The DC Universe Father's Day Sale

 

 

Celebrate this Father's Day with DC Comics Digital and a special three-day FATHER'S DAY SALE showcasing a plethora of comic book tales featuring the dads of the DC Universe.

 

Whether a hero, a villain, or a sidekick, fathers often play an important role in shaping the lives of the world's greatest super heroes. Sometimes it's by instilling the values and ideas that make a man a superman. Other times it's through demonic world domination. A lot of times, it's by triumph through tragedy. But in all cases, it's with fantastic storytelling.

 

From Grant Morrison's Dark Knight debut in BATMAN AND SON through SUPERMAN: LAST SON and SUPERMAN: BRAINIAC by superstar writer Geoff Johns, to the Eisner-Award winning STARMAN and BATWOMAN: ELEGY, all these and more are available in the special sale. Over 100 comic book issues—all for 99 cents each!

 

Give the gift of comics this Father's Day. The 3-Day sale begins 6/16 in the DC Comics Digital Store.

Download a Free Copy of SUPERMAN/BATMAN #1

It’s the eternal debate: are you a Superman fan or a Batman fan?

 

When it comes to the popular series SUPERMAN/BATMAN, it doesn’t matter. For over six years, this anthology series served up equal doses of both, fighting side-by-side for justice against enemies such as Lex Luthor, the Joker, Ra’s Al Ghul, Bizarro and Darkseid. If you’ve haven’t read the series or haven’t read it in a while, we’re giving you a great chance to try it out…and it doesn’t cost you a dime.

 

Here’s all you need to do to download a free copy of the first issue (written by Jeph Loeb and drawn by Ed McGuinness and Dexter Vines). Click here to be taken to our redemption page. Once there, enter the code #SUPBAT and click “redeem.” That’s all there is to it, but don’t wait. This offer is only good until 11 p.m. PST tomorrow.

 

Do you prefer Superman or Batman? Well, SUPERMAN/BATMAN #1 won’t make answering that question any easier. It’ll make answering it irrelevant by proving that it’s perfectly okay to like both.

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.”
