In total, 17 books are going to ship twice a month. 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. 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.

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
Currently reading a slew of Bat Books, enjoying a mini Marvel revival, and the host of The Definative Crusade and Outside the Panels whilst also appearing on No-Prize Podcast on the Undercover Capes Podcast Network
