DC UNIVERSE DIGITAL LIBRARY HITS 23,000 COMICS BOOKS! 

Digital Comics Readership Up 35%,
WHITE KNIGHT #1 Takes Top Spot of Most-Read Comic For Month of April

The ever-expanding library on DC UNIVERSE, the ultimate digital subscription service for DC fans,  will reach new heights when it adds its 23,000th comic book on Tuesday, May 12 following the latest addition of new titles to the service.

And with an amazing amount of new and vintage comic books to choose from, DC fans are reading more than ever. In fact, readership between the months of February and April 2020 has increased a whopping 35%, with over 18 million comics read on DC UNIVERSE since the service first launched in September 2018.

The two most-read books for the month of April were WHITE KNIGHT #1 and THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS #1. From writer and artist Sean Murphy, WHITE KNIGHT #1 is the first installment in the seven-issue miniseries that presents an alternative vision of Gotham in which the Joker, cured of his insanity and homicidal tendencies, sets about trying to right his wrongs. Meanwhile THE BATMAN WHO LAUGHS #1 is the debut issue of the series from writer Scott Snyder and artist Jock which follows the most frightful member of the Dark Knights - the hybrid of Batman and his arch enemy The Joker. 

New to the service this month, and bringing DC UNIVERSE’s digital library to 23,000 comic books, is DC’s one-shot YEAR OF THE VILLAIN #1 featuring stories from Snyder, Brian Michael Bendis and more, James Tynion IV’s BATMAN/TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES III and the debut issue of the terrifying apocalyptic tale from The New York Times best-selling writer Tom Taylor, DCEASED #1.
