week's Grayson #16 by Tim Seeley, Tom King and Mikel Janin took DC spy character and simultaneously smashed him into the worlds of James Bond and of Jim Steranko. And this is how it looked on the boards… It was one hell of a comic book But last week's Grayson #16 by Tim Seeley, Tom King[...]

We mentioned when they were announced that DC Comics may have made a mistake making the reissue of Suicide Squad #1 their Gold title for Free Comic Book Day That's the title which all participating stores need to order 25 copies of, and gets extra promotion And choosing this comic, even with the movie, rather[...]

I know there was the rumour that DC Comics were to align their comic books more with the TV shows. I guess I thought that meant Arrow, Flash, Supergirl and Gotham Not The Flintstones, Scooby-Doo, Johnny Quest or Wacky Races. Entertainment Weekly has the exclusive on the press release, quoting DC co-publisher Dan DiDio saying "From a personal[...]

While I was a big DC store for over fifteen years, they have dramatically fell to third place here in about a year It seems to me that Marvel is doing "carpet bombing" of all available dollars we and our customers spend, while DC doesn't seem to have much of a clue on publishing popular comics[...]
