It's a shame that the preview published in almost all DC titles showed only the most crass example of that, the gladiatorial fight, when the book is so much more. Suiciders is one of the best comics DC is publishing right now, but it is being criminally ignored I understand that DC Comics may be looking to[...]

Mark Bristow writes, What is Convergence? Convergence is DC's newest big cross-over event, featuring the appearance of dozens of old DCU characters and storylines that were left behind after the Flashpoint even and 2011's New 52 line-wide relaunch It also serves as a publishing gap as DC moves their offices to Burbank.

So I thought I;d not only pull back the curtain on an industry story, but also how such stories get put together. It all started over two weeks ago… 31st March – DC Comics sends out complimentary  copies of their titles to creators, which includes the FCBD issue These go everyone who works for DC Comics, including[...]

Who wrote the Just Imagine Stan Lee Creating series, recreating several DC Comics characters from the ground up, And what happens to them…     Oh dear….

With editor Marie Javins preparing comic books in advance for April, so that all the solicited creators match the actual published creators. Man, DC's Gendercrunching is going to look awesome when Tim Hanley gets around to April. Anyway, that leaves Ch-Ch-Changes without its usual go-to creative upheavals to report. So we have to look further afield… The short story by Henry[...]

And people are getting jittery about spoilers. So that's where Bleeding Cool comes in. Take the DC issue Divergence. We've already mentioned a month ago what you might be expecting to read in the Superman chapter, and the way that will change the character's status quo.
