One of my favourite comic book writers, Alex De Campi, is writing Wonder Woman for DC's Digital First comic, Sensational Comics.

The first addition to the Premier club since the Distributor Wars saw DC, Image, Dark Horse, Acclaim and, later, Marvel change their distribution deals, go exclusive with Diamond and doom the remaining distrubutors in the process Acclaim died a death, and years later IDW would take its place. But there's always an eye as to who may[...]

Or a couple of months, anyway. We first mentioned what would become Convergence back in May last year. Planned as a filler even while DC Comics moved coasts, it turned into a chance to revisit and expand on all sorts of DC Comics realities, with emphasis on the Pre 52. But here's the thing It doesn't matter[...]

Milestone, the publisher behind Icon, Hardware, Static, Xero, Blood Syndicate and many more superheroes, notable for having a greater ethnic mix than the company who printed the[...]

And Batman concocting a plan to draw him out. It's one designed to tug at DC fans heartstrings of course Since we know that in the New 52, Lois and Clark are nothing akin to an item, and Superman is intwined with Wonder Woman Which is why Batman's revelation is such a suprise.. Not least of all[...]

Power Girl has had a problem. Cory Walker pointed out the problem, if applied to a 'Power Man'. Writers have had her make an excuse or give a reason for

December saw DC Comics take the lead in marketshare in the number of comic books published in 2014, but how much of that was down to publishing more titles? Quite a bit it seems. Using unit marketshare divided by the number of books shipping and multiplied by a hundred gives us a comparative score of percentage per[...]

Everything happened. That Brainiac has a "collection of more than 40 doomed "worlds" from across 75 years of the DCU" which he pits against the other."Convergence shows you where those heroes went, what they have been up to since Brainiac bottled them and whether they will ever return from "where world's go when they die.""

Dan DiDio has been posting on Facebook his memories of DC Comics as they prepare for their move to Burbank It sounds a little too much like a memorial speech, or even a retirement eulogy, though I'm hoping neither are on the cards There was the time he failed to successfully pitch Grant Morrison's Crisis[...]

In April 2013, DC Comics published a series of "WTF Certified" covers, foldout covers that gave a surprising reveal Or that at least was the intent.
