DC Comics November solicitations are in and I gotta be honest it doesn’t look promising from my vantage point. I’ve been saying for a while now, DC is moving towards a publishing approach much closer to Marvel and it really starts taking hold in November.
DC Comics are nearly doubling their slate of debut issues from October to November with count em 13 big #1’s. 13 new #1 issues isn’t quite Marvel territory yet but DC is quickly moving there.
DC Comics is cutting their Batman related titles back from 21 to 17 in November. 6 Batman comics have Year of the Villain tie-ins including Detective Comics, Catwoman, Nightwing, Red Hood and Batman and the Outsiders.
City of Bane continues pushing towards the end of Tom King’s run on the flagship Batman series. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo’s Batman: Last Knight on Earth #3 ends their longstanding collaboration with the Dark Knight.
Joker takes a huge step-back in November after the release of Warner Bros. Joker film in October. However DC continues pushing Harley Quinn very heavily in advance of Warner Bros. Birds of Prey film. They release 4 Harley Quinn led books including 1 Year of the Villain tie-in.
DC is releasing 8 new Superman related titles including 4 Year of the Villain tie-ins and that doesn’t include Joshua Williamson’s Batman/Superman. Superman, Action Comics, Supergirl and Supergirl Annual are all related to DC’s big line-wide event.
DC Comics starts flooding Black Label with a Mississippi River’s worth of mediocrity in November with 15 comics. Scott Snyder and Greg Capullo represent the initial promise and ultimate end of Black Label with Last Knight on Earth #3. Jeff Lemire’s The Question miniseries is being published in prestige format and runs $7 for the first of 4 issues. Neil Gaiman’s Sandman Universe, Joe Hill’s Hill House..
