In total, 17 books are going to ship twice a month.Â Whilst many fans will no doubt look forward to strong creative teams, it is worth saying that your wallet is going to take a hit, especially as books that aren’t getting the “Rebirth” treatment such as Gotham Academy, Robin Son of Batman and Earth 2 will still ship in June as well.Â DC have dialled back the price point back to $2.99 for their line, which depending on your point of view, is a good thing looking out for the fans or a stark necessity with the amount of books that are about to hit the shelves.

Johnny "The Machine" Hughes

I am a long time comic book fan, being first introduced to Batman in the mid to late 70's. This led to a appreciation of classic artists like Neal Adams and Jim Aparo. Moving through the decades that followed, I have a working knowledge of a huge raft of characters with a fondness for old school characters like JSA and The Shadow
