DC Comics: Rebirth

Honestly I think that Comixology unlimited is the way to go if you read enough series. They not only have the catalogue of material from nearly every publisher, but there is also a discount if you purchase comics. I think DC is 15%? So, if you buy enough comics then it is like you are getting the rest of the catalogue for free.

I would have done that in a heartbeat but it’s not available in Canada. VPN is not a sufficient workaround as I also need an American credit card.

I don't think that is true--I have never tried to subscribe to unlimited but I have bought comics on four continents and never needed an American credit card.
 
I looked and you are right--only available in the US. That's really odd because it is not like a television streaming service and it seems they make deals with individual companies.

Many books have different copyright deals, release dates and even publishers across countries (occasionally the very titles are different), so I’m not altogether surprised regarding comics. It does say they plan to expand, but I expect it’ll be like Netflix—different selection per country.

That makes sense, but why is the entire catalogue available for purchase then?
 
*Groan* The release of SHAZAM! #7 has become a never-ending story. Coupled with the constant delays of Doomsday Clock and Three Jokers, no wonder there are conspiracy theories floating around about TPTB now having it in for Geoff Johns.
 
I don't know of anywhere else to put this, so I will just put it here.
The upcoming animated movie Wonder Woman: Bloodlines will be coming with a new short focused on Death from The Sandman comics.
Here's the description in the article:
DC Showcase: Death (Animated Short) – Inspired by Neil Gaiman’s “The Sandman,” Death is produced & directed by Sam Liu (Justice League vs. The Fatal Five) and written by J.M. DeMatteis (Batman: Bad Blood). In the story, Vincent, an artist with unresolved inner demons, meets a mysterious girl who helps him come to terms with his creative legacy … and eventual death. Leonard Nam (Westworld) provides the voice of Vincent, and Jamie Chung (The Gifted, Big Hero 6) is the voice of Death. The voice cast includes Darin De Paul, Keith Szarabajka and Kari Wahlgren

Some bad news, Superman #15 and Supergirl #34 have been pushed back again for a new release date of September 18. Considering Superman #15 is set to introduce the new LoSH, it makes you wonder what the hell is going on there.

Also, G. Willow Wilson will be leaving Wonder Woman, with October's #81. Taking over in November with #82 will be Steve Orlando, so it's not all bad.

the delay is certainly annoying. I've been waiting for Supergirl, so it sucks it's going to take so long for it to come out.
 
Yeah, if slowdowns are hitting Johns too, that would definitely point to more that just an individual problem that Bendis is having.
 
Superman 15.

Superman Annexes Earth.

It was pretty subtle, but anyone else who thinks that they should represent Earth on the United Planets Council, will not be happy.
 
So Tom King's final Batman issue is #85 coming out in December (though he'll still do the Batman/Catwoman series), and now DC has announced that from January's #86 James Tynion IV will be the new writer of the main Batman title.

I like that idea. I really enjoyed Tynion's run on Detective Comics, as well as his JL Dark title, and I'm very happy when he makes Scott Snyder's JL title a more coherent and comprehensible read. I guess I'm buying the Batman title again (especially since DC goes monthly with all their twice-monthly titles come January).

The art team is very good, as well, with Tony Daniel doing the pencils and Danny Miki doing inks.
 
I am enjoying JL Dark, so I'll try out Tynion on Batman. It will be nice if we can finally get a readable Batman book for the first time since before Grant Morrison took over.
