>I’ve been having conversations with a number of comic book professionals, working for DC and Marvel. The subject of DC Comics’ current twoce-monthly shipping schedule for certain books came up. This is what I’ve heard.
>1. Some seem of the opinion that it is common knowledge that DC Comics’ current twice-monthly shipping schedule would only be running for the first six months of DC Rebirth at which the books would go back to a monthly schedule and we would get a whole load more individual titles back to make up for that.
>Which, given the performance of DC Rebirth titles, seems insane. The relaunch has worked, the books schedules are part of that, if you commit to buying Flash, it’s a lot easier to suddenly find yourself buying the fourth issue when before you would have bought the second, and bam, you’re a committed Flash reader by accident.
>There can be editorial strain on the schedule, and a reduction in the diversity of the books on offer, but it’s hard to argue with the sales success. You may not have a Poison Ivy series but you have two All-Star Batman issues instead.
>DC Comics like to announce these kind of things for January. So they still have time to change their mind if they want. Because…
>2. Others tell me that certain of the monthly books may be going twice-monthly for a spell. Possibly replacing titles that do go back to monthly. And…
>3. Still, others tell me that the twice monthly books running two different streams like Wonder Woman may be splitting into two monthly books in the new year.
>Right now the left hand is left wondering what the right hand is up to…
doubleshipping being a strain on the artists and editors seemed likely and even /co/ was saying a lot of books would likely stop doubleshipping after a couple arcs
but will rich backtrack on the rest of this stuff, try to explain why he thought ASB is doubleshipping or why Wondy would have 2 books when DC is aware that she doesn't sell a lot
I've just been assuming they'll go as long as they can with creative teams keeping pace. Though the 6 month cutoff would also fit into what we've heard (like Deathstroke crossing over with Titans around then, it did seem odd to me that we'd have a double shipped book crossing over with a monthly one).
>or why Wondy would have 2 books when DC is aware that she doesn't sell a lot
Honestly she held strong for a while in the new 52, 30-40k the entire run. Only Flash in that range didn't get a second title. She might be ok with a spinoff.
Even double shipping is a joke. Look at weekly published manga. Four dollars for twenty pages a month should be unacceptable, and even aith fourty pages, you are paying eight dollars.
If DC needs to, they should just hire more people, make their comics weekly, and lower their prices accordingly. There is absolutely no reason that a comic book publisher backed by one of the biggest media corporations on the planet can't match the output of a much smaller foreign publisher; other than the exploitation of both its talent and its readership.

This seems like shittty Disney propaganda desu. Go away OP.
JUST COME ON OUT AND FUCKING SAY IT!

Movie magic can change height. It can't change skin color.ok it probably can, but they won't.
>>85787133
they didn't try making logan a manlet though
>>85787152
They should have.
They are going to fuck up the Flashpoint Paradox, won't they?
First of all it's not even fucking called "Flashpoint Paradox" you retarded casual, that's the name of the animated movie based on it.
Second it's not like that's some classic story, it's a shitty rushed event. The only good parts were the tie-ins that explored the AU. Which probably won't even be in the show.
By "Flashpoint" I'm pretty sure they just mean that Flash fucks the timeline so they can change things they don't like, and maybe fuse Earth-One with Two Crisis-style so the JSA exist in the past. And maybe make Supergirl part of the new universe.
>>85786951
Let's look at all the things they didn't fuck up to see if there's any chance they wouldn't fuck this up
I'll start.
>>85786951
>will they fuck up the event that fucked up DC
Flashpoint was a fuck up and a mistake, fuck g it up in live action can only make it better. Look at Civil War, the comic was dumpster fire and the love action depection was good.
It would be the simplest thing ever and easily popular
>Rides the batman popularity train
>Individual episodes for each member
>Jason already dead leaving room for the red hood arc later on
>Batwoman being a fringe part of the family that eventually is integrated more into the fold
>Babs and Cassandra batgirls
>Dick and Damian team ups
>Huntress/catwoman because why not
>Big climatic finale with all the batfamily working as a unit
>>85786950
for one thing, action cartoons are dead
>>85786965
Not on Netflix!
>>85787012
anyway it's probably just redundancy and not wanting too many characters
also most people just like batman's villains more than the supporting cast
>batman
>robin
>batgirl
>person who is not one of these 3 things aka probably Nightwing
most end up content with those four and the last three showing up only occasionally

Has anybody drawn the Martian Queen in Martian uniform?
Why is Beast so cuntish?
Seeing "hardy har har" in comic not written by Giffen is weird to me.
because beast is a self loathing hypocrite.
before banner got killed and the all confronted him.
beast hacked his computer and accused banner of experimenting on himself.
beast has done the same thing and don't forget messing with time lines with bringing the early x-men to the present/future.
even the watcher was disgusted with him
I miss the times when Beast was likable.Once upon a time he was a fun science dude who looked like a furry. Now he's an asshole.
Is Arthur and his family black?
Sure why not.
No, Brain's family are the black ones.
Yyyyou w-w-wouldn't l-l-l-laugh at mmme for m-my ssssstutter, rrrrright, /co/?
Why won`t he die?
Because he's popular.
>>85785801
Batman.
Because Batman.
>>85785822
Because he's literally probably immortal, maybe
Does it say a lot about how DC has changed when a character like Harley Quinn can far and away rival Batman as their most popular character?
>>85785711
What is this, 1997?
It doesn't say anything. A lot of characters have rivaled Batman over the years, their popularity just never really sticks more than 10 years or so. Harley isn't doing anything unusual historically.
>>85785711
I like harley myself. More with joker than by herself though
Does he have a human penis or the red rocket thing dogs have?
>>85785420
I have no idea, but I love the premise of this thread. Giving you a bump with the hope it recieves the debate it deserves.
>>85785420
Obviously a beast like penis. I wonder if he fucked belle in beast form though.
>>85785420
hmmmm...... really makes u think.......
5 issues in and Aquaman is still going strong
How are your Rebirth pulls treating you so far, /co/?
