And as a result the above double splash page gives us some idea of the future of DC Comics to come. Including Alysia Yeoh, Barbara Gordon's transgender flatmate from the Gail Simone run, becoming a vigilante And this future has not been diverted. But at the end of Captain America, SHIELD was disbanded, the information it, and[...]

So, as we know, Superman used his new Superflare power in the last issue of his Geoff Johns/John Romita comic. Sorting out Ulysses, but draining his

The topic was teased but ultimately done away with. There have been similar concerns regarding the current plot of Batwoman. Mary Sue reported under the headline "Why is Rape in Batwoman More Interesting Than Marriage to DC Comics?" Yes, vampires are often used as a metaphor for rape This is not a metaphor and it's not seduction[...]

The new Boom! series Strange Fruit by JG Jones and Mark Waid takes the front of next week's Previews catalogue from Diamond Comic Distributors... while

An irregular look at changes 'twixt solicitation and shipping from Marvel Comics and DC… New Suicide Squad #8 had Tom Derenick added to the solicited art of Rob Hunter. Detective Comics: Endgame #1 had Ronan Cliquet added to the solicited art of  Roge Antonia and the cover changed from Gabe Eltaeb to Rafael Albuquerque New 52: Futures End #45 had Jack Herbert added to the[...]

But the big questions left out there are: Why do you have only have of Firestorm as Robbie Amell has not signed on? Who will Caity Lotz play? Will the episodes be stand alone or all connected? And what will the show be called? If I had to speculate – I'm thinking it may be called[...]

Here is the Convergence #1 1:100 Variant.cover by Greg Capullo, showing the design of the new-look CHAPPIE Batman, published here for the first time.

DC media partner CBR who first ran the cover has now run the following releases from Rafael Albuquerque and DC Comics My Batgirl variant cover artwork was designed to pay homage to a comic that I really admire, and I know is a favorite of many readers 'The Killing Joke' is part of Batgirl's canon and artistically, I[...]

After DC's weekly series are over with I worry for DC Walking Dead still far and away Image's best seller. Teen Titans back issues starting to see some love Could the news of a Titans T.V show be getting people interested? It was all about Walking Dead #138 this week 300 copies sold out in less than[...]

And #changethecover and don't #changethecover have been warring since, though "don't" seems to have the numbers… But will it make a difference? I am aware of concern within DC Comics regarding Batgirl #41, and it's seen as a conflict between editorial behind the comic and marketing behind the variant cover programme, with different priorities. Whether DC Comics[...]

Legendary artist J Scott Campbell, creator of Danger Girl and co-creator of Gen-13 posted on Facebook in response to the new look Wonder Woman costume. It

This is the cover to Batgirl #41, for DC's June mini-relaunch Featuring the new-look Batman And very much in fitting with the pop style of the comic book, that has relaunched Batgirl in a fresh, youthful, exciting fashion away from depressing themes and tones that had previously been associated with the book. Also in June, DC Comics[...]

Where supply and demand and most accurately reflected, where you can see which books are hot, where new orders are coming in and how retailers are reacting to new, unanticipated desire! This week Convergence #0, buoyed by a little press, has rocketed to the top as retailers increase their orders, over and above a bevy of[...]

Irwin Hasen, artist on Green Lantern, Justice Society, Flash, Johnny Thunder, creator of the character Wildcat with Bill Finger, and the newspaper strip Dondi, has died at the age of 96, reported by the New York Daily News. Michael Uslan calls Hasen "DC's last surviving artist from World War II So DC's 'Golden Age of Comics' has come[...]

Because, not only are we having a new costume change three issues after the old costume change… Bleeding Cool understands that Superman's secret identity will be exposed to more folk, as this handy photoshopping of the cover to Superman #41 demonstrates Lois, Cat and Perry? The staff of the Daily Planet? The whole of Metropolis? Everyone? In the old DC[...]

