Today's Superman comic book bursts straight out of the recent Superman/Wonder Woman. Yes that one. A Superman healed by the gods but made fully mortal. A

There will be some spoilers for the first issue of Arrow: The Dark Archer in this review. . . . DC has a new Digital First comic series based in the CW universe and this time it's focuses on Malcolm Merlyn And who better to write Arrow: The Dark Archer than the man that brings the character to life[...]

A few changes 'twixt solicitation and publication from DC Comics for tomorrow's titles This was the solicited Suicide Squad: Most Wanted: Deadshot & Katana #1 cover…   And the two that made it to the shelves! Batman and Robin Eternal #17 was solicited with a script by Steve Orlando that was actually by Ed Brisson, and art and cover[...]

Funny, when I used to work in marketing, there were plenty going round… Superman #43 is published by DC Comics tomorrow. Wilbur J Wolfingham is a classic Superman villain, a conman often trying (and sometimes succeeding) to get one over on Metropolis and/or Superman, first created in the early forties.   Originally modelled on WC Grace, he has[...]

Bleeding Cool reported last week that Scott Snyder was leaving the Batman comic at DC Comics, as well as Greg Capullo Though he wasn't moving far, to Detective Comics – which also stars Batman – to tell stories that a) weren't coming out bi-weekly and b) were well away from anything event-driven. Well his artist on[...]

Newsarama have a preview of the new Grayson #16. But do they know what they have? Well they don't have the full cover, only showing this... When this may

  So, some retailers have been chatting on Facebook about the upcoming DC Rebirth – whatever it is. Dennis Barger: your decision to take an already failed relaunch of ‪#‎new52‬ (which only has 12 that are actually still around) and attempt to ‪#‎rebirth‬ it seems even more desperate than what you have been doing for the last year[...]

Thankfully DC Women Kicking Ass has done that for me Twice. With a Batman who clearly is having problems with the level of pollution in Gotham's streets. A Lois Lane who is looking into him.  And a Lex Luthor who is looking at him with Ozymandias' television screens. And a Lois Lane with a "karate… chop!" And here are all the[...]

The return of Steve Rogers as Captain America for his 75th anniversary as part of the Avengers Standoff event, which spins off into a new Thunderbolts comic. And then on Friday, Bleeding Cool ran the news that DC Comics was to do another relaunch And while no one at DC Comics was willing to comment to Bleeding[...]

We've been saying for a while that Top Cow owner and Image Comics founder Marc Silvestri was working on a new Batman comic book. And year after year, it hasn't come close to being put on the DC Comics schedules, making us look a little like chumps. Well, I have been told that, as part of the[...]

An interesting post this weekend from George Perez who was commissioned to draw a unique picture for a fan back in 2013. There are a lot of easily noted similarities between Marvel's Merc-with-a-Mouth, Deadpool and DC's resident bad-ass Deathstroke, the most obvious being their real names. Wade Wilson and Slade Wilson respectively There are also rumors[...]

This is one of the Harley Quinn original cover art sketches that have been placed inside DC Comics Harley Quinn's Little Black Book bagged variant covers Due to federal lottery laws, DC Comics have not promoted them – or even admitted they exist But people believe there are one or two per issue.

Yesterday we ran a number of rumours regarding an upcoming DC Comics relaunch in June. By the middle of the day, it had a name Rebirth. We're hearing it's a relaunch rather than a reboot – though to expect a little retconning as recently seen in Superman: Lois And Clark and Titans Hunt… So how did people take[...]

Today, Bleeding Cool has been running a number of articles relating to what we have been told about a DC Comics relaunch We didn't say reboot, deliberately I've been hearing about a little Titans Hunt-style retconning but that's all. Turns out neither reboot or relaunch is the correct phrase. It's "rebirth". DC Comics co-Publisher Dan DiDio has just[...]

I understand that as part of the rename/relaunch happening across the DC Comics line this summer, we well see a new Titans superhero team comic, dropping the Teen prefix, and spinning out of Titans Hunt. That current Titans Hunt book has seen a number of the original Teen Titans return, remembering each other and a time[...]

Dennis Barger of Quickstop Comics and Wonderworld Comics is kicking off… Way to go DC, way to go!!! Yay!!! You finally get something news worthy and guess what, it's going to flop Why???

This is Ben Caldwell's original art cover sketch for the Harley Quinn black bag variant cover edition, slipped into a random issue of the black bagged

He then moved to DC Comics's PR Once, using goodwill alone, he managed to get me not to use a preview image of a piece of Superman artwork that DC had released with uncensored topless women on it. It was a different time. He also sent my kids this It remains my favourite unboxing video to date. He's bounced back[...]
