Marvel's direction is toward CIVIL WAR 2 next May. Now if DC announces INFINITE CRISIS 2 for the summer...  2? They've already done 3 of them No no: JL/JS team up Crisis stories Crisis on Infinite Earths Legends Millennium Zero Hour: Crisis in Time Identity Crisis Infinite Crisis Final Crisis |

"Crisis on Earth C" and "Crisis on Earth C Minus" are the ones that need the sequel treatment

While there have been 3 Crisis reboots (not counting the extremely minor changes from Zero Hour: Crisis in Time), there was only 1 Infinite Crisis, so Infinite Crisis 2 is kosher (if likely a horrible idea). |

Well it looks like DC has finally come up with a plan to address their market share woes-follow Marvel by doubleshipping thier best selling books-that's right, looks like DC (the holier than though sales staff, who in their old CBR columns when the new52 was king of the hill early on, always claimed doubleshipping was a sales gimmick by Marvel to inflate sales at the cost of quality issues by steady creative teams -cough late changes after final cutoffs DC cough- and beneath the dignity of DC is going biweekly too. Desperate times and all that I guess... BC article-M |

A little nugget I missed in all the stories yesterday, but just caught in reading some reactions to it- it seems in addition to going bi-weekly, all the bi-weekly titles will be increasing to a $3.99 price point if they are not already $3.99 books (things like Batman and JL already are, but if the likes of Flash, GL, WW etc. go biweekly their price will go up a buck too, so from $3 ($2.99) a month to $8 to get these books.

Hooray! Twice as much Scooby Doo Team-Up.
And twice as much of any title that DC might release in the future that I would pay money for, although the odds are strongly against this let's face it.
Wait, is the Sugar and Spike relaunch still happening?

Wait, is the Sugar and Spike relaunch still happening? It's been merged with 3 other proposed titles (Firestorm, MEtal Men & Metamorpho I think) into an $8 monthly anthology called Legends of Tomorrow. So yes still happening but not as a standalone title. -M |

Side-note: Apparently SD-TU # 12 is DC's biggest back issue in years, going for 20 bucks online. HA! |

The Legends of Tomorrow book contains 4 20 page stories so it is like buying 4 titles for the price of 2 if that is any consolation.