We continue to Frankenstein DC Comics solicitations for June together, with a bunch of fresh new ones just gone up, with only a few left to go – as well as take a second look at what's coming through. Such as Superman, Batman and Wonder Woman all getting a new look. So we get three[...]

He wrote, I received comp copies of the Orion Omnibus from DC Comics late yesterday afternoon I believe it's due out in a few weeks.  The physical package is nicely done, but I have decided to express publicly, in a way I rarely do, that I am very disappointed in the book. As some of you may remember,[...]

One day we were watching the news when, during the broadcast, a report on how much Superman # 1 sold for prompted my mother to ask me "How come you don't have a comic like that?" I said, "I did a comic like that, I had that comic." My mother turned from the TV as quick[...]

We mentioned a while ago that the DC Comics move from East Coast to West Coast would cause ructions for West Coast publishers, more than it would the New York publishers they leave behind. After all, losing almost half your New York staff, even with imposed cutbacks, still means for a lot of Help Wanted signs. Last[...]

Photos taken in the wild by Bleeding Cool reader Travis Pelkie… DC Comics newsstand issues of Detective Comics #39, Justice League United #9, Batman/Superman #19 and Batman #38. The comics are all $3.99 in comic stores, but $4.99 on the newsstand. It's not the first time that the newsstand price has been higher than the[...]

Consider this an irregular feature looking at comic books that have gone to second prints or more. Now, it is worth remembering that some publishers plan

And Bunker, a member of the Teen Titans is gay. That's about four ongoing DC comic book titles with a lead portrayed as being LGBT and a number of ensemble comics with significant LGBT characters That's… getting pretty close to representative of the general population isn't it? Now how that appears is up in the air[...]

We're looked at two examples of Marvel offering large discounts to retailers if they order large copies of their Secret Wars titles in June. Now it's DC's turn This is how they intend to get those numbers up Firstly every retailer must order five issue of every launch or relaunch title to qualify Not too hard… Take[...]

What we have learnt, as we have been updating yesterday's Frankensteining DC in June article. Three of them! I never knew when I was well off – The Brigadier, Doctor Who. We are getting three new Batmen – one for Batman, one for Batman Beyond and another for Earth2: Society Here they all are. Bryan Hitch is drawing[...]

As for not being allowed to look back… who would want to? Chip Zdarsky attempts a Marvel/DC crossover with Howard The Duck #1 but fails one panel in… Doctor Strange is in The Library in New Avengers Quiet please. I'm glad that Ms Marvel confirms the wackiness of Manhattan I sometimes wonder if the rest of the[...]

As Ardian Syaf knocks it out of the park – could he be DC's new Skottie Young? You might want to avoid trouble spots but sometimes its unavoidable Such as when the Fantastic Four has to deal with those pesky Heroes Reborn Avengers created by Franklin Richards Thankfully their Captain America seems to have had breast reduction surgery[...]

How ironic that DC has waited until these gentlemen have passed away to begin producing programs like Supergirl, The Flash, Arrow, Legion of Super Heroes,. I have asked DC several times to give them some kind of credit Not looking for royalties Just an acknowledgement of all the work these men put into building the DC[...]

Thanks to Newsarama, CBR, ComicBook, Uproxx, Hitfix, Nerdist, EW and Topless Robot let's piece what we can together for DC Comics' solicitations for June… some of these probably belong in July, but we can keep updating this as we go along… UPDATE: We can confirm, no sign of JL United, Cyborg, Mystic U, Dark Universe for June, pushing them into July.

The solicit reads… Superman #41 Written by Gene Luen Yang Art and cover by John Romita Jr and Klaus Janson The Joker variant cover by Karl Kerschl. The epic new story line "TRUTH" continues with[...]

Over to Newsarama, who have been revealing their discussions with Dan Jurgens and Bernard Chang at the DC press summit last month with their media partners, now no longer under embargo. And just as we find out that Batman is going to be an all new Batman under the all-new CHAPPIE suit in June, so it[...]
