DC Comics Announces Two New Digital First Comic Series, Will Offer New Digital Content Five-Days-A-Week

On the heels of today’s SMALLVILLE SEASON 11 #1 release, DC Comics announced the addition of two new digital first weekly titles, BATMAN digital and AME-COMI GIRLS.  The addition of the two new digital titles brings the total of digital series that update weekly to five, meaning DC Comics will offer a new digital chapter every single day, Monday through Friday.


BATMAN digital, launching in June, will take place outside of DC Comics – The New 52 continuity and feature a series of stand-alone stories by various creators that chronicle different cases handled by The Dark Knight.  Confirmed creative teams include Damon Lindelof and Jeff Lemire;  Jonathan Larsen and JG Jones; Tom Taylor and Nicola Scott; Ales Kot and Ryan Sook; B. Clay Moore and Ben Templesmith; Steve Niles and Trevor Hairsine; Joe Harris and Jason Masters; TJ Fixman and Christopher Mitten; Jeff Parker and Gabriel Hardman; Joshua Hale Fialkov and Phil Hester; David Tischman and Chris Sprouse; and many more!


AME-COMI GIRLS, launching in May, is based on the best-selling product line from DC Collectibles that brings the distinct Japanese influence of anime and manga to DC Comics’ female heroines and their foes. In the new series, the heroines must unite to stop an invasion by the female Braniac, who is aided by a group of “bad girl” super villains. Initially, there will be five individual character arcs with multiple chapters, leading up to united, Ame-Comi girl series. All stories are written by Jimmy Palmiotti and Justin Gray with Wonder Woman art by Amanda Conner and Tony Akins, Batgirl art by Sanford Greene, Duela Dent art by Ted Naifeh, Power Girl art by Mike Bowden and Supergirl art by Santi Casas.


Starting in June, DC Comics’ weekly digital comic book line-up will be:

Mondays: AME-COMI GIRLS
Tuesdays: BATMAN: ARKHAM UNHINGED
Wednesdays: BEYOND series (alternating digital titles JUSTICE LEAGUE BEYOND, BATMAN BEYOND, SUPERMAN BEYOND)
Thursdays: BATMAN digital
Fridays: SMALLVILLE SEASON 11


“The addition of these new titles and the five-day-a-week digital first line-up reinforce DC Comics’ role as a digital leader,” stated Hank Kanalz, senior vice president of digital, DC Entertainment.  “We’re producing high-quality, digital first content at affordable price-points attractive to readers new and existing. We’ve seen from our top-selling digital titles like BATMAN: ARKHAM UNHINGED and the BEYOND series that these books remain very popular when collected in print form, too. In fact, both print issues of BATMAN BEYOND UNLIMITED have gone back to press within the week of their release.”

THE BREAKDOWN: Batman: Arkham Unhinged #23

 

 

Batman: Arkham Unhinged #23 concept art

Color concept art by Peter Nguyen

 

BATMAN: ARKHAM UNHINGED #23 is the start of “Vicki in Wonderland,” a new story arc by Derek Fridolfs that features Vicki Vale, the Mad Hatter and enough clever Lewis Carroll references to make you grin like a cat.

 

As our new tale begins, Jervis Tetch and that hat of his are taking Arkham City through the looking glass, and in the process are providing a few of its more noteworthy female residents with some very “curious” makeovers. It’s not easy bringing the whimsy of Wonderland to the hard streets of Arkham, but to give you an idea of how it was done, we’re offering you a step-by-step look at the creation of two pages illustrated by the sensational new art team of Peter Nguyen, Craig Yeung and Carrie Strachan.

 

In our era of day and date availability and one-click downloads, it’s sometimes easy to forget that comic book creation takes a whole lot of time. Every page and panel in a new book has undergone a multi-step process that often starts months before publication. Sadly, the vast majority of this early, unfinished art never gets seen outside of the DC editorial office, but today we’re lifting the curtain and showing you two pages in their thumbnailed, penciled and inked infancy, as well as the vividly colored finals.

 

Batman: Arkham Unhinged #23 won’t be available for download until March 20th, but we invite you to take a trip down the rabbit hole now for a glimpse at its creation…
