The next two weeks are going to be chock full of news, with THE SOURCE providing a glimpse of the DCU in 2011 and GRAPHIC CONTENT teasing highlights from Vertigo in 2011. Expect high profile announcements, exclusive previews and some definite surprises along the way. We think it’s a great way to kick off the New Year right—and to thank you, the fans, for the enthusiasm and passion you have for our creators, our characters and the books we publish.

And it all starts today with BATMAN 101.

It’s simple, really: 101 issues of Batman on sale today, 1/01/11.

For one day, you could download issues #600-700 available for $.99 each at the DC Comics Digital Store, the DC Comics App, and the ComiXology App. BATMAN 101 provides a crash course in some of the greatest Batman stories ever published: “Hush”, “Broken City”, “Under the Red Hood”, “Batman and Son”, and “BATMAN: R.I.P.” to name a few. That means stories by amazing creators like Brian Azzarello, Tony S. Daniel, Geoff Johns, Andy Kubert, Jim Lee, Jeph Loeb, Grant Morrison, Dustin Nguyen, Eduardo Risso, James Robinson, Bill Willingham and Judd Winick.

Some of you might remember our “Blackest Friday” sale. That promotion proved so popular that Hank Kanalz and our digital team wanted to kick off 2011 with another fun promotion. And just like with “Blackest Friday”, these issues will return to their regular price point tomorrow. So start downloading now, because the sale ends at 11 PM Eastern Standard Time. Then come back to THE SOURCE on Monday for a look at what the future holds for the DCU in 2011.

Happy New Year, SOURCE readers.

Celebrate ‘Black Friday’ by revisiting the DCU’s BLACKEST NIGHT

Layout 1

As most skilled shoppers know, the day after Thanksgiving is “Black Friday,” because it’s a day of deals, bargains and – well, let’s not sugarcoat it – pure, unbridled shopping frenzy. But why get elbowed and shoved by zombie-like shoppers at the mall when you can stock up on some essential comic book reading from the comforts of your own home? I guess you could call this the DC Digital Store’s very own “Blackest Friday.”

For 24 hours, starting now (midnight EST), you can snag every chapter of the NEW YORK TIMES-bestselling BLACKEST NIGHT series, from writer Geoff Johns and artist Ivan Reis for $.99 each at the DC Digital Comics Store and via the DC Comics App and the Comixology App (both available via iTunes). After this “Blackest Friday” deal, though, prices will return to our standard $1.99 and $2.99 price point.

This is a rare chance to get the epic, universe-altering series from Johns and Reis at such a bargain price. And it’s essential reading. Not only is BLACKEST NIGHT a superhero romp of the highest caliber, it’s a story that pits the heroes of the DC Universe against former friends, lovers and foes, as the dead rise to destroy everything that surrounds them. Can Green Lantern, Superman, Wonder Woman and the Flash band together to stop the swarms of Black Lanterns from dragging the entire universe into a new Dark Age?

What better time to find out? Make sure you get in on this amazing offer while it lasts and read some of the best, most compelling comics in recent memory for an unheard-of price.
