Highlights for July will include:
The debut new titles tied to the DC Universe’s “Rebirth” event.
“At DC we believe in superheroes, and what makes them great,” said Dan DiDio, co-publisher of DC Entertainment when “Rebirth” was first teased earlier this year, “And, we also believe in the direct market and the core comics fan. ‘Rebirth’ is designed to bring back the best of DC’s past, embrace the stories we currently love and move the entire epic universe into the future. We are returning to the essence of the DCU. With ‘Rebirth’ we are putting the highest priority on the direct market and we will continue to create and cultivate new opportunities for retailers to thrive and prosper, grow readers, fans and customers.”
Inaugural issues will abound this summer, with Batman, Superman, Wonder Woman and a host of other beloved DC characters starting from scratch with their “Rebirth” issues.
Also for July:
The debut issue of Mark Russell and Steve Pugh’s The Flintstones, as part of the company’s new Hanna-Barbera titles.
Also, getting us in the spirit for the David Ayer directed Suicide Squad movie, a heaping helping of Harley Quinn! Suicide Squad hits theaters August 5.
